    How Can One Say You Are of Christ if You Are Not Like Him?

    but how is it easy to see, if we can't see another's heart? but how does one know how much love another has? if we can't see their heart? does God look on the heart? The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him— the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of...

    Understanding Scripture

    but it's okay not to be - completely of Christ. because we are many imperfect and at various stages of growth maybe. or else we wouldn't be here. we would be in Heaven - with God. for God draws close to the righteous... and far, far away from the not - righteous/right/holy/perfect/complete.
