“But whoso keepeth His Word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby we know that we are in Him. He that saith he abideth in Him, ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked.” 1 John 2:5-6
The way that we will know that we are in God, is by having God’s perfect love flow through us, and by walking in the power and demonstration of His Spirit, just as Jesus walked in power and demonstration of the Spirit! The perfect love of God is what allows us to love in deed and in Truth. Jesus came and He served the needs of those around Him, and if you read the Gospels, He wasn’t just out there telling the people that He loved them; He showed them God’s love for them by allowing God to use Him to answer their needs! Jesus allowed the power of God to flow through Him and the lost were saved, the sick were healed, and the dead were raised, and God was magnified and glorified through His life! It’s not just about us loving others through our deeds; it’s about truly loving God enough to allow Him to work through us by performing His deeds of virtue and righteousness! If the only thing we were ever to do was just to say that we love and never walk in the power and demonstration of love, as Jesus walked in the power and demonstration of God’s love, than we are deceiving ourselves and the Truth is not in us! Our faith would be dead. But our faith is not dead, because our faith is derived directly from Jesus Who is alive, and Jesus is leading us into the paths of God’s righteousness for His Name’s sake! Because of the strength of Christ, we will walk as He walked, with the signs of God flowing from us, and the knowledge of His wisdom will be made known to every creature, as He performs His works through us! We are born again of God, and God is love, and God’s love is active, and as He is, so is He through us, even while we are in this world!
“And I will put My spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and ye shall keep My judgments, and do them.” Ezekiel 36:27 Because we are born again God has placed His Spirit within us and He will cause us to walk in power and demonstration of His Spirit! God is not a man that He should lie.
“And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power.” 1 Corinthians 2:4
