The Importance of Understanding the Father Heart of God.
If we as believers do not understand the Father heart of God towards
the community of humanity wrapped up in the finished work of Jesus'
death and resurrection, we are unable to present the truth and purpose
of the Gospel that God intended to be good news for them.
A
great desire of the Father heart of God is to deliver His people from
performance based guilt ridden religion. Once we understand the Father's
heart we can go to Him and experience His love and forgiveness that
Grace has accomplished. Once we know we are set free from guilt and
condemnation, we can, regardless of our faults and failures, commune
with Him, this communing with Him spirit to Spirit is Grace enabled to
provide the power over sin.
The
Believer's life was never intended to be based on religion's inability
(for it is without ability gain or maintain for us a relationship with
God), or man's ability. It is based solely on God's ability to fill us
with Himself that enables us to live in Him and live the Grace life.
Through relational fellowship with our Father, our character is
transformed and we begin to manifest the fruits of the Spirit as
evidence we are living in Grace.
As God's people we need to
comprehend the reality of God's presence within us and by His Grace help
the community of humanity see the revelation of the mystery of the
gospel revealed to Paul...the Gospel of Grace. That is, that Christ
would be magnified in our living, that He would grow in us and fill us
with His Spirit so that it is "No longer I who live, but Christ who
lives within me".
To fill the earth with the glory of God can
only be accomplished by Grace living as He lives His life in us and
working His works through us by His Spirit. Only by God's Grace can we
have power over sin and live a consecrated and dedicated life so the
community of humanity will experience kingdom living by Grace empowered
believers.
As we learn to live in Grace in a practical
meaningful way we will find the abundant life that Jesus promised us
becoming more of a reality flowing within and through us as the Good
News Gospel of His Grace.
