Merging your life with Christ!

“That they may be one just as We are one” John 17:22

There is a big difference between making a decision to accept Jesus and merging your life with Him. It is choosing to enter through the narrow gate which leads to the life of Christ.

The miracle of salvation happens when you agree to live for Christ. This is a life changing moment. You become a new creature in Christ Jesus filled with the Holy Spirit. Your life changes from living for self to living for God. Old things pass away and all things become new.

God changes your thinking patterns and values in life. You see life through the eyes of Christ. The life of a disciple is about change. Every day is different as you understand the knowledge of God and grow in spiritual discernment with Jesus.

What role do you play in merging your life with Jesus? The calling from God is to live by faith in Christ. Your security is in Christ and never in the things of the world. Living by faith is trusting in the promises of God. They become your breath of life and are expressed in your thoughts, words and actions in all the aspects of life.

The disciple of Christ finds the efficacy (fullness) of life in God and self sufficiency fades away. This life changing epiphany is recognizing the greatness and glory of God and the insignificance of self.

You come into oneness with the Living Christ through opening your heart up to Him. All God is asking for is a willing heart! He will do the work of merging you into His personality.

God is a Spirit. You and I have to learn to worship Him through His Word and His Spirit. This is the key to discovering the transfigured life of Christ Jesus.

Jesus lives in you in the essence of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit takes what belongs to Christ and literally shares His life with you.

Jesus calls you to live by faith not by what you see with your eyes. You judge God by His Word and never by your experiences or emotions. The circumstances of life will have ups and downs but God never changes.

You will nourish your faith through prayer, dwelling in the Word, and listening for the voice of God.

Without faith you cannot please God!
