But, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ. Ephesians 4.15

Since God is love, we have only one way to do the work in him: in love. The first mistake made by a Christian is not to have or keep the commandments given by the Most High. Then he will never know the Truth and be delivered. On the other hand, those who learn how to follow the Truth will never stumble. The reason for a person to be defeated in his battles against evil is his lack of understanding about who he is and what he can do in Christ. 

Jesus said that if anyone desires to come after him, let him take up his cross—his mission—and follow him (Matthew 16.24). He declared himself the Truth and, by joining this with that which Paul was used by God to write, we believe that to follow Christ is to follow the Word of God, which, according to the Teacher, is truth (John 17.17). So, when we do God’s work in love, we are used to bless others and also our own lives. 

Let us understand the meaning of doing the work in love. The Bible teaches that to love God is to have his commandments and to keep them (John 14.21). Consequently, to follow the Truth in love is striving, with all our strength, to do everything that God has revealed to us through the Scriptures. In love means: to act in accordance with God’s commandments. This way, we will grow up in all things in Jesus. This is the only way we can please the Most High.

Without a doubt, this is the only way for us to grow up in all things in Jesus. And he who strives to grow up out of the Son of God will soon find out he has been deceived by Satan all along. There is growth into the King of kings only. Those who do not enter the Path will suffer eternal loss (John 3.18). That is also how so many bizarre doctrines arise, bringing more confusion than light. These lies cause a lot of harm to the lives of billions of people.

The declaration that it is necessary to grow up in Jesus is of utmost importance, because if anyone tries to grow up out of him, the result will be this person’s swelling up. And if anyone keeps making this mistake he will never have true fellowship with the Father, nor will he have access to his power. Those who are converted but follow religious groups that preach their own doctrines—not the Word of God—become twice as much children of unbelief or Hell than he who made them up.

Watch out for your future, brethren. If you grow up into deceit, you will never fully enjoy God’s presence. And the worst thing is that you will find yourself surrounded by deceitful spirits that whisper in the ears of those who are not standing firmly in the Truth. I would do anything not to have a demon in my life. What about you? Choose to lose anything rather than live under any evil influence. And understand: he who lives in God’s grace cannot be contaminated.

God has already given us his instructions. Therefore, we must dedicate more time to reading and meditating on his Word and assuming the revelations that are given to us. The Lord knows why we need to grow up in him, and if we do not do that, we will never know the riches we have in Christ. We conclude, therefore, that those who never grow in faith will never be successful (Hebrews 11.6).

In Christ, with love,

Just and true God, today I would like to ask you something of utmost importance: help all those who are reading this message to follow the Truth in love. I would like to give myself completely to you, to get to know you better, for I would be happier.

We know what it is that you have established as a goal to those who are saved; therefore, we unite ourselves in prayer so that all of us grow up in all things in Jesus. The truth is that without truly knowing you, we will never reach the stature of your Son, nor will we become fulfilled in you.

Your work must not be interrupted. On the contrary, your servants must strive to carry it out, following you in love, Lord. They will, therefore, grow up until your Body is mature and prepared to do the best for all of us. He who grows up in Jesus pleases you.
