JESUS CHRIST
(THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE GOD)
David Abankwah
SERIES: Day 6
The SPIRIT OF TRUTH, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.
-John 14:17 | NKJV
Everything about Christianity is spiritual, because the founder and leader is not a carnal person. Jesus Christ even though He became flesh or in other words manifested Himself into the physical or natural state, His life was not dictated by carnality. If we are to serve this God whose name is Jesus Christ, we need to make sure we cling to what is righteousness that leads one into the spiritual and eschew evil things that leads one into carnality. If we cannot wrestle against flesh and blood, then we cannot worship and serve God in flesh and blood. False worshippers are those who worship God in flesh and blood.
In John 4:24, Jesus Christ said that He was the way, the Truth, and the Life. This definite speech tells us that, Jesus Christ was saying something about the Trinity. God the Father was the way through whom the Word of God who was life was manifested into the flesh and the Truth is the Holy Spirit. If Jesus Christ said He was the way, the truth, and the life, then He was saying He was the fullness of the Trinity/Godhead. Today we will talk about Jesus Christ being the Holy Spirit. It is wrong to call the Spirit of God as the Holy Ghost, it is rather the Holy Spirit. God is not a mortal being to have a dead soul called ghost.
One time Thomas doubted the resurrection of Jesus Christ and when He appeared, He told them ghost doesn’t have flesh and blood like the one He was having. He was telling us that He was not a ghost but a Spirit. The Truth in John 4:24 is the same Spirit of Truth also known as the Comforter who was to come. Jesus Christ said the Spirit of Truth who was the Holy Spirit to come, was dwelling with the disciples at that time and He would come later and stay in them (John 14:17). That was Jesus Christ! He was the Spirit of Truth who was dwelling with them in the flesh at that time but would stay in them on the day of Pentecost.
Jesus Christ, who is the One and Only True God, created the flesh of men purposely that He would come and stay in us but that wasn’t possible because another homeowner who was Satan had already occupied His temples. For that reason, God (Jesus Christ) took the form of a servant and came to eject him out of His temples by dying on the cross, so when He lives in men, we can worship Him in truth and in Spirit. When Jesus Christ became flesh we called him Son of man but His real personality is not flesh but Spirit. Anyone who still see Jesus Christ as Son of man cannot serve Him in truth and in Spirit.

Lift up prayers for the revelation of the mystery of Jesus Christ as the same as the Holy Spirit so you can worship Him in Spirit and in truth in the name of Jesus Christ.
Quote
God without flesh is called the Father; God in flesh is called the Son of God, and God in man is called the Holy Spirit.
