God Gives Us The Holy Spirit!

One of the greatest privileges we have been given in the gospel is that when we believe in our Lord Jesus Christ, He gives to us what the Father promised - God, the Holy Spirit. 

What a blessed gift. That our earthen vessels can contain this beautiful treasure - we being filled with God and clothed with His power. 

It is a promise we should never let go of. A promise we should long for always. God is faithful. He is gracious. If earthly fathers know how to give good gifts to their children, will our Heavenly Father hold back the Holy Spirit when we ask Him?

Believe in Christ Jesus!

When we put our complete faith, our life's choices and all our decisions into the hands of Jesus Christ we can be assured that we are resting in the perfect will of God; we can be certain of our hope to eternal life; fully assured that on the last day we shall be raised to heaven.

Believe even when you don't see

Unbelief and Disobedience Leads to God's Wrath

Proud, self-centered and fallen as man is, he seldom can see that he owes his existence to his Maker, the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

By unbelief and disobedience we reject Him and His purpose. It amounts to telling our Creator, from whom we have breath and by whom we are sustained, "I don't need you."

While God in His infinite mercy and patience permits this choice we make, as long as we are on earth, His sovereign nature that has authority over all creation will not permit it on the Day of Judgement when each will be recompensed according to what he has done. 

At judgement, our unbelief and disobedience which is tantamount to rejection of God, His purpose and His love invites His wrath.

Believe in God and in His Son, Jesus Christ whom He sent for our salvation. He promises us eternal life and every blessing in the heavenly places. The Holy Spirit is ever present to help, strengthen and guide us.  

Now or Later? Choose

Believing in Christ Jesus, His work on the cross and the cleansing power of His blood frees us from sin and makes us righteous.

We then have each day of our life on earth to judge ourselves in the light of God's Word, making choices that please Him; choices that will keep us righteous and holy.

He is with us to help. His grace is sufficient for us.

So let us judge ourselves on this earth. On the day of judgement when every one will give an account for what he has done, we will not be judged.

God - The Longing of the Soul!

“Deep calls to deep,” wrote the Psalmist in reference to the great longing of the soul for Him who alone fills all in all. ​​Continuing in the same vein, Tozer writes, “In the warm language of personal feeling this is stated in the Forty-second Psalm: ‘As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?’ ” There is nothing in the whole wide world that can satisfy this God-filled vacuum save the fullness of God who designed it for such a purpose.

We may have the most flourishing ministry in the kingdom of God, but if our soul is not filled with the fullness of Him whom we serve, we come short of the most beautiful blessing that we have in Christ Jesus in the New Covenant. We may have the most successful career and all the wealth and respect we can dream of but if that God-shaped vacuum is not filled with the fullness of Him who occupies the heavens and the earth with His omnipresence, it profits us nothing.

Dr. A. B. Simpson described this fullness with an illustration which is as good as any we may hear. He said, “Being filled with the fullness of God is like a bottle in the ocean. You take the cork out of the bottle and sink it in the ocean, and you have the bottle completely full of ocean. The bottle is in the ocean, and the ocean is in the bottle. The ocean contains the bottle, but the bottle contains only a little bit of the ocean. So it is with the Christian.”

This fullness is the purpose of our existence; the end to all our striving. It is the culmination of all righteousness. It is the peak of all faithfulness. It is the result of all love and kindness. It is the reason for all of our praise and worship.

Let us move further from the shore than we’ve ever done before. Let us make it the one thing that we ever want or need. Let us knock and ask and cry out. The One on the other side of that door answers. He is attentive to the cry of the righteous. Let Him come crashing over us. It is the best place we would ever want to be.

I revisited a video that I had watched several years ago; one in which Louie Giglio beautifully reveals our indescribable God. You may have watched it already but it is one worth watching again. The link is below:

To this indescribable God, magnificent and full of glory; to Him who has loved us with an everlasting love that did not hold back anything from us; to Him who is more than willing to fill our being with His manifest presence; indulging with us blessed fellowship and revealing to us the knowledge of His glory; to Him be glory and honour and praise now and always.
