Aligning My Life To God's Word... The Command to Obey God's Word/ Rashea@LLO2 Academy
Jesus said to His disciples, "I will be with you always, even until the ends of the earth." Jesus is with God the Father in heaven, yet He is present here with us. Jesus is in heaven, yet He is here on the earth.
Jesus is with God the Father in heaven, yet He is here in the earth present in the life of Christian's (John 14:16-27). Jesus is in heaven, yet He is omnipresent everywhere. Jesus is present, but how?
Jesus is present in the life of every Christian. Jesus is present in the spirit of every Christian. Jesus resides here with us in the earth realm through heavenly dimensions.
Jesus ascended, yet He has descended according to John 14:20-21. Jesus once again demonstrates the existence of God in 3 persons in John 14:16, 17, 20 & 21 as He did in Genesis 1:26. "The mysteries of God are God's, but the revelation of God is for mankind (the born again believer)."
In Genesis 1:26, 2:7, And God (in triune being) said, "Let US make mankind in our image according to your likeness... and breathe life into them." In John 14:16, 17, 20 & 21, God said, "Let US dwell within mankind and bring life from us into them."ππ Amen.
So, we can conclude that the presence of God in triune being is life and peace in the Holy Spirit. In both instances in Genesis 1:26 & 2:7 and John 14:16, 17, 20 & 21, the Holy Spirit is Life and Peace.π When Jesus saves us and instructs us to align our lives to the Word of God, He brings us into a life of peace through the Holy Spirit.
Adam and Eve were created with Life eternal through the Holy Spirit. In John 14:16-27, Christian's are recreated and born again into eternal life & peace through the Holy Spirit. God's Spirit who is life eternal preserves human life. Moreover, God's Spirit who is life preserves Christian's with eternal peace.
But wait. This life in Genesis 2:7 is twofold. There is the existence of life oxygen. Then there is the existence of ruach life which is life eternal. Although mankind exist breathing in oxygen, without receiving Jesus as their Lord and Savior and living to honor Jesus, they lack life eternal.
Remember in Genesis 3, the punishment of sin was death and eternal death. Before the fall, mankind was to exist eternally, but after the fall they would live temporarily on earth only to transition into a state of eternal death. Jesus came to restore mankind's eternal state of being (eternal life by grace through faith in Jesus).
When we align our lives to God's Word, obeying the Scriptures we return back to the first order of existence. Life (oxygen) and ruach life leternal life). In other words, God said let us give mankind life and life eternal through the preservation of the Holy Spirit.
As we obey God's Word, the Holy Spirit preserves us. As we obey God's Word, the Holy Spirit preserves us with life and peace through God. As we obey God's Word and receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we retrieve our dominion over the earth and over the devil both male and female who are both created in the image of God according to His likeness (Luke 10:19).
