PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY - MEDITATE DAY AND NIGHT
May 1st, 2026.
If indeed the Spirit of God lives in you, you are in the realm of the Spirit.
If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ.
If Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness.
If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.
If you live according to the flesh, you will die;
If by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.
If we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ
If indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
If we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
If God is for us, who can be against us?
(Romans 8:9, 10, 11, 13, 17, 25, 31 (NIV)
Apostle Paul used these conditional statements for clarification purposes to distinguish between living according to the flesh (sinful nature) and living according to the Spirit (a life transformed by God). The ifs offer assurance of salvation, the presence of the Holy Spirit, and the secure position of a believer as a child of God.
Notice that the first if says “the Spirit of God lives in you.” The third if says “Christ in you.” And the fourth says “the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you.” This is the evidence that the Trinity indwells those who surrendered their lives to Jesus Christ. The believer is never alone. The devil and or his demons cannot indwell the believer. This indwelling separates the believer from the "flesh" (sinful nature). If the Spirit is present, the person belongs to Christ. Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and WE WILL COME to them and make our home with them.” (John 14:23 NIV)(Gen. 1:26)
Now, the choice is yours - to fully surrender to Jesus Christ and have what He has or remain outside. But always know that Jesus stands at the door of your heart and he is still knocking. (Rev. 3:20)
THE WORD: “What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Rom. 8:31 NIV)
