You Have God’s Spirit in You
You not only have a new Father, but also a new family of brothers and sisters (Luke 8:21). You are now part of the people of God (1 Peter 2:9). And together the life you now live is by faith in God’s Son (Galatians 2:20).
Look to Jesus. Keep your eyes on him. He is the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). Christ is in you by God’s Spirit, and you are in Christ (John 15:5; Colossians 1:27). Stay close to Jesus. Abide in him (John 15:4). For your life is found in him (John 14:6; Colossians 3:3–4). As Paul said, “To live is Christ, and to die is gain.” (Philippians 1:21)
Don’t live by your own power or understanding. No, live by God’s Spirit within you (Zechariah 4:6; Proverbs 3:5). Remember, He has given you the Holy Spirit to be with you and in you (Romans 5:5; John 14:17). The Spirit will guide you into all truth, help you to obey the Lord, and empower you to do His work (John 16:7, 13; Acts 1:8; Galatians 5:16).
Until next time, walk with the King & be a blessing.
In His Name & for His Glory,
