MEDITATIONS ON THE TRUE CHRISTIAN LIFE
By Glenn H. Jackson
______...."This
book of the law [the Word of God] shall not depart from [always be in] your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful [take
heed] to do according to all that is written in it; for THEN you will make your way prosperous, and THEN you will have success".... Joshua 1:8 NASB
THE PURPOSE OF GOD
[part 4 of 5]
The Father's Care
*____A few scriptures
that reveal the Father's care for His children are : Matthew 7:11; 6:8; 6:25-32; John 16:27; 17:23; I Peter 5:7; Philippians 4:6, 7, 19 and John 14:23.
____Satan has been very subtle in blinding our minds to the
Father-nature of God. The average Christian has had no real consciousness of God as being his Father. This ignorance has been due to the fact that our minds have not been renewed by the Word of God. Romans 12:1-2 and Ephesians 4:23. Here we see the importance
of the study of the Word.
____Sense Knowledge has taken the place of the Word of God in our lives. Jesus Christ has been manifested to man's physical senses. I John 1:1, 2, "That which we have handled concerning
the Word of Life." Jesus Christ took upon Himself a human body through which He was manifested to man.
____Man's mind derives its knowledge through the senses of the physical body. The Father has never been manifested
to these senses, as He is a Spirit being; therefore man's mind can form no mental picture of Him.
____When a man has been born again, past sense knowledge of the life of Jesus Christ has taken the place that the
Father should have had in his life. Because man could form a mental picture of Christ, he has developed the habit of praying to Christ, praising and worshipping Him alone. The renewing of the man's mind by the Word of God, brings a consciousness of the Father
to him that revolutionizes his life.
