We often refer to our relationship with God as working for God, which can present various issues, especially where a true relationship is concerned! So I will echo the question that is above again. Are you walking WITH... In Sync WITH... God? Read the following verse of scripture...
“So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.” -Romans 12:5
What does this scripture mean as it applies to the individual? It should not surprise us to know that most "Christians" place a lot of value on their relationship with God. But, a true relationship with God is based, firmly, on the fact that we have a relationship with others and not just a relationship but a relationship of LOVE!
John 13:35
35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
So, we are known as his disciples if we love one another! Wow! Sounds like a body that is in true harmony to me. It is functioning like it was designed to function. If the natural body is out of function, we are normally inclined to take it to the doctor! Who knows us better than the one who made us? Who knows how to fix the body better than the one who designed it and has a particular purpose for it?
Jeremiah 29:11
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
I hope you understand just how much our Mighty God has invested into our lives so that we can live a life that is peaceful... NOT because we have no conflict but, because we know that conflict, trials, and persecution will come. Knowing this gives us the ability to PLAN our response to these times of "trying"! This is why fellowship and unity of the body are so vital! We are "helping" one another to function as we were designed to do!
I need you! You need me! We need each other! And this need drives us into the presence of God! I cannot function on my own, and we have been put into the body of Christ to work "in sync" with his will and desire for our lives! There truly is an expected end that he has for us! He EXPECTS that we will all be together soon and VERY soon!
John 14:1-3
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
What a day that will be! The day when the end that God has purposed for our lives comes to fruition. The day that we are united... WITH GOD... for eternity! There will be no dying there! There will be no heartache there! There will be no pain there... no crying... no sorrow...
1 Thessalonians 4:17-18
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
So shall we ever be WITH the Lord!!!!
The Christian who walks with God WILL walk in unity with the Body!
Are you In SYNC with God?
