Dear God: Dwell Within~

Acts 17:24 NKJV “God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands.

While listening to a Christian radio broadcast the announcer was speaking about the true church of Jesus Christ.

 
There were two other guests. I won’t get into what denominations, but they were all diverse.  And while listening to the broadcast, there was one thing that these different personalities all agreed upon…it was the true Church of Jesus Christ which is within all of us.
 
There shouldn’t be lines in the sand creating  a division of love for Christ.  We are all united in Jesus. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is what unites us all.  Eventually all knees will bow and all tongues will profess that He is Lord.
 
He dwells in the believer.  He lives within.  He is Our Church…and in the end we will all agree. There no longer will be denominations, or religions.  Religion is a word that Christ Himself would’t approve of. Remember the religious Sadducees and Pharisees? Religion was their primary focus losing sight of the REAL reasons behind the Words of God.
 
Denomination the word itself carries the meaning of a dividing of the whole. In theological terms it means a dividing of the Body of Christ. And listening to the three guests on the Christian program suggests a “dividing” due to their individual beliefs. 
 
God sent His son to dwell among us.  The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. He  came to heal, to teach, to love…and to defeat death so whoever should believe will live forever. And, He is in us today in the form of the Holy Spirit our Helper, that God sent for us.  That Spirit is in us.  The one belief system…the one and only God.  Our Faith will be united and there will be no religion and no more denominations.
 
God is a God for all people.  He is our One Living God.  The True God.  And when He returns, what a glorious time it will be.  Until then…Enjoy Him as He dwells within.
 
 
 
 
 
 3 concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead. Through Him we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for His name, among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ…Romans 1:3-6 (NKJV)
 
For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of His Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers, 10 making request if, by some means, now at last I may find a way in the will of God to come to you. 11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, so that you may be established— 12 that is, that I may be encouraged together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me. Romans 1:9-12 (NKJV)
 
 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ,[a] for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.” Romans 1:16-17 (NKJV)
