Good People?

"...as God has said, 'I will dwell in them and walk in 
them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my 
people.'" (2Cor 6:16)

God Himself dwells in us; walks in us. We are His.
An old Saint who now dwells in heaven puts it this
way:

"God's aim and purpose in the Gospel is not to make 
good people, a mere matter of conduct; but rather a 
people so"peculiar" to Himself that He can come and 
live in them and be Himself the regulator of their lives. 
Wonderful! Really, wonderful!

Stated boldly, stripped of superficialities, the Christian
Life is a reincarnation of Christ. He who walked the earth
nineteen hundred years ago, walks in us: "I will dwell in
them, and walk in them." He who once found flesh and
blood expression for Himself in one body now claims a 
similar expression in any body--yours, mine--the bodies 
of all who will believe and receive the benefits of the
Gospel.

The life thus depicted is too wonderful for words. It is
staggering in its possibilities. To think of anyone missing
it!" Norman B Harrison

Reader, think of a car whose engine is running at full
power but the wheels are standing still. The power is
certainly there but something is off in the outworking 
of that power. Reader, get connected to the truth and
live life boldly!
