The Daily Word of Righteousness
In My Father's House, #10
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. (II Peter 1:4)
We are becoming the sons of God, a process that will be complete when our bodies have been adopted. The Father is bringing many sons to glory. To every person who receives the Lord Jesus is given the authority, the legal right, to be a child of God.
Because the Divine grace is being given to us, particularly the body and blood of Christ, and also the indwelling Holy Spirit of God, we no longer are merely human beings. We are receiving into ourselves the Nature and Substance of God.
When we state that Christ is being formed in us we are declaring that Divinity is being formed in us. He who has the Son has the Father.
The Father never will dwell in any human being. The Father dwells only in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Christ dwells in us and God dwells in Christ in us. The more of Christ we possess the more of the Father we possess.
The dwelling of God in Christ in us is the Kingdom of God. It is the central truth and issue of the Scriptures and of the creation. There is no greater truth than this. The motive, the method, the environment, and the goal, are the Father's love.
No angel can participate in the union of God with His sons. Only those born of woman can participate. Only those who are born of woman and of God can be part of the eternal Temple of God. The angels are spirits whose task is to minister to the heirs of this incomprehensibly great salvation.
Where is Jesus? He is at the right hand of the Father in Heaven. But more than this, God is in Christ and Christ is in God. This is the greatest fact.
Christ is dwelling forever in the heart of the Father. He wants you eternally there with Him. Without you His joy is not complete.
And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. (John 14:4)
The disciples were maintaining that they did not know where Jesus was going or how to get there. Perhaps Jesus, by His statement in John 14:4, meant that they knew deep in themselves but were not able to bring it to mind.
Each human being on the earth knows there is a God and longs to find rest in God. This knowledge and longing often are buried deeply in us. Some never understand, and others discover late in life, that the deepest longing of the human being is to find rest in God's Person and will. Sometimes it is true that devout, diligent saints still are playing with the toys of the world.
Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? (John 14:5)
Jesus was going to the Father, as stated in John. Every person desires to go to the Father, to go home to God.
