Unshakable

When we trust in Christ as our Rock Foundation for our being, life and eternal salvation, we will be unshakable (Matthew 16:18, 1 Corinthians 3:11, Isaiah 28:16, Matthew 7:24-27). As we look to Him and trust in Him, He will uphold us by His power, so we will not fall, as Peter experienced when he walked on the water. The Christian life is based on a personal relationship with the Lord. Through knowing and trusting the Lord, we experience His abundant and eternal life (John 17:3, 10:10). The Christian life is trusting and loving the Lord, our Rock and our life, rather than living by a set of rules. God designed us to be His Temples (dwelling places of God) on 3 dimensions and 3 levels of holiness: (1) our spirit (holy of holies), (2) our soul (holy place), and (3) our body (outer court). We can understand how we should live by understanding the dynamics of God's Temples. Man was made to live by faith, trusting in God's Spirit, flowing from his spirit to the glory of God. When man sinned he died spiritually, cut off from God's Spirit. He then lived according to his Independent Soul Life (ISL), under the power of the sin-nature in his flesh. When we receive Christ as our Lord and Saviour, Christ, by His Spirit, enters our holy of holies, applies His Blood to our spirit, making it into a perfect new creation, and He sits enthroned there through His indwelling Spirit - this is the New Birth. We then become a functioning Temple of the living God. Christ now lives in us as our Rock Foundation (Colossians 1:27).
