The who...Aida,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your great comments here. The whole subject of us being one with God, in inseparable union with Him, is something that I love talking about and I think I'll try to revisit this in the near future on this blog. It just seems as if many people still see God as "out there somewhere," and it's as if He's "looking down on us," but yet He is right here with us, and not only with us but One with us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29606082.post-16061900144293647222008-01-18T06:20:00.000-06:002008-01-18T06:20:00.000-06:00Joel, I'm still slowly traveling through your arch...Joel, I'm still slowly traveling through your archives and found this gem. This is so enlightening.<BR/><BR/>I like how you described the inseparableness of our union with Christ as us having his DNA. I’ve heard our union with him described as a pitcher filled with water and that the reason we sometimes sin is because we leak. In that analogy, each item retains its own separate nature. Neither the pitcher nor the water change and they can be separated.<BR/><BR/>However, the analogy of us receiving his DNA emphasizes the impossibility of separation. Even though scientists can examine my DNA, they can’t separate me from it. Even a corpse retains its DNA forever. <BR/><BR/>That's also true of our union with Christ. We’re joined forever and nothing can separate us. Thanks for this awesome reminder. <BR/><BR/>I’m having a good time traveling with you through these archives and I'm learning so much. <BR/><BR/>AidaAidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09885702269506142727noreply@blogger.com
