"The thing that can give you the humility of mind grace produces is to take a moment and think about all the wonderful privileges God's given you in your life," advises Jordan.
"We literally have this personal, intimate, real, genuine, authentic relationship with God the Father that allows us to relate to Him on exactly the same basis that Jesus Christ does.
"He doesn't relate to you in His godheadness; omniscient, omnipotent, the Holy Other, the Transcendent One. He comes and relates to you, not in all the essences He has, but in His person. He isn't just all those other things; He's also life and love; He's personal, relational.
"Every member of the godhead, they spontaneously and forever live for the good and the benefit of the other members. They're always looking out for the others in the godhead. That's God's life and it's that kind of relationship that you and I in Christ now have and that's what the Holy Spirit's job is . . ."One of my favorite verses in Ephesians is Ephesians 2:18: [18] For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
"It's the function and the work of the Holy Spirit to take you, and by that WORK of the Holy Spirit, lead you into that intimate relationship with the Father that Jesus Christ has provided for you. That's a wonderful, fantastic kind of relationship."
