Jesus owns you (literally)
So I was reading my bible yesterday (John 4:43-54, John 5:16-30) and today and that is what the Spirit taught me.
Except I actually felt Him owning me at the same time
I felt His presence inside of me commanding my obedience
I felt the sinful part of me fighting not wanting to listen.
and I felt my heart wanting to be obedient.
The truth is God owns our lives.
His very presence commands our obedience.
When Jesus exercises His divine authority over creation, everything/one will bow down before Him and worship Him. Period. The end.
There is no escape.
For the unbeliever they will do this out of fear and because they're being forced too
For the believer they will do it out of love, gratitude and the healthy fear we should all have towards God.
As sinful people we're uncomfortable with this truth.
But as God works in our hearts He'll take us to a place where we're ok with it.
Jesus was completely submissive to the Father. Just like we should be!
