Dwell In the Word (John 8:31-43)
God is living. He revealed Himself to the world through the living word and its truth (Jn 14:6). in general, the religions which are in the world are devoid of life, and since they stem from human feelings and convictions they are, namely conditional faith, superstition (2 Co 4:3-4). We do not believe in superstition but in the Living One and we receive only from Him. God is the living Father. Jesus Christ whom He raised from the dead is also living in heaven (Jn 17:3) from where he sent the Holy Spirit in our hearts; thus it is his love (Jn 16:13-14). The Spirit makes us realize the truth in our spirits and teaches the word of the ever-living One (Jn 14:26). Therefore he who dwells in God¡¯s word, dwells in the truth, and he who has the truth has life (1 Jn 5:6-12). The truth is the word of the ever-living One (Jn 17:17).
¡Û Let us dwell in the word. He who dwells in the word becomes a true disciple of Jesus Christ.
¡Û Let us know the truth. He who dwells in the truth is he who loves God.
¡Û The truth is never in him who does not love God, the operation of the Holy Spirit is also absent in him.
¡Ø Let us truly love God. Let us dwell in His word by understanding it and receive the guidance of the Spirit.
