Eternal Perspective: Nicodemus
This week, let's take a look at another famous passage where Jesus participates in a paradigm-shattering, eternity-focused conversation -- this time with Nicodemus in John 3. Many of us have read parts or the whole of this passage perhaps thousands of times, but let's look at it again today with the fresh eyes of eternity.
Eternal Perspective: The Well
We must learn to live and to have our being in the Kingdom Realm of eternity if we are to experience the joy, the pleasure and the success that was planned for us before we were born. We must learn to present and share the Good News based on eternity like Jesus did.
Temporal Perspective
In our previous blog, we discussed the distinction between spirit, mind, and body. Many people today prioritize the upkeep and beautification of their body, to the detriment and neglect of their mind and spirit. This body-consciousness often borders on obsession. But what does our Creator and Designer have to say about this?
Spirit, Mind, and Body
God is Spirit, and we must worship, fellowship, and communicate with him out of, or from, our spirit. Our spirit is the component of our triune being that lives forever.
Absolute & Unchanging
Heaven and earth will pass away, but the Word of our God is forever. God’s Word does not change. It is not situational. It does not change with different situations, circumstances, and relationships. God’s Word is absolute and unchanging.
The Mind is the Gatekeeper
Our emotions, our will, our intellect, our feelings, and our imaginations are all the product of our mind, and not of our spirits. Our mind is where the Kingdom of Light and the kingdom of darkness go to do battle. Our mind is the gatekeeper. This is where we decide and where we choose who will rule in our lives.
God Reveals Wrath
When we reject and when we entice and prevent others from accepting our God and His Realm, the wrath of God is our promise and our reward. It not a small thing to deny and to reject the living God. He is all powerful and all loving at the same time. The dynamic of our rejecting Him and His rule, His Kingdom, has a distinct interactive outcome that we cannot deny.
The Eyes of the Spirit
When we see with the eyes of our spirit, and when we then confirm verbally out loud what is shown to us in our spirit, what we see becomes real for us. Even more real than what we see with our physical eyes and earthly senses. The development of our faith creates Kingdom Realm vision for us.
Expecting Results, Taking Action
Our faith is relative and must become active to the absolute Kingdom through our actions. When we engage our faith as currency to acquire or to purchase the promise that we have from our God, we are engaging His Kingdom Realm in our plans.
Integrating the System, Part 6
The new birth is the beginning and the entry into the Kingdom realm. We must establish a relationship with our God through His Word. Then, we will know “what is the good, the acceptable and the perfect will of our God. What is good in His sight for us.” We do not have to guess.
Integrating the System, Part 5
Our greatest challenge can be unlearning what we have been taught by religion and by the constant bombardment of lies and the deceits that we receive from the kingdom of darkness. How do we reprogram our minds to believe and stand on the Truth of God's Word?
Integrating the System, Part 4
Our belief requires our expectation. This is where the greater power and the higher authority that we are given exist. His Kingdom Realm is what we operate in on the earth for believers who follow, who accept and who adhere to and expect the teaching of our King Jesus to be our reality.
