May the Force Be With You!

 In the movie "Star Wars," there is a force that flows through the Jedi which works through them to accomplish whatever they need. Hmmmmm.

Where did George Lucas come up with such a cool idea for his movie franchise?

Simply? The Holy Spirit. As Christians, having believed, the Spirit of Christ, the Holy Spirit, is deposited into our spirit when we are born again, when we are saved. 

Ephesians 1:13-14 NIV

[13] And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, [14] who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory. 

He is deposited into our spirit guaranteeing our inheritance which is to come, which is eternal life.

Now the Spirit flows within us to accomplish all God desires for all humanity which is drawing people to Himself so they can be saved too. God's love is given to us by the Holy Spirit inside us to make this happen.

Romans 5:5 NIV

[5] And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

So Jesus works through His Spirit in us to bear fruit that will draw people to God. So cool!!

John 15:5 NIV

[5]  “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 

What fruit you may be asking? All the good stuff!!

Galatians 5:22-23 NIV [22] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, [23] gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 

So by the "force within us," which is the Holy Spirit, Jesus can use our lives to draw people to God with His love so they can be saved!! 

So, "may the force be with you always."
