Part One - Introduction The purpose of these weekly devotional writings is to seek to take you on a journey into the deeper things of God. I intend this to be an adventure for you, an experience of understanding and revelation. The Apostle Paul wrote to the Hebrew church in Hebrews 6:1-2 saying LET US MOVE ON. He was exhorting us to move on beyond the basic foundations of truth and enter the depths of the riches of the Lords life and grace. There is much more for you to understand and enter into 1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. Who are we? Psalm 8:4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor. 6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: 7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; This question has been asked by sages, philosophers, theologians and man of all ages. Who are we? Where did we come from, how old are we? We live on a planet spinning in infinite space, why are we here? These are questions we will seek to answer, at least in part. What does the bible say about these perplexing questions? Well, the Bible God's Word tells us that we are made in the image and likeness of God Gen 1:26-27. This means not only do we have the same shape and form as God, but we also have the same faculties of mind will and emotion. So we are like God. We are children of God and like begets like. However we are essentially a spirit, the scriptures refer many times to man as a spirit and this is the first truth we need to understand. 1 Corinthians 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? 1 Ecclesiastes 3:21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth? The question needs to be asked, how long has your spirit been in existence? Was your spirit created the day you were conceived on earth, or at the point of your birth? To answer this we need to look at a few scriptures. 2 Timothy 1:9 who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, |
