Do you really know the experience when you come into the real understanding of being in a relationship with God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. For some they know, while others are wondering how all of this is possible. As you read let the words come off the pages and become alive within your heart, mind, soul, and spirit. Come on this journey with me.
A long time ago a man named Jesus was born to a virgin woman. The man named Jesus came to save the troubled world from their sins of unbelief and unrighteousness unto God. His main purpose was to set free the people that had been held captive to their sins. Restore people back into the right relationship with God.
Man over time brought religion into this world. Jesus Christ makes it about a personal relationship with God the father, himself and the Holy Spirit. How is this made possible. When Christ was crucified upon the cross he carried all our sins upon him. A man who knew no sin became sin for us, so we the people of the right can be restored back to God.
The world back then and the world today is in a broken state. The only way it can be fixed is through the power of God and his righteous people. Religion can’t fix it, only people who know and understand God’s wonderful power, who possess the knowledge and understanding of the things of God.
Let’s start from the point of Jesus living in the lives of the believers. The Holy Scriptures support this fact in many ways. Galatians 2:20
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Galatians 2:20 KJV
As believers in Jesus Christ know this. we have been crucified with Christ. Since we have been crucified with him. As you live in the flesh or in your body now Christ lives within your life also.
The takeover is the spirit of Christ, God and the holy spirit dwells within us. Today is the focus on Jesus Christ and other verses to support this.
John 14:20: Jesus and God are in each other therefore since that is the case who lives in Christ. Since Christ lives in us. Who lives in us other than Jesus Christ He also sent the Holy Spirit to dwell in us also.
JOHN 14:20-21 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
Romans 8:10—“Christ is in you”
“But if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, the spirit is life because of righteousness.
”Galatians 1:15-16—“His Son in me”
“But when it pleased God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and calleyd by His grace, to reveal His Son in me.”
Paul understood the meaning of Jesus was in him. He realized that when Christ is in us the body our nature and desire no longer is the craving forthis world, but is now the righteousness to God.
For me I have experienced the spiritual takeover. How was that made it possible? When I gave my life to Christ I surrendered my life to him. He has the right to my life. I am no longer controlled by the sin state of man. I mean sin doesn’t reign in my body like it used to. Christ has taken it all. I may fall and stumble at times but by asking for God’s forgiveness he will do it. One thing I have learned, it is all about knowledge and understanding the ways of God, the life of Jesus Christ and what the Holy Spirit can do in my life.
It’s time for everyone who is a believer in Jesus Christ to understand all of this. What has been spoken over the last few days is real,and a part of the believer’s life if they just look past religion and build a relationship with God.
Tomorrow a look at religion vs relationship in a different perspective. Stay tuned and be with us for truth and understanding of the scriptures.
