Rhapsody of Realities 29 May 2025: Christianity – A Divine Relationship
Scripture: John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me
The Christian life is not merely about worshipping or learning the Bible as a storybook. It is a life given to us to live, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week; it’s a divine life. It is the very life and nature of God imparted into the human spirit.
Many go through life without ever encountering the fundamental truths in the Word of God of what Christianity is and who the Christian really is. That’s because they don’t study their Bibles. Yet, Jesus commanded us to search the Scriptures.
He wouldn’t have instructed us to study and search the Scriptures if there weren’t valuable treasures for us to discover. Paul also exhorted us to study, not just read the Word, for there’re depths of revelation that can’t be accessed without study. In studying the Scriptures you’d discover that as Christians, we have a real and living relationship with God. That’s no religion!
All our outward actions, such as praying, giving offerings, studying the Bible and gathering in fellowships are not what define Christianity. True Christianity is the actual relationship with God, where one is born of Him, receiving His divine nature. This is a definite experience that occurs at a particular moment in time. One cannot be uncertain about when it happened, for it’s a conscious and transformative encounter with the living God, without which all the outward actions are empty. But when you’re in this vital relationship with the Lord, each act of worship and devotion releases tremendous power and holds eternal significance. Hallelujah!

11 And this is that testimony (that evidence): God gave us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.

2 Peter 1:4
4 By means of these He has bestowed on us His precious and exceedingly great promises, so that through them you may escape [by flight] from the moral decay (rottenness and corruption) that is in the world because of covetousness (lust and greed), and become sharers (partakers) of the divine nature.
