(1 John 4:15)

Deficient Understanding

Dear One,

Any deficient understanding you may have never came from Scripture.  Paul refers to the miraculous unity of God living in you 216 times. John mentions Jesus in you 26 times!  The New Testament speaks of Jesus in you, of you, 129 times!  Jesus is always described as The Christ Who not only woos you to Himself but makes you “One” into Himself.

Remember — “Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides (lives) in him, and he lives in God” (1 John 4:15 (my emphasis).  Yes Beloved — this means you — His Beloved Royal Holy CHAMPION child!

No other religion — philosophy — theology can make such an extravagant claim. None other claims their living presence in their followers.  Bag-wan-ranish, Muhammad never lives in Muslims.  Buddha never inhabits Buddhists.  Do they Influence? Instruct?  Entice?  Yes!  Occupy?  Never!

Christians embrace, hold fast to God’s  miraculous undeniable Promises.  God said — “The mystery in a nutshell is just this: Christ is in you” (Colossians 1:27 MSG).  Yes!  YOU are the very Christian person in whom Christ is alive, living — happening.

Beloved — YOU — are Jesus Christ’s!  YOU — belong to Him.  YOU — are increasingly HIM.  He lives in — moves in — commands Himself through YOU — through your hands, your feet — your touch!  He requires YOU — your mind, your tongue.

Romans 8:29 says this way — “HE decided from the outset to shape the lives of those who love Him along the same lines as the life of His Son JESUS.”  All Glory to God!  JESUS said — “As I AM, so are you in this world” (1 John 4:17).  YES!  TASTE — SEE — HE IS GOOD!  Deficient understanding — gone!
