“Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me” (John 5:39).
The Christian life is not merely about worshipping or learning the Bible as a storybook. It is a life given to us to live, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week; it’s a divine life. It is the very life and nature of God imparted into the human spirit.
Many go through life without ever encountering the fundamental truths in the Word of God of what Christianity is and who the Christian really is. That’s because they don’t study their Bibles. Yet, Jesus commanded us to search the Scriptures.
He wouldn’t have instructed us to study and search the Scriptures if there weren’t valuable treasures for us to discover. Paul also exhorted us to study, not just read the Word, for there are depths of revelation that can’t be accessed without study. In studying the Scriptures you’d discover that as Christians, we have a real and living relationship with God. That’s no religion!
All our outward actions, such as praying, giving offerings, studying the Bible and gathering in fellowships are not what define Christianity. True Christianity is the actual relationship with God, where one is born of Him, receiving His divine nature. This is a definite experience that occurs at a particular moment in time.
One cannot be uncertain about when it happened, for it’s a conscious and transformative encounter with the living God, without which all the outward actions are empty. But when you're in this vital relationship with the Lord, each act of worship and devotion releases tremendous power and holds eternal significance.
THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF YOUR DIVINE ESSENCE
“Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that
is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4).
Many don’t understand the Spirit’s language in the verse above when it says, “Ye are of God…”; it means you hail from God; you’re born of
Him. This is what makes the Christian a divine being, and not a mere human person. Hallelujah!
This is where some have missed it; their lack of consciousness of who they really are in Christ. The Apostle John, addressing this, said in 1 John 5:13, “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life….” God wants you to have the conscious, active knowledge that His life is in you. You’re a divine life-carrier; a God-conveyor.
Referring to the Lord Jesus, the Bible says “…in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him…” (Colossians 2:9-10). Notice the expression, “And ye are complete in Him….” This means all of divinity resides in you as it does Jesus. No wonder Peter calls us “Associates of the God-kind”; partakers of the divine nature (2 Peter 1:4).
CONCLUSION
You’re filled or replete with God. That’s what it means to be “complete in Him”; nothing else needs to be in you to make you divine. This is why sickness, disease, and infirmity can’t be a part of your life. If you’d meditate on the God-life in you, you’d never be sick another day of your life.
You were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God (John 1:13). The same life that makes it impossible for God to get sick, be defeated or have anything “happen” to Him is what you have in you. Your consciousness of this reality will make you eternally triumphant and walk-in dominion every day of your life. Glory to God!
