Christ and You: Inseparable

By John

Be gutsy, try to lose Jesus. Tell Him that He is not needed, that He is not necessary. You will find that He is truly your father. No matter what you do He will always be there to help. He loves you more than you can imagine and no matter what He will always welcome you home. Most people say that you can leave Him. They do not follow it to the end. You can leave but not forever, you are His child.

Jacob and Esau

Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God saith Jesus is accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

—1 Corinthians 12:3

There are two kinds of people in the world—those that believe Jesus is Lord and those that do not accept that Jesus is anything special.

It is a binary world. There are zeros (nothing) and ones (everything). It is for Jesus to decide which is which.

Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is the spirit of the antichrist whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. (1 John 4:2,3)

When Jesus baptizes us with the Holy Ghost, we are then born again and realize that Jesus died for us. We immediately praise Him for His work on the cross.

Over time, we begin to look for something else that is needed. There is nothing else. It is finished.

Blessed are those you choose and bring near to live in your courts! We are filled with the good things of your house, of your holy temple.

It is God that chooses us, we have nothing to do with it.

What son chooses his father?

He circumcises our hearts and baptizes us with the Holy Spirit, which is being born again, cleansing us from all sin with His blood and washing us with His water.

Now we are His and His alone, you cannot lose your salvation.

Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, the same is He which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. (John 1:33)

I, John the Baptist, indeed baptized you with water unto repentance. but He that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire. (Matthew 3:11)

What is this fire?

For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. (Malachi 4:1)

This is not you! That is those that do not believe in Jesus. You do believe in Jesus and have been saved by the blood of Christ Jesus.

Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood. (Revelation 1:5)

Surely the Lord God does nothing unless He reveals His secret counsel to His servants the prophets. (Amos 3:7)

For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery—so that you will not be wise in your own estimation—that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. (Romans 11:25)

There are two kinds of Israelites—those that follow after Jacob (Isaac’s son) and those that follow after Esau (also Isaac’s son but threw away his birthright for a bowl of porridge).

Esau despised his birthright. This is the same as the Israelites despising their birthright. The Israelites were the first born but rejected Jesus. We who believe in Jesus supplanted the Israelites and married Jesus Christ.

If we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins (Hebrews 10:26).

Paul was writing to the Hebrews (Jews), and under grace, intentional sin, is the rejection of Jesus Christ as the Messiah.

And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise (Galatians 3:29).

We cannot see any change in ourselves but Jesus can, and He reacts by giving us what we need— love, joy, peace (the peace of knowing that we are saved by Jesus) long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance. All of these things Jesus gives us every day (sometimes we cannot see it but He is there), so that when we appear before Him we will not be empty handed but quite capable of saying thank you as we lay our crowns at His feet.

He that believeth on the Son has everlasting life: he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. (John 3:36)

That if thou confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thy heart that God has raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (Romans 10:9)
