Bible Snack #76

By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit (1 John 4:13).
 
Our God is a three part being: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Together, they create everything. Together they make all decisions. No one, or nothing, has the power they have to accomplish what they accomplish. They are three in one, which means they are inseparable, always united, always one. I suppose that man, along the way of the past centuries, thought that if he could create god, then things would be easier for him, because he determined what god would want. Whereas our God has set standards so high that no human being can achieve them or could have even devised them! Only God can achieve them through us.
 
God the Father is exactly that, a father. He is the final authority, but His authority comes from total love, unlike most human fathers. God the Son paid the price to redeem man from what he could not achieve without heavenly help. His blood paid for our sins, and restored us to a loving relationship with God our Father. He continues now as head of The Church. God the Holy Spirit is the essence of God. He works the works of God in us. Jesus said His Father and He would come and live inside of us, and that they do through the Holy Spirit.
 
When we know the Presence of the Holy Spirit inside of us, talking to us, counseling us, loving us, then we know we belong to God as His very own sons and daughters. And if you don’t know the Presence of the Holy Spirit, ask God to receive you as His child and make you brand new inside.
