    John 4:23-24 "I am he"

    "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth" In the short dialogue the Samaritan woman expresses the significance of being a living soul. She had an inkling of the truth and she needed Jesus to enlighten her. "

    Blessings come from the greater to the lesser. " Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ." (Ep.1:3-) Holiness of God expresses love. So God anoints Jesus "Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows."(Ps.45:7) This prophesy concerns Jesus the Anointed one.' For God loved the world sends 'the only begotten Son' indicating that he is the Word made flesh,

    The covenant between God and Man as referred by St Paul in the above mentioned takes place in heavenly places, "According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love." Predestination is merely a theological term to define this choice is according to his purpose,"to the good pleasure of his will,". God is a Spirit so the laws upholding his holiness is spiritual. These laws state what is holy and what is good. Being conformed in the image of his Son gives love a human face.

    While heaven was made to appear according to his 'good pleasure' the Son also had his part."The same was in the beginning with God./All things were made by him;..../ In him was life; and the life was the light of men." Upon the template of the divine Will the unseen aspects of His holiness is made to appear. As the Father of lights the separation of light from darkness is sanctified by the Law of the Spirit. Consequently Jesus Christ the Word made flesh is the true Light,"which lighteth every man that cometh into the world." Those who failed to see it as such were led by the law of sin,- the children of wrath.
