But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. (Romans 8:9)

Jesus tells us in John 10:10—The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. Christians need to latch onto His words and the true meaning of His statement. He wants to give us peace and joy that extends from His promise and experience it fully. Most Christians understand the concept on “paper” but in reality don’t live the promises of Christ. When we attach and align ourselves with Christ—comfort, peace, security and joy overflows.

When the Holy Spirit—also known as the Spirit of Christ—came to live with us He was offering us His continual presence and salvation. The Spirit comes to manifest the presence of Christ, if we accept Him. We develop a relationship with Him that grows in depth on every level and every aspect concerning our lives.

When we let Jesus work through us, and let Him in and become dependent on Him, we will begin to live a purposeful life according to His will. His works will begin to assimilate into our daily life, and the temporal findings of routines become visual tangible promises of our ultimate goal, His kingdom, and eternity.

The more pronounced our belief and submission to Christ, the more likely we are to understand the concept and apply it into practice by being “pro-active” Christians.

“Lord Help your children embrace the Spirit within and go forth for Your glory, in Jesus name. Amen.”
