Getting to know God ... personally! |
God created us for fellowship and relationship ...
He showed that to Adam in the Garden of Eden ...
... and He confirmed it to us, saying ...
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?
for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said,
I will dwell in them, and walk in them;
and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
--- 2 Cor. 6:16
God even gave us His Holy Spirit to be our personal helper ...
But ...
... how do you really get to know God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit personally?
Firstly ...
... it's important to realize that the real you is not the flesh you see ...
But ... it is the inner man, your spirit man ...
... the spirit life that God breathed into "you" in the Garden of Eden!
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground and
breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
--- Gen. 2:7
And therefore when God reveals Himself to us ...
... it will not be in the physical, but in the spirit ...
That is why God gave us the Holy Spirit, so He can reveal Himself to us!
... and ...
... as you start communing with the Holy Spirit ...
... talking to Him and listening to Him ...
the reality of God and the Spirit world ...
... of who God really is ... will become more real to you!
As Jesus also said to us ...
Abide in me, and I in you ... for without me ye can do nothing.
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you,
ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
--- John 15:4-10
But Lord ... I need some tangible proof of our relationship!
... and surely the fruit of our relatiosnhip should also be tangible!
Sure ... and God knows that as well ....
... therefore He says to us ...
If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar:
for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen,
how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
--- 1 John 4:20
As you reach out to others, in love, in giving to them ...
God says, then you are doing it as to Him ...
... then you are loving and giving to Him ...
... then you are living out your relationship with Him ...
... in the physical ... and in the spirit!
