<p>6:24 <i>Grace be with all those that love our Lord Jesus Christ with undying love</i>- &quot;Grace&quot; often refers to the gift of the Spirit, the power of new life within the heart of the believer. Paul has just wished them peace, love and faith- all results or fruits of the Spirit. Paul wishes them this gift and the spiritual growth which will come from it. &quot;Undying love&quot; is a fair effort to translate a difficult phrase, but the same word is elsewhere translated &quot;immortality&quot; and &quot;incorruption&quot;. The love we now have for the Lord Jesus is an eternal love- in that, as John's Gospel expresses it, we can live the life we shall eternally live right now. The love we have for the Lord now is the love we shall eternally have. This highlights the profound and eternal importance of who we are now; our love for Him now is an attribute we shall eternally display, indeed we could say that the type of love we now have for Him, the relationship we have with Him now, is what we shall eternally enjoy. And that is going to be unique, slightly different, for each of us.&nbsp;</p>
