God Empowers Us To Serve Him

“Are ye so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?" Galatians 3:3

This is an awesome scripture of Truth; does our flesh, or the things of our flesh, the old things, now make us perfect to serve God? All things are now of God for us, they are not of our flesh. Old things are passed away from us, and behold all things are now new! God does not use the old things of our lives to witness of His new things. Look at Paul’s ministry, how often does he talk about His old life when witnessing the new Truths of God? Out of all of the books in the New Testament that God had Paul write, not often, not often at all. “For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.” 2 Corinthians 4:5 “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,” Philippians 3:15

God chose us, and our Father has renewed us in the very image of Jesus our Lord and Savior, by allowing us to become one with and partakers of His very Own Divine Nature. We are now members of our Lords body, of His flesh, and of His bones. We were birthed by the Spirit of God and we now are one with the Spirit of God and the Spirit of our Father now leads us and strengthens us to be as Jesus is, even while we are on this earth. Our flesh has been quickened together with Christ, our old things were crucified with Jesus on the Cross, and we now live in newness of life just as Jesus lives in newness of life, as we ever serve our Father the Living God!

The Holy Spirit has empowered us to allow God to be Who He is in within us this day. Jesus loves us and He has given us the power to love each other just as God loves us.
