The Spirit & the Veil Series: In Pursuit of Relational Knowledge This week we explore the connection Jesus and Paul make between loving God self-sacrificially and the Spirit revealing Jesus to us. That which has always veiled the true person of God from the eyes of humanity has always been the flesh. Not just fallen flesh, but just flesh. This was done with great and merciful purpose by God. To see Him is to know Him and if we had truly 100% known God, then our fall would have allowed for no redemption. As it is, we see God progressively as He is revealed to us by the Holy Spirit. This is rationed to us, not by merit, but by desire. If we draw near to Him, He draws near to us. Jesus and Paul both said, that it is our true, agape love for God which allows for God to be manifest to us. Without genuine respect, love and the honor of prompt obedience - we are in no position to have Christ revealed to us. In fact, if He were - it would work towards our hurt and shame. Join us as we learn how to work in co-partnership with the Holy Spirit our Helper in forming Christ within us! Blessings!
