He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. (1 John 5:12)
In Christ, we have received divine life. The Greek word for this life is “zoe”, while translating this word, one can find many different meanings to it. Some say, ‘the everlasting life’, somewhere it is written, ‘eternal life’. However, when we study deep in the scriptures, and compare all the contexts, we can conclude that the description of this life as eternal life or everlasting life is just a fraction of the total meaning. The full meaning of this word is, ‘the God kind of life’.
We got born of God’s spirit, when we got born again. The very spirit of God, came to live in us and mingled with our spirit when we received Jesus as our Lord and Saviour. I want you to look at the following scripture: ”Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God”(John 3:3). Jesus clearly said that, until a person is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. If you go through the book of Romans, chapter 10, you find that salvation comes by proclaiming the Lordship of Jesus Christ by your mouth and believing his resurrection in your heart (Romans 10:10). Therefore it is clear that when you got saved, not only did you get saved, you also got born again. Which means you have received the infilling of the Holy Spirit. You are now a child of God, born of His Spirit in your inside.
When you came on earth, that was your biological birth, and now that you received Christ in your life, this is your spiritual birth. Therefore, it is called born again. When Adam, sinned against God, he lost the presence of God from his life. But, now that you are born again, not only do you have the presence of God in your life, but you also have a new kind of life, the God kind of life; the divine life. God’s purpose for you is that you experience an unending flow of the supernatural every day in your life, until it becomes a natural thing for you. The way you never doubt your humanity, now that you’re in Christ, living the divine life with the power of the Holy Spirit should be the new normal for you.
Get excited about this new month because we will be learning more and more about this divine life. But to begin with, inculcate with the consciousness that your life is not ordinary. You have the divine life of God in you.
Prayer
Dear heavenly father, I thank you for your love. I am your own and I am born of you. I live every day with the consciousness of your divinity at work in me. I am yours and I am like you. I surrender myself to you to be taught by you through the Holy spirit to live in your divine plans. I thank you, in the Name of Jesus. Amen.
