“Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” John 14:27
Through the power of Christ in our lives, the pressure has been removed from us! God knew who we were, and He completely knew what we were. So He did something about it, He sent Jesus to pay the price, and then He sent the Holy Ghost to empower us with His fullness. Notice that God said that He, His Spirit, will cause us to walk rightly! God’s Spirit will teach us all things! Jesus said it was better that He went away, so that God’s Spirit would come. There is a truth here that only the Holy Ghost can teach us, and it is this: God placed the responsibility and burden of us walking uprightly on Himself, not on us! Religion and man have placed it all on us, claiming that if we do what is right than we can have some of the glory that God has to offer. Yet that is not what God has said! God’s Truth is that He will cause us to walk in His statutes and in His judgments. God said that He would teach us all Truth. God said that He would do superabundant things through us by the power of the Holy Ghost that is at work within us. There is so much freedom here! My experience with religion is that the burden is placed squarely and completely on us, and our success or failure is measured solely on our desire and ability to perform. Yet God said that He would lead us into the paths of righteousness, Psalm 23:3. You know we only have one work according to Jesus. “Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on Him whom He hath sent.” John 6:29 We only have to do this one thing, believe on Jesus, and everything else God will perform through us, and God will even assist us in believing on Jesus, He will Author and Finish our faith, Hebrews 12:2. Through the power of the Holy Spirit we are able to have peace in who we are, just like Jesus had peace in Who He was!
Jesus came that we might have life and have it more abundantly, John 10:10. Well, with the Holy Ghost, abundance is measured on God’s level, not on man’s! A life filled with love, hope, faith, service, forgiveness, miracles, and unbroken fellowship, now that is abundance! These things are not limited to what we can think of either, regardless of what we can ask or think of, God can do more, and He can and will do more through us. We are born of God, He is not ashamed of us, because He has saved us to the uttermost. We are a chosen generation and a royal priesthood. Through Christ we enjoy abundance on God’s level, and it’s the Father in us, He does the works! A-men!
