Are you dating or married?
John 17:21
“I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me.”
When two people get married the possessions and wealth of one becomes the possessions and wealth of the other. If you didn’t have a car and the person you married did than you now have a car. If you need to sign important papers for the other person you are dating, you can’t but if you are married you can. If you are dating, you can go where you want and do what you want but once you get married you must come to an agreement on these things.
Christ prayed that we might be one with Him as He is one with the Father. What does it mean to be one with Christ? We no longer do what we want but we do what He wants. We want all that God has to give to us but we must be married to Him. He must be our primary love. I told my wife many years ago I could not love her as I should unless I love God more. Loving God means that I want to be the very best husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend I can be. But this power comes through union with Him.
Do want to please Him? You must desire Him and the things He desires. He must have our heart, our soul, and body.
