BY BEING BORN-AGAIN, WE HAVE BECOME ONE SPIRIT WITH JESUS
But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him. – 1 Corinthians 6:17
Once we were born-again, our spirit was transformed by the union with the Holy Spirit. In our spirits, we are united with Jesus. In our spirits, we are perfect as the Holy Spirit.
Because we are one in the Spirit with the Lord, it means that we desire what He desires, we seek holiness and righteousness, we want to glorify Him by all we do and become more (and more) like Him. In our born-again spirits, we have the fruit of the Holy Spirit.
As we love Him more and grow in the knowledge of His Word, the attributes of the Holy Spirit become more and more our attributes, replacing the attributes of the carnal nature. This is the purpose of our lives on earth: to become more and more like our Lord, do His works and help as many people as possible come to salvation, and in the end we will spend eternity in heaven.
SUGGESTED PRAYER
What a joy it is to know that in my spirit I am united with You, my Lord. I have all I need in You and am part of Your great family, the church, which is Your body as well. Thank You that through the Holy Spirit I became “flesh of Your flesh” and “bone of Your bones”. I want to walk with You step by step. Thank You for helping me overcome the challenges in this world. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
