ON THE WORD OR IN THE WORD

You can build your life on God's Word or in God's Word. To build on God's word is to follow its commands. To build in God's word is to let His Word be the author and finisher of your life. The difference is one is a partnership and the other is an organic union. The one is a union of the head and the other is a union of the heart. Many unions are uniting at the head level. There is nothing wrong in this but the difference is that one can act like a christian or is a christian. One can act like Jesus or be Jesus. What sort of identity are you? Are you an actor or the real thing? An actor fools himself by believing he is right while the one who knows lives in the knowledge of a intimate relationship. Sometimes we start our journey by acting the role till we come into the experience of what it really is. Many are just acting a role. In a role one can perform but the real identity is different. Like a chameleon one can change your clothes and roles. Your true identity is in Christ. This organic union in Christ makes you separate from the actors. You are no more acting in a role. You have come home in Him.
