The Daily Word of Righteousness
The Witness, #7
My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you, (Galatians 4:19)
We can endeavor to learn about Christ and God and then attempt to bear a true witness of God before the peoples of the earth.
But there is a better way.
Christ Himself is the Way to God and the Way of God. God's Way is the Lord Jesus Christ. As the Holy Spirit forms Christ in us, and as Christ and the Father come to make Their abode in what has been formed in our personality, then the Way of God has been formed in us and is abiding in us.
As the Way, Christ, is formed in us and is abiding in us, our works reveal the invisible God. When our life is hidden with Christ in God, and as our adamic nature is being crucified, our works become a true witness of the invisible Father in Heaven. It no longer is we who are living and working but Christ, the Way of God, the Witness of God, who is living and working in our personality.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 5:16)
Christ is the Way to God and the only Way to God. When Christ lives in us the Way of God can be seen in our behavior in the world. As He is, so are we in the world. We become part of the only true and faithful Witness to the heavens and the earth of the invisible God. We are revealing in ourselves the truth of God, the Day of God, the coming Kingdom of God (which is the doing of God's will in the earth as it is in Heaven).
Christ is the Divine Morning Star, the Son of the Dawn, the Sun of righteousness. He desires to give us the Morning Star that He Himself is—the one true Herald of the Day of the Lord (II Peter 1:19; Revelation 2:28).
Christ Himself is the Truth of God.
All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. (Matthew 11:27)
It is impossible to know God through the Scriptures alone. The careful, consistent study of the Scriptures is a wise, profitable, and necessary pursuit. The holy Scriptures are a light shining in a dark place. But only Christ Himself can reveal the Father to a human being.
As we come into union with Christ Himself, dying to our old nature and ways of behaving, He—Christ—reveals the Father to us. Our entrance into the Divine rest, into the Presence, will, and knowledge of the Father, enables us to speak the Words that are from the Father. Also, the Holy Spirit guides us so we speak as the oracles of God.
The knowledge of the Father increases in us as Christ is formed in us—command upon command, rule upon rule, here a little and there a little. We cannot embrace God all at once. As our old nature is brought down in weakness and death, Christ, the true Day Star, arises in our heart. Then we know more of God and speak what God Himself is speaking. This is the true witness to the heavens and the earth.
Christ Himself is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No person can come to the Father, the invisible God, except through Christ. It is only as the Life of Christ is formed in us and is abiding in us that we can be a true witness of God.
To be continued.
