“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 6:57
Only 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.
