Do not marvel that I said to you, “You must be born again.” Matthew 3:7
The word from God today is intrinsic which is defined as belonging to the essential nature or constitution of something. In the context of a believer this refers to belonging to God.
The intrinsic nature of God does not exist in you at birth. The gift of salvation comes to all those who make a decision to live for Jesus. You then belong to God and are born into His nature.
The Holy Spirit seals you with the life of Christ. He is the intrinsic nature of God. Jesus lives in your mind, soul, and personality.
The desire of the Holy Spirit is to transform you into the character of God.
This cannot happen unless you are totally devoted to God and seeking His will for your life.
The intrinsic nature will remain at a static or dormant stage until you abandon yourself completely to God. And, religion will stifle the growth of God in a believer.
This is a decision to come into oneness with Jesus and seek His will for your life. This cannot be consummated by words, emotions, or works. You must come into a personal and embracing union with the Living Christ.
God wants you to be obedient to His voice regardless of the cost or sacrifice.
The purpose of the intrinsic quality is to allow the translucent light of God to pass through you touching others
The Living Christ wants to fill you with strength, wisdom, joy and protection and help you deal with the troubles of the world.
Salvation is not an escape from troubles, it brings more troubles.
The advantage of Christ is that He is on your side fighting for your needs and working to deliver you. He is advocating with God on your behalf.
Make your goal to know the Living Christ and walk in oneness with Him.
Jesus will give you a life you can never achieve on your own!
