Daily Experience of God in Christ Living in Us

Ephesians 4:6, “One God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.”

Is God really over you, through you, and in you? Maybe your job, your business, your education, or a promotion is over you, but not God. Many things are getting through you daily. You may give a thoroughfare to many things but not to God. A lot of things may be right now abiding in you, but not God….We may have a God who is merely in the third heavens, far away from us. Paul, however, unveils the very God of the Body of Christ who is over the Body, through the Body, and in the Body. This is the subjective God for our daily existence….Daily we must be under Him, daily we must let Him go through us, and daily we must give Him our inner room that He may stay in us. Then we exist with Him*

God is subjective in us today for our daily living. Paul presents his experience in Galatians 2:20:
“I am crucified with Christ;” – this was accomplished by Christ and is for us to experience daily.
“and it is no longer I who live,” – I no longer live by myself as a natural man in Adam.
“but it is Christ who lives in me;” – Christ is the essence of my daily living as a new person in Him.
“and the life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith,” – I still live but now I live one with Him.
“the faith of the Son of God,” – not my trying to believe but He in me becomes my faith.
“who loved me and gave Himself up for me.” – for me shows His personal interest in each of us.

May we each experience this today! Much more we will all participate in this in New Jerusalem!
