Fusion between Jesus and a human being!

Jesus and a human being are diametrically opposed to one another. They do share some similarities. A human being is created in the image of God, they both have a unique personality and a range of emotions but the similarity stops there.

God is perfect and without sin. He has no ego. He is a God of unconditional love and his goal is to draw all humans to Himself. God controls the universe. He is all powerful and nothing is impossible for Him.

A human being is born with a desire to live for self and defy the ways of God. He is ego driven and cares about self preservation and attaining the things of the world.

How does the fusion happen between these two opposite parties?

God is at work before birth takes place to claim an unbeliever for Himself. 

God is unconditional love and works through family, friends and the Body of Christ to convince the unbeliever to accept Jesus.

God asks families and friends to pray for the unbeliever to ask for the gift of salvation.

God engineers calamities and adversity to cause an unbeliever to hit “rock bottom” and see the futility of living without God.

Fusion starts when a man reaches out to Jesus!

The unbeliever makes a decision for Jesus and the fusion is started between the two parties. The unbeliever is born again with a new identity through the Spirit and Water. He is baptized by the Holy Spirit and fire into the death and resurrection of Jesus.

God seals the new believer with the Holy Spirit. He is the life of Christ and immediately begins to transform the believer into the character of Jesus.

God desires to develop a symbiotic and personal relationship with the new convert. Jesus asks the believer to walk by faith and draw near to Him. The believer now faces two choices. He can sell out completely for Jesus and let go of the ties to the world. Or, he can pursue a lukewarm relationship with Jesus and never experience the  reality of the Living Christ. Jesus will merely be a figurehead.

The ultimate fusion comes to a Christ follower who lives for Jesus under the authority of the Holy Spirit. He is focused on zealously seeking the will of God for His life above all else. 

He walks in oneness with the Living Christ, hears His voice and is obedient to the instructions of Jesus. 

For in Jesus, we live and move and have our being!
