God's Heart Desire
God's heart's desire is to impart His life into man so that man could express Him. It is for this purpose that man was created with three parts; a spirit to contact and receive God, a soul to magnify God, and a body to glorify God. For God to be expressed through man, God must first indwell man's spirit, his innermost being.However, before man could receive God’s life into his spirit, sin entered into man. This damaged all three parts of man and alienated him from God.Nevertheless, man’s fall did not deter God from fulfilling His original desire. In order to fulfill His desire, God first became a man called Jesus Christ. Then Christ died on the cross to redeem man, thus taking away his sin and bringing him back to God. Finally, in resurrection, He became a life-giving Spirit so that He could enter into man’s spirit to be his life.
When a person repents and believes in Christ, his sins are forgiven and he receives the life of God. To be forgiven of your sins and receive Christ as your life, simply turn your heart to Him and receive all that He is and has done for you by praying:Lord Jesus, thank You for dying for me. I confess that I am a sinner and I need You. Lord Jesus, forgive me. Take away my sin. Lord, I believe You rose from the dead, and I want You to be my life. Come into me! Fill me with Your life!
After we receive Christ as our life, He begins the life-long process of growing and spreading from our spirit into our soul and body. By means of this process, God gains His complete expression through man. Praying to contact God, reading the Bible to receive nourishment, and meeting with other believers to enjoy the Lord’s presence are three ways we can cooperate with God for this new life in us to grow.
