Over the next two weeks I will practice patience and tolerance. This is a area that I have a made a lot of progress but I still need more progress.

One baptism should unite instead of seperate no matter what the method of baptism. We must realize there is only one God and and where there is a confusion God is not there.

One body, one spirit, one hope, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one Lord and Father. The most compelling to me is one God and Father. If we all get in line with "one God and Father of all who is over all and through and in all" we can truly say we are brothers or sisters in Christ.

We must be completely humble, gentle and patient and bearing one another in love. Of all the attributes love is the most important and the the most difficult. Love covers a lot, if we love we can be patient, humble, gentle and tolerant.

We all have a calling and we must fulfill that calling. We are to live as God has called us to live. To conduct our lives all the time as God has called us. In the body of Christ we are one with one goal to glorify the Father, we must stand in unity to get this done.

We are now fellow citizen with God's people and members of God's household. Because we are citizens we have the same privelages as the Jews.

Access to the Father is important because we don't need permission from anyone to be in the pesence of God. We have a direct line to the Father. Basic of our access is "one spirit". We have access because of Jesus Christ. He is the mediator between God and mankind.

From the standpoint of power Paul's statement is powerful, when you actaully think about it we are joint heir with Christ. What is under Christ feet is also under our feet.

The right hand of God is a place of authority and that is where Christ is seated. If thisis a place of authority the Christ has authority. Heavenly realms differ greatly from physcial realm, God , angels demons annd we exist there.

What is wrong with thier eyes,and where does their power operate,what is the miraculous event. They don't have the Spirit of wisdom and revelation and Paul wants them to have that, just as Christ wants us to have the same thing. Once we understand what Christ wants for our life and we follow through with it we will joint heirs with Him. Paul uses Christ being raised from the dead as miraculous, and it is.
