But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. Romans 8:11.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
Jesus is the way and because He lives, you live.
After a little while the world will no longer see Me, but you will see Me; because I live, you will live also. John 14:19
The Way is a living Way. The life you live you live through Him. Those on the Way are alive from the dead.
But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:4-7.
Most of humanity is not aware that no matter what righteous deeds you do without Christ those are not what determines your salvation. All humanity, which descended from Adam and Eve, is under the judgment that I gave to them. They separated themselves from Me by choosing to follow Words contrary to Mine. My Word is truth. They chose the lie and they plunged the world into the darkness of the law of sin and death. They changed from walking in the spirit to walking in the flesh. They no longer had the light of life. They murdered the eternal life in the flesh which I had given them and now justice demanded an eternal life in return. But neither Adam nor any of his descendants now had an eternal life to give. They had locked themselves and all their descendants in a situation where it was impossible to recover what they had lost. The only way to save you all was by giving humanity another chance, a second Adam formed from the imperishable, incorruptible seed of My Word with an eternal life in the flesh to give as your kinsman redeemer to ransom you all for reconciliation with Me. He would restore by His obedience unto death what Adam had lost by his rebellion and treacherous action. And Jesus did that with joy, He gave His eternal life in the flesh to pay your judgment, and He went to the dust of death and to hell to satisfy the sentence against you. And when all was paid in full and much more, I raised Him from the dead by My powerful Holy Spirit so that justified by Him you could all too be born again and I seated Him at My right hand in Heaven and you who receive His finished work for you as a gift by faith I seated with Him.
And He was saying to them, “You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world. Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I AM, you will die in your sins.” John 8:23-24.
Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and have come from God, for I have not even come on My own initiative, but He sent Me. Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot hear My word. You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies. But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me.” John 8:42-45.
Love speaks the truth. The truth is living and working. It is eternal and never changes. If you continue in My Word, you are My disciples, and you will know the truth and the truth will sanctify you, set you apart from the world, and set you free.
I am love and I sent Jesus, who is love as one God with Me, and, from the beginning, Love gives life. Love never gives death. Hate brings death.
For we also once were foolish ourselves, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another. But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by His grace we would be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. Titus 3:3-7.
Love came that you might have life and have it abundantly, eternally. I was in Jesus reconciling the world to Myself, putting all your sins on Him so that you too could be love forever. Life without love is impossible for all life is from Me, from Love Himself.
For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. 1 Corinthians 15:22.
And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. 1 John 5:11-12.
The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy. That is living in the flesh and not in the spirit. A mind set on the flesh, which generates hate, malice, envy, strife, anger, lust, greed and the like, is death. Dwelling on these things causes murders, fights, divisions, wars, revenge, and the like. What you hate you want removed out of your life. But even if removed, the thoughts of those people or things keep tormenting your mind.
Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, 2idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. Galatians 5:19-21.
What is the answer? Walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law. Why? If you are indwelt by My Spirit you will bear the fruit of the Spirit in your spirit and there is no law against such goodness and love.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Galatians 5:22-24.
Jesus is the vine and you are the branches, if My Word remains in you and you remain in My Word you are attached and will bear the fruit of the tree of life. It is where your mind is attached that will determine what you produce, whether life or death.
When you receive Jesus Christ by faith as your Lord, you are born again by the imperishable seed of My Word. You then have the advantage over the world, the flesh and the devil, because Jesus pours the Holy Spirit into your born-again spirit and you become one spirit with Him. Deep within your innermost being you are indwelt by My Spirit. I share My divine life and nature with you. The Spirit of God could also be called the Spirit of Love for I am Love. That is who I am and now so are you. And the Spirit of Love, who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you and QUICKENS (zóopoieó (ζῳοποιέω): to make alive, to give life, to quicken) that is, gives life to your mortal body. You have passed from death to life. You are ALIVE in the truest sense of the world for now and forever.
“The Spirit gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The Words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.” John 6:63.
I speak of both your future bodily resurrection and the work of the Spirit in you who believe even now, promising that the Spirit who indwells believers now will “give life to your mortal bodies.” I raised Christ from the dead by the power of My Spirit and I raised you up with Him and seated you with Him and in Him at My right hand by My Spirit in you. I have cleared all the dead works out of you by the eternal blood of My Son and quickened you unto Me.
But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation; and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? Hebrews 9:11-14.
You are no longer joined to dead works, works done in the flesh and devoid of the Spirit. I have put My Spirit in you and you who were once dead now live again, and you who were lost are now found.
But you, beloved, ought to remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, that they were saying to you, “In the last time there will be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts.” These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, devoid of the Spirit. But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life. Jude 1:17-21.
It is time to stop looking back and playing with dead things. Forgetting what lies behind go forward for now you are alive. Wonderfully, powerfully alive in Me making your life new and bright, joyful and filled with light. You are renewed and alive, new vigor, new light, new revelation. Life from the dead.
For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom He wishes. John 5:21.
The Way is the living Way. My Word is Spirit breathed. My Word became flesh and dwelt among you as My Spirit hovered over the virgin Mary, the woman prophesied by Me in the Garden on the day when Adam fell under the authority of the devil by his knowing choice whose seed would crush the devil’s authority and break his power of death over mankind. And My Word is so living, so active that it took on flesh and blood and that is the Word of life.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. John 1:1-4.
It was My Spirit breathed Word that was nailed to the Cross and died for you.
What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the Word of Life—and the life was manifested, and we have seen and testify and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested to us— what we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ. 1 John 1:1-3.
My Word was nailed to that Cross and it became for you the tree of life that you eat from and live forever. Now you understand this:
So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also will live because of Me. This is the bread which came down out of heaven; not as the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread will live forever.” John 6:53-58.
The Spirit quickens. The flesh profits nothing. The Words I speak to you are Spirit and Life. And the Spirit quickens you. You have life, life indeed. You now walk before Me in the land of the living.
For You have rescued my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling. I shall walk before the LORD in the land of the living. Psalm 116:8-9.
I love you. You are on the living way of love, the Way of Spirit and Life. The Way of the Word, the Word made flesh. And now that Word is in you giving you life forever.
