The
Mystery Of Godliness
"Great is the mystery of godliness." 1 Timothy
3:16. Christ was made flesh and dwelt among us. In Him we
had God with us. In Him humanity and divinity were united
into a oneness. In Him the human and the divine were never
separated. He performed no act, thought no thought, spoke
no word that necessitated the leaving out of divinity. God
was in every word and deed of His life. Is this too high a
life for man to live? We are to measure to the stature of
the fullness of Christ. All our words are to be spoken,
and our deeds done in Jesus' name. Col. 3:17. This is
nothing more or less than having Christ in every word and
deed. We cannot live it, but Christ will come into our
humanity and live it in us. We have no excuse. Christ will
do it for us. Get out of yourself and let Christ in. He
will live in you to the thinking of every thought, the
speaking of every word and the doing of every act. We are
commanded to live godly in this present world, and that is
not godly that does not have God in it. If you are failing
to live godly in every word, you need to feed on Christ
more. Get more of His strength in your life. Draw more
heavily at the Divine breasts. Drink deep and full of the
life of Christ.
