We Know That We Are In Our Father By Keeping His Word

“But whoso keepeth His Word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby we know that we are in Him.” 1 John 2:5

You want to know beyond any shadow of a doubt that you are saved? According to our Father, we will know that we are saved when we keep His Word. The awesome Truth about us keeping God’s Word is this; it actually is the Holy Ghost within us that enables us to keep God’s Word! We never could, our Father knows that, so He gave us Himself to keep the very things that will bring an abundant life. Our Father has placed Himself within us, so that we would know that we are saved, and through Him we have peace and we actually have joy in keeping His Word. “Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.” Romans 15:13

The burden of our salvation is light and the yoke of our salvation is easy! “For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:30 I would say so, because it’s God within us doing the works, as it was God within Jesus doing the works! Not only do we have our Father within us, we now live under a Covenant that has nailed all of the ordinances and rules that were contrary to us to the Cross with Christ! Not only is it God within us empowering us, all of the powers and principalities, satan and evil, have been nailed to the Cross with Jesus. He made a shew of them openly and triumphed over them at the Cross! “Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; And having spoiled principalities and powers, He made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.” Colossians 2:14

We don’t just keep God’s Word, we become one with it, and through our union with it, we are perfected and the world will believe, and so will we! Jesus is the Word and we are now one with Him, we can’t help but keep it, the Word is our Head, and we are now its body. We have been crucified with the Word, and nevertheless we live, yet it is not us that lives, it is the Word within us that now lives!
