"Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me" (John 5:39).

The Christian life is not merely about worshipping or learning the Bible as a storybook. It is a life given to us to live, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week; its a divine life. It is the very life and nature of God imparted into the human spirit.

Many go through life without ever encountering the fundamental truths in the Word of God of what Christianity is and who the Christian really is. Thats because they dont study their Bibles. Yet, Jesus commanded us to search the Scriptures.

He wouldnt have instructed us to study and search the scriptures if there werent valuable treasures for us to discover. Paul also exhorted us to study, not just read, the Word, for therere depths of revelation that cant be accessed without study. In studying the Scriptures youd discover that as Christians, we have a real and living relationship with God. Thats no religion!

All our outward actions, such as praying, giving offerings, studying the Bible, and gathering in fellowships are not what define Christianity. True Christianity is the actual relationship with God, where one is born of Him, receiving His divine nature. This is a definite experience that occurs at a particular moment in time.

One cannot be uncertain about when it happened, for its a conscious and transformative encounter with the living God, without which all the outward actions are empty. But when you're in this vital relationship with the Lord, each act of worship and devotion releases tremendous power and holds eternal significance.

Prayer
Dear Father, thank you for bringing me into an actual, real, tangible, and living relationship with you. I am born of you, filled with your Spirit, and I walk daily in the reality of my oneness with you, conscious of my divine nature, and manifesting your love, wisdom, and power to my world. Thank you for the privilege of knowing and living in this truth, in Jesus Name. Amen.
