What does God the Father want from mankind? In
addition to obedience, He wants people who will worship Him in
spirit and in truth. That may sound easy but how do you live out
such a mandate? An unsaved person operates exclusively with their
soul but a born again person has a spirit made alive by God that
gives them the ability to communicate with God on a level that is
just not possible for an unsaved person. Sadly, most Christians
choose to live their lives in a soulish manner because the soul
still has the Adamic sin nature. However, the moment you communicate
with God, the born again spirit automatically takes over and the
soul is disconnected from the thought process. God wants us to
approach Him with a born again spirit and without unconfessed sins.
That is what it means to worship God in spirit and in truth. The
cross is the starting place. Confess your bad attitudes because
nothing is hidden from God. There is nothing wrong with coming to
God the Father and sharing your burdens and disappointments. Jesus
was just like us 2,000 years ago when He came as a man. He was
tempted in every way. Because of His death and resurrection, we can
boldly approach the throne of God to obtain mercy and grace in time
of need. |
