Walking with GOD

What does it mean to “walk with GOD?” What is the impact of God indwelling the heart of a man? What does it mean to reflect the image of God? How does this all measure out from a three-in-one God? If the fullness of the Godhead dwells in Christ and Christ dwells in me…what does that mean and what does it look like?

A devotional thought

We are Imago Dei aka Image of God

(We are created in the image of God) Genesis 1:27

Jesus said; “If you have seen me, you have seen the Father…” (John 14:9)

For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body. (Colossians 2:9) And the incredible thing about this…is Jesus dwells within us!

Jesus said; “the Father is in me and I am in the Father…I in them and you in me” (John 17:18-23)

John 17:18-23 18 As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.  19 And for their sake I consecrate myself,1 that they also may be sanctified2 in truth.  20 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word,  21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.  22 The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one,  23 I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me.

Jesus said it is better that he left us so he could dwell within us… The crazy thing about this is that I have often thought how cool it would be to walk with Jesus; I suppose that reveals my (lack of) understanding of what it means to be filled with the Living God. Nevertheless, I am telling you the truth. It is for your benefit that I go away, because if I don’t go away the Counselor will not come to you. If I go, I will send Him to you.” (John 16:7)

Jesus said; “I will never leave you…I will never forsake you…” (John 14:16; Hebrews 13:5)

What more can we ask for?

By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence. (2 Peter 1:3)

"I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. And I now live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave his life for me."

(Gal. 2:20)
