Daily Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:
Ephesians 3:16-17, “That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,”
The Christian life is not merely a matter of receiving Christ and knowing that we have eternal life and will go to heaven.
Although none of these matters are wrong, they are short of the divine thought.
God’s full thought when we receive Christ is that a new source be established within us for our entire being.
This new source is our regenerated human spirit (John 3:6).
Having a change of source is the most central thing in our regeneration.
To have a source-change means that we no longer live to ourselves, but to God.
We no longer live by the self, but by His life.
What naturally follows the new birth of our spirit is a progressive transfer of source in our daily life.
For this transfer, it is necessary to pass through experiences with the Lord in which the old source, the self, is dealt with, and the new source, our spirit, gains the ascendancy.
According to 1 Thessalonians 5:23, man’s being is composed of spirit, soul, and body.
Before regeneration, although our spirit exists within us as a potentiality, it is in a dead condition (Eph. 2:1).
So the source of our living is not our spirit, but our soul, composed of our mind, emotion, and will.
But when the Lord enters into us, our spirit is born and we have an inner rearrangement of our being.
The mind, emotion, and will are no longer to take the lead to determine our living.
The leading part of our being now becomes our regenerated spirit, where we are joined to the Lord (1 Cor. 6:17).
It is from this Christ-indwelt center that all the parts of our soul will find their proper place and function.
Formerly, we were an independent self that did our own things, thought our own thoughts, made our own decisions.
But once our center changes, all this is transformed.
Christ comes in to make His home in our hearts and rearrange all our inward parts.
Until Tomorrow,
With a Shepherd’s Love Pastor
