Volume 2 Post/Email 8 – John 14:17
The last few posts on spiritual formation have been specifically on the concept of union with God.
Without going deeper in terms of my own commentary and observations, below are several statements of truth from Jesus for us to consider and pray concerning a closer union with our Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.
May your reading and meditating upon these be a blessing to you spiritually!
“But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.” – John 14:17
“On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.” – John 14:20
“If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.” – John 14:23
“Remain in me and I will remain in you.” – John 15:4
“If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you.” – John 15:7
“Remain in my love.” – John 15:9
“I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.” – John 15:11
“All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me through them.” – John 17:10
“Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name – the name you gave me – so that they may be one as we are one.” – John 17:11
“May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.” – John 17:21
“I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.” – John 17:26
Also, these are all wonderful verses to be mindful of when taking communion on Sunday with the Father, Son, Spirit, and your brothers and sisters in Christ.
