Being Alive Unto God: Assurances of Our Salvation

“God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” - John 4:24.

“But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from
the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by the Spirit that dwelleth in you.” - Romans 8:11.

This is about assurances of our Salvation.

Being Alive Unto God

Our personality + God’s LIfe within + Our Deepening understanding of God - - work together to become
how we relate to God, but all must be of worship of Him “in spirit” and worship of Him “in truth”.

Jesus is The Truth. He is also Eternal having no beginning and no end. He is God and Lord of All. He
gives Eternal Life. He is a Life-giving Spirit (NKJV), i.e. “a quickening spirit”(KJV) - 1 Corinthians 15:45.

Will everyone worship Jesus? 

One great final day, Yes! He is continually recognized every time He is revealed. To reveal means to
uncover. So when all things pass away and we are all before God in His Great Day of Judgement, we
shall ALL see Jesus as He is, Lord of All. On that day, the word says “every knee shall bow and every
tongue confess that Jesus is Lord to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:11. 

This is the central and utter truth about Jesus, which we have to accept. Those who accept Him now
exchange their life for His Life. Those who recognize Jesus after the day of salvation will be lost. 

Now, this means for us who believe that Jesus Christ is both Lord of our salvation and Lord of our lives
with all circumstances. He is in control of them all. The universe responds to Him and obeys Him,
Colossians 1:17, and we are to realize and to respond to Jesus by His and Father’s and Holy Spirit’s l
oving invitation of grace to our hearts.

“For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.” - Romans 6:14. 

When we receive Jesus, we go from being under the law of sin to he law of grace. God’s spiritual laws
and the dispensation and application of these are from Him directly to our hearts, or as it means in the
hebrew, right to the seat of central decision in us, indeed the seat of thought and emotion.
(See Strong’s concordance which defines “heart” in the Hebrew, #3820.)

Jesus becomes the King of our hearts. We enthrone Him by choosing God’s great love for us. Jesus can
only go here, He doesn’t fit in our lives anywhere else. He cannot be misplaced to just be in our
imagination or thoughts, or just in our intellectual ideals. Jesus can only be Lord and King of our hearts
as He is truly met in being revealed to us by God’s Spirit.

“Deep calleth unto deep”. - Psalm 42:7.

There is a spirit in man that awakens and responds to Holy Spirit which makes this possible. This is by
design of God. Holy Spirit quickens, i.e. makes alive this place in us, which is the depths of our
fashioning, which is the heart of the heart within us, and yet which is not a small thing. For when the Life
of God is received by Jesus Christ and He is recognized as Lord and received as Lord to sit as King
within us, we become transformedly alive UNTO Him and this place in us is profoundly aware of Jesus
as He is and responds to Him wholly, even whole-heartedly. 

Many false prophets of worship of natural things and objects and the human self will say meditation of
the mind and feelings will satisfy us and bring us peace and connection to the eternal, whether it be
nature and natural things, the universe, cosmos, the elements of hinduism, or the enlightenment of the
budha, or even the labor of the islamic creeds and confessions, or even the outward catholic rites.
Demonstrative religions, ubiquitous ideals and goals, control of self so to obtain an awareness of
ourselves in the eternal plan of God we are set in, in order to know Him as He is will not work out well. 

They and inventions like them are conflictive with the faith of Jesus Christ which comes to us as a
deposit, a seed within our hearts and spirits that must grow to bring forth the life we seek.

We are all seekers. We are designed for God’s peace, His shalom that cares for us, His ways and gifts,
His attributes (character and qualites) of being our Father, our shelter and our help with living on this
natural plain where we are set. He wants us to enjoy life but with Him within that safety and care of His
design to walk with us and us with Him. Certainly, the experience of meeting Jesus as He is, as Savior
and as Lord brings us to an awakened position of heart by that spirit in us, the depths of us that
recognizes Jesus, as a child recognizes their parent. This is a design of God’s handiwork, as we are
created by Him and nothing other than Him can open that up place in us.
He knocks on the door and as we say yes, that place in us springs open to Him. We are dead in our sins
without Him and until we meet Jesus. Then when He comes in, the knowledge of Him fills us and we
are alive unto HIm!

This truth that springs up within us is not based on feelings, but there is an experience of inner
knowledge of Who Jesus really is. Again, only Jesus satisfies the longing of our souls. 

Only when He is allowed into His rightful place within our hearts can we begin a life of worship of Him.
For He is then alive in us and by His Life, we are quickened in our very bodies.
We know the truth, Who is Jesus, The Truth and we are free to worship Him! 

"But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God,

and not us." - 1 Corinthians 4:7.

“I AM COMING!”

Jesus now tells me to tell you, He is coming for the religious assemblies. He will break forth in you and
upon you and upend the traditions and routines. When this happens, He says, “It is I.” He will set aside
pastors to bring His grace and glory, His utmost presence and purpose unto His people. They all belong
to Him, “They all belong to Me”, I hear Jesus say, not to the pastors. He is coming to awaken churches
and they will spring up in the joy of knowing Him. 

“I AM COMING!” He told me to tell them.
