Christ in us scriptures

Heaven is near because God has set up His throne in our hearts. These spiritual beings like angels, cherubim and spirits  in  their eternal and timeless work are described in His word. They are before the throne giving glory to God.  All of us stand before the throne of the glorious Lamb who purchased us and defended us as we  give Him the praise He deserves as He rules over all the earth.

Christ is eternally present as our high priest. He provided us with a defense when He sent His Spirit into the world. Christ is our eternal substitute who makes us all acceptable to God. How do we understand this communication so that we can grow in our relationship with Him?

Because we acknowledge that we are sinners and need of His help, He communicates His promises to us. We grow as we are focused on what He has said so that we might experience eternal life.  The standard of His faithfulness that is taught in His word is the firm foundation the promotes our growth. Our desires are united with His universal promises as we apply them to our hearts. We grow in our relationship to Christ as we learn to pray according to His will.

He establishes His name and authority by doing whatever He pleases. He promises to loves us beyond what we could ever imagine. We gain confidence as we learn to approach Him according to His promises. Our great defender has condescended to us and separated us unto Himself so that as He works out all the events in our lives we might experience His presence.  This gives us an understanding of the voice of the Shepherd.

Through His promises we are able to ask for this according to His will. We approach Him boldly through commanding His promises and commands. Because we are to be kings and priest of God we have a spirit of mind to live in the authority and name of Christ. Through his direct orders the king controls the events in His kingdom. The king only has authority as He speaks and prays according to the whole counsel of God  If the king adds or subtracts from the word of God he acts in his own authority.  His kingdom can only be established by whole and healthy doctrine. Gods word is all we need to live in His kingdom. 

How can we grow in confidence if we try to act or define the way to approach God that is not holistically healthy for us? He has given us a personal message that addresses our circumstances as He satisfies the needs of our souls and the health of our bodies. And then we have the natural likes and dislikes that are part of our spiritual desires. So we need to know all that we are given in order to understand this holistic experience of our position in His kingdom. The danger is for us to ignore a word or to approach His word with pre conceived ideas. We must learn how to go to the word and let it speak to us. Yes there are basic doctrines what we must understand but doctrine without application is dangerous.

Christ has communicated with us in His word. His word is the perfect expression of the self that teaches us how to live with others. The word works from the inside of us to our physical appearance.  The word of God is health to our bones. He forms our bodies and our inner man by His spoken word.. He sheds his light on our desires and we are completely exposed. This gives us a new perspective that sheds light on how view other people.  He causes us to walk in path way in life. We are taught to view people by how words are formed in a culture and repeated over and over again. The art of the christian application is to be able to distinguish between words that take us down a side road. Our experience is only real as we understand Christ definition of truth and He is working in  us. This is why we always approach this world and our view in comparing His application in His word with His trusted word.When we focus on Christ we learn what is most personal to us.
