Christ Within

1 Corinthians 12:6
God works in different ways, but it is the same God who does the work in all of us. (NLT)


I watch these science fiction movies where someone clones people and all the clones are identical. They look and act exactly the same. They are real in that they can do things and even think like us, but they are not real in that they are man made not God made. God does not work in them.

God made us in His image and likeness and yet He made us different from anyone else. However, as we associate with others, we become a little like them. We may even start to dress in a similar fashion and become interested it the same activities. This has certainly become true in our marriage-not the dressing alike!

The Holy Spirit is in us as believers. He was sent by the Father at the request of His Son, Jesus. He is working in us and for us. He comforts us when we need comforting and guides our steps when we need guidance. He warns us when we need warning.

It is the same God who does the work in all of us. And yet He who is in me is one hundred percent working with me and He who is in you is one hundred percent working with you. It is confusing and awesome at the same time.

Is God working in you?
