What is it to trust in one another?
In the world, trust in each other is a way in which one or all parties give up something in order for there to be a common place among each other. This unity is empowering, and enables everyone involved, to feel they have a part in this common bond.
How do believers trust?
We are told to trust only in our Lord.
So as we only trust the Lord, how do believers find common ground with one another? Where is our unity?
This is why I write to you.
For generations, ever since the great commission, believers have strayed away from the idea of trust in the Lord. The primal instinct of safety in numbers, soon replaced the ministry of the Kingdom. Man made religions founded in times of transition, where developed to address the social and political aspects of every region. In some cases, the very religion became a sword of human morality, claiming the name of Christ as its shield. With prosperity came wealth and influence, and to this day, man made religions are more a mediator to the souls of mankind then the Holy Spirit. Our forefathers did not trust in the Lord, instead they favored themselves and their capacity as their own mediators to the Father.
The Holy Spirit is essentially the Life in all things. The Holy One of God is this Life as an expression of Love. And the Father is that Love. The trinity is God as One.
When Jesus petitioned to the Father to send down the Holy Spirit to be among his disciples, this was completed, and the disciples were annointed. The Holy Spirit annointing remained with them until the great commission was complete. At that point, as with all annointing, it faded. But the Holy Spirit is still here, among the living, under every stone turned.
For the living it is the Holy Spirit which we acknowledge by having faith in our mediator. And that faith is acknowledged by the Holy Spirit as well. It is our belief in our mediator, that is the door to the Kingdom. And the Kingdom is where perfection in the Holy states of being is found available to us when we seek it.
So now I return to you with the earlier question; how do believers find common ground with one another?
In each of us is a love expressed by the life we were given. Then, also, there is a belief that recognizes the truth of our mediator, who is perfect life. Our belief is itself holy, one of the fruits of love. And by faith we recognize and are recognized by the greater Life, which is full, and overflows with perfect love. Our belief is our common ground.
You see, I do not need to trust you, nor, do you need to trust me. You can witness my faith and acts of love, and know I am sincere in them. And I do the same of you. We both discern by the same Spirit we act upon.
And in this is true unity.
The difference between worldly unity and unity in God through His Son, is simply put: In him we are one, and by this we honor the Father through him. The children of the world deny the Father this honor, and set themselves up as a legion of spirits intent on manifesting their combined will.
Do they love? Yes. Do they do so selflessly? Perhaps. But what they do not do is acknowledge the Father through His Son, which is the Father's will. So what loving fruit they supply, is poor, as it did not put God first.
As the world commits to its own unity, and gains leadership, and celebrates its combined empowerment, I say to you that sin has then come full circle, and judgement is ready for the return of the just One.
There will be times in your life where you will be led into a situation where if you trust in another, you will gain by it. I say to you, this is how the world draws you away from faith. Do not be harsh with those who seek your trust, no. But consider this, if you speak out and say 'my trust is in the Lord alone'...will they trust you?
Treat others how you would have yourselves be treated. Be loving and selfless, giving freely of the fruits of the Holy Kingdom. But keep the Lord in you, heart and mind. For your love for him is an expression of your love for the Father. Trust in the Lord.
