16 that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; - Ephesians 3:16-18.
The inner man: Christ dwells in your heart by faith. He became the only life of the believer the moment they believed and we don't know it. How does my faith work: believe what is written!
It is not going to be my faith that keeps Jesus Christ in the heart - he is there and I need to believe he is there in my heart as scripture says.. being who he is - life. My life - my only life, the only life any believer has. You have no other life - granted it is designed for the twain to be one. So you have two.. that have become one.. and one in life and living, and expression. Christianity is one of the most easily followed religions (for lack of better words) in the world.. when you understand it. Without the understanding of Christianity all you have is another religion (men trying to do something on their own) to please God. Look at some religions, you have all kinds of requirements and rituals to follow and be inducted into it.
Not Christianity - you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and can become a Christian the moment you believe. Now with that will come some required growth to understand what it means to be a Christian, and until we understand what that means, we stay under what scripture describes as Tutors and Governors (circumstances and situations), which are our teachers in the Father's schoolhouse! You have a father now who knows how to be a father to you, so you will want to learn.
2 but is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. - Galatians 4:2.
It is one of the hardest things a person can endure - being a Christian without understanding what a Christian is. They will be 'among men most miserable.' It is not a good life..it is foreign to who you are. If Christ is in you as your only life - the father is going to want you to know something about that - especially since it is everything Christianity is. We are not going to just simply glean over that subject and the father take us on to a new subject - things may ease up in and around us but the father's main focus is you seeing Christ in you as your life.
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. - 1 Corinthians 15:19.
That is the push of scripture - scripture is pushing toward our understanding of Christ as life today more than any other time I have looked at scripture and listened to what others are saying. Men and women all over the world are letting it be known that Christ is the life of the believer. The only way for a believer to know what that means is to start saying it..it has to happen to you before you know what it means. Preachers can preach until eye balls fall out but it must be you that hears the Spirit of the message and what the Spirit is saying to the church! Let me say it this way; it usually comes through someone that may not be in the ministry those that have no distractions those that sit and listen those that look and read and study and pray and give themselves the time to hear from the Spirit. Point is it is not always our preachers that a message comes through.
Man has had his day - this is the day of the Lord. It is the Lord that opens and closes hearts - it is the Lord that keeps the pressure on, that we come to hear what it is the Spirit would say to the church. The end will come and it will come just like it is prophesied - that is written. There is written in scripture life that has to be seen..a life that is apprehended..a comprehended life beyond any life.. it is the life of God - Christ in you the hope of glory!
