For oneness with the Father, we must be of the same kind of person:
- Ephesians 4:22-24 - Put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness
- Colossians 3:10 - Put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator
Oneness with the Father is a definable concept in our own personal lives.
What it does NOT mean:
- It is not merely being a member of the church.
- It is not merely being baptized.
- It is not merely observing the Lord’s Supper each Sunday.
- It is not merely the equivalent of quiet time each day.
- It is not merely an involvement in one or more discipling relationships.
- It is not merely being busy in “Church work”.
- It is not merely being fruitful in evangelism.
What it DOES mean:
- It means that I am continually conscious of God’s presence and that I desire such by seeking God’s face throughout the day
- It means that His thoughts are becoming my thoughts, His ways are becoming my ways (this is a continual, never ending process)
- It means that I truly love God and want to obey His will with more of my heart each day.
