Why, when we have the bible ?.

Most of Christianity knows nothing of this, it is so blind sided by it's stance and defense of the written word( exactly where the devil wants you)it totally misses the reason why Christ came........He came that He may lead us from within. He came that we might have boldness and confidence before Him, He came that we might have Life and Life more abundantly,He came that we might know the Love of God that passes all understanding. He came that we might know Him,who to know is Life age enduring. He came that we may know where He always intended on reigning, in man in the here and now.

Christ is IN you, how amazing is that. The reality of this, no bible verse could ever match.

Christ never called us to defend the word,the Living Word of God is more powerful than anything we could ever imagine. We defend ourselves with it.

Desire above all things to know Jesus Christ in you.

I hear what you’re saying, but I have to make a correction. Jesus was SENT, by his Father, (John 17:3 -And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent). He was sent…because his Father, Jehovah God, the God of Israel, wanted to save our lives. Because the first couple lost it for us ,(Rom.5:19- For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous).

He was sent to do his Father’s will ,(John 5:30 -I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me).i agree with one word you said..” satan” he wants us to NOT learn the truth, he does that by tricks ,(Ephe.6:11 -Put on the whole Armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles, (tricks), of the devil). This is why we have to get close to Jehovah God, (James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you). Peace

I think this topic is one of the most important topics in Christian theology, or doctrine, or teaching.

Hearing that all souls will be reconciled to God through Jesus Christ, brought much joy to my heart, and it has been a blessing over and over, every time I hear it preached.

However, when I go through trials, the thing that keeps me in peace and reassurance is knowing that my Savior lives within me. No doctrine gets that close to me. The communion with God within me is a whole world unto itself. It is everything. Period.

"And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they? And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. " Rev. 7:13-17

Blessings of Christ in you, the hope of glory!

To know Jesus is to follow the son of man and to spread the good news of the kingdom of God.

As the son of man says; "Anyone who is not willing to pick up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me."

JN)"Whoever does not keep my words does not love me."

JN)"Whoever rejects me and does not accept my words, he already has his judge, namely the words I've spoken, that's what will condemn him on the last day."

JN)"If I do not wash you, you will have no part of my inheritance."

JN)"What I have done that is what you must do."
Once you know all these things ,blessed you will be if you put them into practice."

While it is nice to know Christ is in us/me, we must also know Paul WROTE to the churches even though they had Christ in them, to get them back on track. Evidently having Christ in us is not all we need to keep us from making shipwreck of the faith. We also need instruction. And as Paul told Timothy:

1Ti 4:13 Till I come, give heed to reading, to entreaty, to teaching."

That is because they never understood the message or placed themselves back under the law.

To be spiritually minded is life and peace.

But they had Christ in them. Obviously Christ in you minus knowing His word = failure.
