27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: - Colossians 1:27-28

No man can teach you Christ! You know how you find out he is in you and come to know him? "by revelation." Throughout scripture, it is the scriptures and the Holyspirit revealing Christ in you. It is refered to as the "mystery revealed" Romans 16:25, or "the revelation of Jesus Christ" Galatians 1:11-12. The scriptures are very pointed in our love for Christ. It shows love throughout all the the bible between the creator and the creation. Something happens with the creature and the creator that leads to a love relationship that only exists when two people that love each other.

Will he birth those that believe? Sure he does because of the finished work of the cross, but love will all ways be at the forefront of all the father says and does in your life. What does that mean? It means without love the believer will never come to know their father in a loving intimate relationship the father desires. Love is reciprocated between the a father and a son creating the same relationship the Son had with his Father from the beginning. It means the mystery comes to those that love their father, it means Christ is revealed in those that love him who birthed them, it is always based in love.

We are everything the father ever wanted, but to give him the only thing he ever wanted comes only by loving the father. What did Jesus do he walked in this world? What compelled him to literally sweat blood for humanity and die crucified on a cross? The love he had for his father, it didn't matter what the father's will was Jesus loved the father and did what his father wanted him to do because he loved his father.

You know how Christ will come out of you? By your mind. He will live through the believer, when the believer gives the Christ in them a mind he can use them to live by grace. He has no mind expression in this world without your mind, he has a mind but it is not expressed in this world without you. You see it is all a love issue, a mind thing, to love the father as he loved creation takes love and revelation.

No man can teach you Christ

Actually everyone of us was taught about Jesus by somebody. Even Saul was told about Jesus by the Christians he imprisoned and later met and talked with the apostles.

Today it is the same, God uses our febile efforts at evangelism to save people.

Nice thread.

Agree Yes, sadly we can not impart faith to any man, neither can we impart vision. ..I wish we could ...prayer is our greatest weapon.
Praise God for that.

We can but drop and drip seeds wherever we go...sometime the birds get them , but once in a while the little seed gets a wee root. :)
