Embracing the Profound Relationship with the Invisible God

Embracing the Profound Relationship with the Invisible God

February 22

In the journey of faith, there is a profound scripture that encapsulates the essence of our walk with Christ. It emphasizes that the manner in which we receive Christ parallels the manner in which we navigate our physical existence. This profound truth underscores the power of faith and imagination in our spiritual journey. Through unseen faith we believe that Jesus came into our very souls when we received Him as Lord and Savior. The act of inviting Christ into our lives, though seemingly intangible, holds immense significance. It's a dialogue between the soul and God who we intuited into our lives, transcending physical senses. When we call forth things that are not as though they were, we echo the faith of Abraham, engaging with the divine without the constraints of physical perception.

Scripture invites us to "taste and see that the Lord is good" (Psalm 34:8), drawing parallels between spiritual nourishment and physical sustenance. Through rituals like the Lord's Supper, we symbolically partake of Christ's body and blood, experiencing the depth of his provision and sustenance. Central to this profound relationship is the triune nature of God: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Though unseen, their presence permeates our lives, guiding us through the changes of existence. The Holy Spirit, received through faith, facilitates communion with the divine, manifesting in gifts like speaking in tongues—a conduit for wisdom, healing, and miracles (Acts 2:4).

The Word of God, incarnate in Jesus Christ, transcends mere text, embodying divine wisdom and life. Through scripture, we encounter Christ personally, igniting faith and understanding. His words, described as spirit and life, resonate within, shaping our perspective and empowering declarations of healing and deliverance (John 6:63). Intimacy with God extends beyond audible dialogue; it's a communion of souls, where the still, small voice resonates within. This inner knowing, rooted in the depths of the spirit, confirms our identity as temples of the Holy Spirit—a profound realization that transforms our perception of self and God (1 Corinthians 6:19).

Empowered by faith, we inherit the promises of scripture, transcending earthly limitations. Seated in heavenly places with Christ, we wield authority over adversity, echoing his triumph over darkness. Our earthly existence can mirror the divine will, as we embody the union of heaven and earth, conduits of God's transformative power (Ephesians 2:6). Even in the depths of despair, God's presence remains steadfast, offering not just solace but deliverance. Like King David, we find assurance that God is with us, even in the darkest of circumstances, guiding us towards restoration and victory (Psalm 139:8).

In embracing this profound relationship, we embody dual citizenship—residents of both the physical and spiritual realms. Our lives become testimonies to the transformative power of faith, echoing the eternal truth that in Christ, we are more than conquerors (Romans 8:37). As we navigate the complexities of physical existence, may we continually draw upon this profound relationship, finding solace, strength, and purpose in communion with God. For in embracing God within us, we unlock the boundless potential of a life rooted in faith.
