Come Alive!

John 14:15. If you love me, show it by doing what I’ve told you. I will talk to the Father, and he’ll provide you another Friend so that you will always have someone with you. This Friend is the Spirit of Truth….

John 14:18 I will not leave you orphaned. I’m coming back. In just a little while the world will no longer see me, but you’re going to see me because I am alive and you’re about to come alive. At that moment you will know absolutely that I’m in my Father, and you’re in me, and I’m in you.

I am confident the only way to show Love, the Love that Our Heavenly Father has for us and Jesus refers to in verse 14, is to be alive with His Spirit… Our Helper. The Spirit of Truth. Our human reasoning will always sell love short or make concessions or solve the problem based on what we think would be best… and the obvious problem with that would be relative truth. Each of us finding and defining our own idea of what is ‘good’ and what needs to be done. God’s goodness, made flesh in Jesus, is steadfastly reliant on One and only One Truth. The Father’s. Because He knew Him. In John 14:10, Jesus states, “Don’t you believe that I am in the the Father is in me?” He came from the Father, He knew the Father, and He loved the Father. 

And soon, with the help of the Holy Spirit, we will come alive, just like Jesus… We will know the Father. Knowing the Father is Life! John 17:3 And this is the real and eternal life: that they know You.

We will be in Him as we were intended to be from the beginning. We will be at home in Who we came from.

Walk with me through this: 

Science proves that energy can be neither be created or destroyed – meaning that all the energy that exists had to come from somewhere. Where did it come from? Evolution doesn’t even attempt to answer this question. Even with the big bang theory, the origination of the energy is yet unexplained. Also, creation cries out with intelligent design at every corner, giving yet more evidence towards Our Creator. Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Given the evidence, we came from God… all the energy that makes us including our very breath. Genesis 1:7 God formed Man out of dirt from the ground and blew into his nostrils the breath of life. The Man came alive – a living soul! So if our very existence comes from Our Father, it would only make sense that we are to ‘make our home in Him’. To be completely His. In perfect Oneness with Him… is to be Alive.
