Mysteries of spirituality: By the will of God, in keeping with the promise of life that is in Christ Jesus

in spirituality •  2 years ago 

The apostle Paul mentions the knowledge of the spiritual gift of eternal life, that is the promise of God made to men in the new testament, by invoking our Lord Jesus in the second epistle to his disciple Timothy: "Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, in keeping with the promise of life that is in Christ Jesus" 2 Timothy 1:1.
The promise of life, taught and revealed by our Lord Jesus to his disciples, that is in essence the adoration of the father in spirit and in truth (John 4:24) is one of the deepest mysteries of spirituality, so much so that Paul bases his authority on this.
This spiritual promise is what gives meaning to all Christian revelation: "The kingdom of God is in your midst" Luke 17:21. Because the promise of life fundamentally implies two things, a new birth in the water and the spirit, which is Gnosis, and then the opening of the eye of the mind, which is the third eye, in this consists the full likeness to God through his mercy (compassion, kindness).
Let us remember that the doctrine of the Kingdom of Heaven is essentially a spiritual doctrine of hidden and secret knowledge, because human reason is insufficient to reach the dimension of the truth, the kingdom of God is a doctrine for sages, that is to say for men reborn from above: "The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables", Mark 4:11.
Eternal life is not a virtue but a charism, and through this spiritual gift, God invests us with a special spiritual strength: "For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline" 2 Timothy 1:7. The gift of eternal life is that hidden treasure (Matthew 13:44) that we have to find through listening and living the word of God: "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it" Luke 11:28.
