The Intimacy of Jesus’ Love 2 (God’s Love Language 10)
“Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.” John 14:23
God made us to have a relationship with us. God didn’t create us because He wants someone to control. He made us, for Him to have a FAMILY.
This is why God didn’t make us to be robots. He gave us a mind so we can have the ability to think, a will to have the power to make choices, and emotions to have the ability to be affectionate. By this, man can make the choice to be dependent or independent of God.
God’s original design and intention, His relationship with man was to be governed by His love-life.
God is Spirit (John 4:24), therefore, He gave man spirit (Zechariah 12:1), so that man can connect and can have deep relationship with Him.
Beloved, God’s relationship with you is not just an outward show.
Your deepest relationship with God begins from your inner man.
Therefore, God’s goal of intimacy begins with working Himself into your heart. God’s love affair with you, begins with having a mingled life with you.
God’s deepest expression of love doesn’t work in isolation. God’s deepest expression of love works by indwelling you.
This why He sent the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is God being processed into us.
God, as big as He is, could not indwell us, until He was processed into us through His Spirit.
See Titus 3:5 (The Passion Translation)
“When the extraordinary compassion of God our Savior and his overpowering love suddenly appeared in person, as the brightness of a dawning day, He came to save us.
Not because of any virtuous deed that we have done, but only because of his extravagant mercy.
He saved us, resurrecting us through the washing of rebirth.
We are made completely new by the Holy Spirit”
This briefly explains how God worked Himself into us.
By Christ’s death we were cleansed, justified and made Holy. Now the Holy Spirit indwelt us to bring us into the newness of life, where we are now able to relate with God in a deeper way.
Jesus is the embodiment or the appearance and experience of the extraordinary compassion of God our Savior and his overpowering love.
Your believe and delight in the Lord Jesus is a response of your love to Him. This response of love to Jesus made you become the gravitational focus for the indwelling of God.
And the more you continue in delighting in the Lord, the richer your relationship with Him becomes as He now dwells in your heart through the Spirit.
Let this mind be in you, from the day you believed and received Jesus, you became the dwelling place of the Father through the Holy Spirit.
When you received the Holy Spirit, God came to make His home in you.
Make the most of this intimate relationship by continuously keeping His Word or delighting in the Lord Jesus.
“Those who truly love me are those who obey my commands. Whoever passionately loves me will be passionately loved by my Father. And I will passionately love you in return and will manifest my life within you.”
John 14:21 (TPT)
DIG DEEPER
(Zechariah 12:1; Hebrews 12:9; Ecclesiates 12:7; 2 Corinthians 13:14; Acts 2:38; Acts 5:32)
