Having Been

After having heard from the LORD. After having been with the LORD, and tasted and drank of the LORD, in your abiding with Him (John 6:56). After having seen and known the LORD. There’s no denying it. None at all. Not at all.

Because after having received from Him, and received from Him, again and again, you can’t deny it. There is no denying it.

Christ Jesus saves and He saves again. Christ Jesus gives life and He gives again. And after having been with the LORD, there is only one proof of your abiding - His Life! You can’t deny it. Christ’s Life is the evidence of a soul having been with the LORD, having been saved by the LORD. Because Christ Jesus saves by giving eternal life, by giving His very Life. Again and again. Life for death. Abundance for lacking. Overflowing for stagnancy. All starting with your every moment of every day necessity to abide.

Because you need Him!

So you taste and you drink, and you listen with ears to hear, and eyes wide open to see. Because you need Him! Because you need Him! Again and again!

And after having ate, after having been satisfied, and having tasted of the LORD. It happens every time. Abundance to overflowing! Life everlasting!

It’s your proclamation loud and clear that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God! Because His Life is alive and well within you.

And your life declares it again and again, “Christ Jesus saves!”
