Simply
put….. Sanctified by the Spirit of Truth… He will guide you… through
the WAY… into the Kingdom of God.
2 Thessalonians 2:11-14
11 And for this cause God
shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be
damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
13 But we are bound to
give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God
hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through
sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
14 Whereunto he called you
by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus is the Way, the
Truth, and the Life, right? Right. John 14:6 Jesus saith
unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father,
but by me.
By TRUTH we come to the
Father: The Spirit of Truth. To take you through all the
scriptures may be too much so here is the condensed version of today’s message.
The Spirit within the Son
was the Father. It was the Father that spoke in the Son, then the
Son spoke what the Father said. It was the Father that drew you or
any to the Son, and only through the Son could any of us come to the Father and
enter His Kingdom. Teamwork. They understood each other,
the goal, and how to achieve it. How? They are ONE. Their MIND (Spirit) that
moved each of its members was the SAME SINGLE MIND. There was One
SOUL that was to become the Eternal Soul, and One Head and Body: all working
and flowing by that SAME SPIRIT in Harmony of God’s plan and purpose.
John 14:10 Believest thou
not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto
you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
The Father was not out
somewhere separate from the Son, who was man. This man was all man
yet the one and only God was fully in this man. Thus making the
Son. The visible image of the invisible God.
The Son, and Father were
abiding together and the Father was working His operation through the Son to
cause US to be one with them…. In heaven AND Earth… God’s
Family abiding in the SAME SPIRIT OF TRUTH… the SAME MIND.
The Plan was made, His
purpose revealed and manifested… a complete work was done. NOW this
work of the operation of the Father in the Son is now causing us to be REUNITED
REDEEMED back with the Father, yet we must go Through the Son.
The WAY. The
Spirit of Truth washes us, prepares us by the salvation of God which is the
Word that is spirit and life… which is God’s testament of His Son engraved in
our souls… the Blood Covenant of the Eternal Sacrifice… God’s promises… God’s
Word. He gave His Word and Sealed our Souls with the Word of
Truth. Now That Spirit is Power working in us to bring us and secure
us in the Father and Son in the Kingdom.
HE has caused us to become
One with His Son, and with Him. We are God’s inheritance, redeemed
by the price of much value. We… are… that… desirable to the Father….
His Holy Habitation. The Life of His Son for the Redemption of ours
from the grave of death, so HE can LIVE IN and THROUGH Us. The visible image of
the invisible God. !!!
James 1:18-21 Of his own
will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of
firstfruits of his creatures…. Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and
superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which
is able to save your souls.
John 14:17 Even
the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not,
neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in
you.
John
16:13-16 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will
guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he
shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come….
John
17:17-19 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is
truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent
them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that
they also might be sanctified through the truth.
John 15:26 But when the
Comforter is come, who I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of
truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: …
God is speaking and
sanctifying us through His Son Jesus Christ.
It is Jesus Christ who is the God’s Word, God’s Truth, the Spirit of
Truth … He is God’s Power who sanctifies us and abides in us forever.
Amen.
