God’s Desire to Reproduce Himself in Us

Every real father desires to reproduce himself in his son. Our Heavenly Father’s dream is to reproduce Himself in us. You understand that the New Creation has received the nature and life of the Father.

We invite the Holy Spirit, who has imparted to us this Nature from the Father, to come into our body and make His home in us, then as we begin to feed on the Word, practice the Word, live the Word, He builds that Word into us.

You Can’t Love Without Giving

If anyone has this world’s goods (resources for sustaining life) and sees his brother and fellow believer in need, yet closes his heart of compassion against him, how can the love of God live and remain in him?
