The Lordship Of Christ (5). As We Receive His Law Of Love Upon Our Hearts
HIS LAW of LOVE RECEIVED THROUGH FAITH
WE OUGHT to understand here that the law has now been written on our hearts through this new covenant relationship that we have with God. We receive it BY FAITH, through Christ’s blood being shed for our atonement into this eternal relationship with God for our redemption.
The law is His love letter to us; now fulfilled by grace and not works of the law.
Jer 31:33
But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel: After those days, says the Lord, I will put My law within them, and on their hearts will I write it; and I will be their God, and they will be My people.
THEREFORE, Christ dwells in our hearts by faith – through the written word on our hearts. The written Word, Christ Himself, dwells in us through Himself living in us. This is all possible through His Holy Spirit’s indwelling in our spirit man.
WE HAVE now understanding of His love, His ways & His being (character, power & presence) as we exercise continually our faith upon Him.
BY FAITH we have received Him into our lives. By faith we concede Him to capture our hearts, soul, mind & spirit being. By faith we submit to His LORDSHIP. Through the experience of His love,- allowing Him & trusting Him to love on us. Our lives are now being changed – from glory to glory.
AND… this testifies of His love – having the experience OF His love. His divine presence flooding us with God Himself enabling us to become rooted, in soul & spirit… grounded IN LOVE!
THIS TESTIFIES of His Lordship over us – He becomes our Lord as we allow His Holy Spirit to fill us with the Living Word, to engrave it on our hearts as He reveals the Truth of our Lord & Saviour by His divine expositions deep within our spirit. Not by power or by might BUT by His Spirit we come to know Him, to make Him truly Lord – Adonai in our lives.
HEREBY then to receive His Love & embrace His Lordship in our lives is to experience and to come to know Him as Lord.
NOT Him wanting ‘to lord’ over us, but to flood us with the love & presence of Himself. Without the Spirit within we cannot know Him. Without the Helper we cannot live.
1Co 2:12-14 (Rom 8)
(12) Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.
(14) But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
Prayer:
Thank you Lord, For giving us Your Holy Spirit through Whom all power & revelation comes. By Faith we receive afresh Your Law of Love upon our hearts & You as Lord – Adonai, my Lord into my life.
Amen
