October 14th -- John 6
THE WORD OF GOD WITHIN US
THEY who understand the doctrine of the Father and believe it unto obedience, eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man; for, saith he, "He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him." This in-dwelling is by faith of the words which are spirit and life, as appears from Paul's exhortation to us, saying, "Let Christ dwell in your hearts by faith." When the words, or doctrine, of the Eternal Spirit concerning the kingdom and name are the subject-matter of our faith, we dwell in Christ and Christ dwells in us. The Jews did not see into this, because they judged after the flesh, which, in this great matter of God and salvation, is altogether ignored as unprofitable. "It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I speak unto you are spirit and life"; therefore, if these words dwell in us,"Spirit and life" dwell in us, otherwise not
JOHN THOMAS, Phanerosis, page 90
