The Christian Faith Podcast

The Christian Faith Radio Hour exists, along with TheChristianFaith.org website, to help address the need for a healthy word of ministry among God’s children today. In the past several centuries the Lord has used saints such as Martin Luther, Madame Guyon, J.N. Darby, G.H. Pember, Robert Govett, Andrew Murry, Mary McDonough, T.A. Sparks, Watchman Nee, and Witness Lee to open up so much Biblical truth to His children. Through them, and others as well, matters such as justification, the Old Testament types, the Body of Christ and the local churches, the reward and discipline of the believers in the coming age, and God’s full salvation through the operation of the divine life within the believers, have become more clear now than ever before. And yet, it seems that so few Christians today have more than a basic grasp of the truths contained in Scripture; As the Lord tells us, through the prophet Hosea: “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” — Hosea 4:6 Our hope and prayer for The Christian Faith Radio Hour, as for our website, is that the Lord may use it to bring His children into a more thorough grasp of His truth, and ultimately, into a greater knowledge and experience of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, for His glory and His kingdom.

    “Spirit and Soul and Body” (6): Our Relationship with God

    If we desire to know Christ and follow Him today, we must be clear about the kind of relationship He desires to have with us, as revealed in the Scripture. And what the Scriptures show us, especially in the New Testament, is this: God wants to be one with mankind. That’s why He became a man in the person of Jesus Christ through the Incarnation; and now He desires to incarnate Himself again in the followers of Christ by imparting Himself as the divine life and nature into our human spirit to make us the genuine Children of God (John 1:12-13, 2 Pet. 1:4), so that in and through us Christ can live His life on the earth once again (Gal. 2:20).This is the relationship God desires to have with us today.This reality of God wanting to impart Himself into us is pictured all through the Bible in God presenting Himself to us as our food (e.g., Gen. 2:9, 16; Rev. 22:2, 14, Exo. 12:1-13, Lev. 1-7). And the Lord Himself tells us in the New Testament, in plain words,As the living Father has sent Me and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also shall live because of Me.— John 6:57Only when we see God’s desire to make Himself one with us by imparting His divine life and nature into our being can we really see the importance of our human spirit, because it is our spirit, as God’s dwelling place today (2 Tim. 4:22, 1 Cor. 6:19), that enables us to contact God and receive His divine life and thus enter into a proper, New Testament relationship with God, where we and God become fully one in Christ. =========== OUR WEBSITETheChristianFaith.org SUBSCRIBETheChristianFaith.org/subscribe SEND US A NOTEnotes@thechristianfaith.org FOLLOW US ON… Facebook YouTube Twitter / X ===========     SUMMARY We should seek to know God, not in the Old Testament way of being governed by Him, but in the New Testament way of becoming one with Him =========== Bible Verses for this Episode See  Episode #116: “Spirit and Soul and Body” (6): Our Relationship with God =========== RESOURCES WebsiteGodsEternalPurpose.org A Book By Witness LeePaperback Edition: Our Human Spirit A Book By Mary E.
