1 Cor 6:17 “whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit.”
But wait the context of this verse is:
1 Cor 6:15-17 “Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never! 16 Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.” 17 But whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit.”
The picture is unity, being one. The contrast is being united with the Lord or being united with a prostitute.
But my question is, “How does with work? What do I do to be united with the Lord?” I want to be united, but how. What do I do to be united with the Lord today? What do I do tomorrow? How to do I stay in harmony?
I first heard Jesus, as the Holy Spirit move in me and convict me that God was there. I don’t remember being convicted of sin that first time. I remember being convicted that God was there with overwhelming love. I was eight.
I have been united with the Lord in worship. How do I get there again and again?
Is this different when Jesus is my friend? Is the foundation deeper too?
It seems so far away yet
My life is hidden with Christ in God (Col
My life is hidden with Christ in God
My life is hidden with Christ in God
I have been told my sin makes me and keeps me unworthy of God. I have been told my sin proves that I am a child of the flesh, a child of the world and a child of satan.
My life is hidden with Christ in God
I have heard that I am wretched and God is far away. I have heard that God does not listen to the prayers of sinners. That He has turned His back on the world. I have heard that God has turned His back on me.
My life is hidden with Christ in God
and all my sin is covered with Jesus blood
My life is hidden with Christ in God
and I can not be closer, I am in God
My life is hidden with Christ in God
and God not only listens to my prayers, He invites me to come to Him with every need.
My life is hidden with Christ in God
and He has turned His back on my sin, taking it as far away from me as the east is from the west
My life is hidden with Christ in God
God has turned His face to me
Asked me to come boldly before Him
Promised never to leave, abandon or forsake me
God has promised to teach me and lead me into all wisdom
My life is hidden with Christ in God
Help me get this. I want to understand when my life is being run by the flesh and when it is being run by the spirit.
I am united with the Lord in one spirit. Help me get this.
