John 14:7-12 Oneness with the Father

If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him.”Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.”  Jesus said to him, “Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?  Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works.  Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise believe because of the works themselves. Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father.

In Jesus' world, things don't change, even from eternity past.  Jesus is in the Father and the Father is in Jesus.
He and the Father are One.  In the same way, if you name the name of Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord, then the Spirit of God will indwell you so the Spirit and you are One.  That does not mean that the Spirit participates in your sin, but it does mean that your sins are forgiven you based on the blood of Jesus.

Daily Prayer:  Jesus, I do try and believe that I succeed in living for You.  I have been sanctified by the Spirit and testify for You with my tongue.  By You and the Spirit that lives in my I have been saved and forgiven from and of my transgressions.  In Your holy name I pray Amen.
