WHAT JESUS IS FOR US...

Isaiah 1:18: Come now, let’s settle this, says the LORD. Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, I will make them as white as wool. NLT

This truth, and all that God wants us to know, is revealed to us in His Word, though salvation in Jesus, and by what the Holy Spirit reveals to us in our spirit. This is for the believer’s benefit and blessing. Hebrews 1:3 tells us what Jesus is for us.

Hebrews 1:3: And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power when He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high…

 God’s never-ending, infinite knowledge was not passed on to us. However, He did leave us His Word and gives us vast wisdom, reasoning, memory, and intelligence, but it will never be equal to God’s. If we desire to have these attributes to a greater degree, we can ask the Holy Spirit to reveal more truth and wisdom to us. Even if we don’t ask, but regularly get into God’s Word to receive enlightenment, instead of reading it as a requirement, then we’ll glean more godly wisdom as a result. 

God delights when we ask for His good gifts. When we ask Him to fill us with His presence and power, He gives us the dominion that’s promised to those who love and serve Him. Of course, if we remain carnal and neglect our spiritual inheritance, then we remain weak and ineffective in our Christian walk and talk.  

 James 1:5: If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

 What God wants us to know is written in His Word to us. We grow stronger and wiser by staying in it. The Holy Spirit living in us, witnesses to our spirit that God’s nature is one of love and truth. When we remain in Him, we have everything we need in this life and life ever after.

 WE ARE HEIRS WITH CHRIST

 Romans 8:15-17: For you did not receive a spirit of slavery that returns you to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. And if we are children, then we are heirs: heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ—if indeed we suffer with Him, so that we may also be glorified with Him.”

 Everywhere we see wonders that are beyond our human understanding. So, we should not be surprised to find that in the spiritual world, there are mysteries that we can’t understand. Our difficulty lies solely in the weakness and limitations of our human mind, for God has given us enough evidence in Scripture of the Trinity’s Divine character. Therefore, we’re not to doubt God’s Word just because we can’t understand all the mysteries of His being.

 The Apostle Peter says in 2 Peter 3:16: …as he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters. There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures. ESV
