When you ask many christians what they received when they got born again, they can’t tell you. When you say you are born again, what does it mean? Did something change in you? What changed?
So brother John said,
“And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. ” -1 John 5:13.
That you may know that you have eternal life. It’s in the past tense. You already have this life. You’ve got ZOE in you. You have it. It’s yours. Eternal life is your life now. Your biological life from your father was supplanted/replaced by the divine life. This is your reality. Do you see how glorious you are?
How did this happen? When you believed and received Christ into your heart, you were organically infused into Christ (the vine) by the Holy Spirit. Now, you have become a branch of the vine with the same vine life flowing through your system. A branch of a mango tree does not have a different life from that of the tree itself. The same LIFE OF GOD that was in Jesus Christ is now in you. It’s called ZOE – Eternal life.
You bear the fruits of Jesus now. You, the Father, and the son are UNITED by this common life: ZOE. Today, decide to walk in the consciousness that you are the precious branch of the vine. Wherever Jesus wants to be on earth, you will represent Him there. YOU HAVE THE LIFE OF GOD IN YOU. Hallelujah!
It’s pure beauty when Jesus speaks. He tickles me every time. Listen to Him:
“And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me” – John 17:22-23
Wow. He’s talking about you and me and the rest of our brethren – the church. Through the Holy Spirit, the father and the son have taken their abode in us. I AM UNITED WITH DEITY.
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, AND WE WILL COME UNTO HIM, AND MAKE OUR ABODE WITH HIM. – John 14:23
Does it get any better than that? God the father, Jesus the son, and me; joined together in an INSEPARABLE UNION. This is too much for the heart to grasp. Thank you Precious Jesus for your love and what you did for us.
Many years ago, Jesus stood and declared that “I and my Father are one.” – John 10:30-32.
Then the Jews took up stones to stone him.
By identification with Jesus, I can also boldly say, “I AND THE FATHER ARE ONE”. The religious people today, will say I am blaspheming. How can you being a man equate yourself to God? That’s the same thing they said to Jesus. But you know, “We are not men”. The introduction of Christ into our hearts made us into a different creation. We received ‘GODNESS’ into us. I AM ONE WITH THE FATHER THROUGH THE SPIRIT. Glooooory! Do you see how glorious He has made us? Let this mind be in you so heavily. Carry it everywhere you go. WE AND GOD ARE IN AN INSEPARABLE UNION BY HIS LIFE AND BY HIS SPIRIT. Praise God forevermore.
