OUR LORD WHO INDWELLS US

The most astonishing part of the mechanics of salvation is that it involves the indwelling of the Most High God in us.

The Lord our God purposed to save people from our sins and He paid for our sins by dying on a cross in our place.

Our God then ascended to heaven where He was crowned as King of kings and Lord of lords.

He then sent His Holy Spirit to live in our newly reborn spirits that are made alive when we cross from death to life by the salvation that we gain through belief in Jesus and His power to save us.

Our spirits are entwined and  mingled with the Spirit of God inside of us and the life of God animates us as we subject ourselves to Him.

The Salvation of God gives us the unimaginable privilege of having the Holy Spirit of God being with us forever. As it says in John14 verse 15 - 17:

“If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him.

You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you. - John 14 verse 15 -17.

This is the same Spirit of God who hovered over the surface of the waters at the very start of creation. 

That passage goes like this:

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 

The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. - Genesis 1 verse 1 - 2.

The mind-warping actions that the Spirit of God was accomplishing to bring creation into being at that time are beyond human comprehension, but He, in all that power and might, is also the one who gently and patiently guides us in the path of rightness with God. He also brings us utterance of unknown tongues and with grace and tenderness, bring healing to demonstrate the authority and excellence of Jesus.

Bless the God of our salvation for His plan of redemption that vastly exceeds our ability to imagine.

Amen.
