One With the Father
Devotions:
“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Romans 8:1 ESV
We are not condemned because Jesus took all of our condemnation and gave us His righteousness. When He gave us His righteousness He also gave us His relationship with the Father. He was one with the Father and He made us one with the Father. We do not have to pray and strive to be one with the Father we just need to accept it by faith.
“that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one,” John 17:21-22 ESV
Because we are one with the Father as are all those who believe and have been born again, so we are one with each other. If I attack you I am also attacking myself and Jesus.
“Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him.” 1 John 5:1 ESV
When we focus on our oneness with our Father the love of the Father will flow though us. When we know that we are one with the Father then we will know clearly that we hear His voice and His power will flow though us as it did with Jesus to heal the sick, restore the lame and maimed and to undo all the works of the devil.
