Jesus Christ came for two reasons. The first one is to be a sacrifice on behalf of the whole world, thus taking the sin of the entire world upon Himself being the only one pure, righteous, and without sin (ref.: 2 Corinthians 5:21). But what is the second reason?
The second reason Jesus came to the world was to establish a new beginning with Himself through His resurrection. In order words, He is the last Adam. What does this imply?
This implies that there are two kingdoms. The kingdom of the first Adam of Genesis, who is dying off, and Jesus the life-giving kingdom (ref.: 1 Corinthians 15:45). It also implies that anyone born of Christ Jesus has the same nature as Jesus, the last Adam, just the same way we all once had the life of the first Adam, when we born were of him, born into sin. But anyone born of Christ Jesus is born into righteousness as His true nature.
Now, what happens after being born of Christ Jesus?
Jesus told His disciples when He was here on earth that it was better for them He went back to the Father, if not the Holy Spirit would not come (ref.: John 16:7).
For Jesus, the Holy Spirit is very important. He is one Jesus spoke of as the good things our Father in heaven would give us in Matthew 7:11 being revealed as the Holy Spirit in Luke 11:13.
The Holy Spirit is the one who leads us into all truth, and not speaking on His authority, but whatever He hears, He speaks (ref.: John 16:13).
The kingdom of Jesus, the last Adam will be spread by the Holy Spirit, this was why Jesus said the disciples should wait in the upper room for the coming of the Holy Spirit, because having received Jesus as Lord, you now have the Spirit of Jesus. But you need to be led into knowing your new identity, and, the purpose of your calling. This is where the Holy Spirit comes in.
The Bible says in Colossians 2:6, "In the same way you received Jesus our Lord and Messiah by faith, continue your journey of faith, progressing further into your union with him!" TPT. And the only way to get this done is by allowing the Holy Spirit to lead. But I've seen several Sons and Daughters of God drift away into the wisdom of the world through furthering their education.
Now, education is wonderful, but as a Son or Daughter of God, it is the Holy Spirit who leads us, tells us what we are to do, and how to go about it in line with the word of God.
The Holy Spirit is so important in our Christian growth. Without Him, we cannot accomplish our purpose as Sons or Daughters of God.
He reveals our action plan in line with the word of God we have meditated on. Don't take Him for granted, because in case we have forgotten He is God. This is why we function in the authority of the might of the Lord Jesus.
John 14:26 says "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you." The Holy Spirit is very informed, knows all things, and knows the end from the beginning. He is God! Allow Him to lead you, don't forget Him.
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t? Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
