WHY SHOULD WE BE LOOKING ABOVE

WHEN WE SHOULD BE SEEKING GOD WITHIN?

Once, having been asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied,
“The kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation,
nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because

THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU.
(Jesus: Luke 17:20-21)
Can we know more about ourselves by seeking God within?


V

“I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.
But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth.
He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears,
and he will tell you what is yet to come.
(Jesus: John 16:12-13)

The Spirit of truth guides us today in many ways far beyond the Biblical days.
We have learned more about ourselves, the world, the universe, etc. in the last 100 years
than at any other time in history.

V

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you,
whom you have received from God? You are not your own;

V

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.
The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God,
who loved me and gave himself for me.
(St. Paul: Galatians 2:20)

V
“I die every day–I mean that, brothers–just as surely as I glory over you in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
(St Paul: 1 Corinthians 15:31)
Will we die daily to all the old hatred, resentments, etc., to all that has shaped us in the wrong way
and let the Spirit of truth guide us in each new day His Way?

V

Jesus said: “The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy.
I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.”
(John 10:10)

Will you let the Spirit of truth live through you?
