Part 13"},"content":{"rendered":"

I returned to the same church I had left, believing they were right and I was wrong.\u00a0 I resurrected my god of punishment, more or less, and resolved to be a do-it-yourself-Christian with renewed vigor.\u00a0 I began to worship my own free will again, though I would have denied it if anyone had told me.\u00a0 I only recognize two things different from before my prodigal years.<\/p>\n

First, I was done with sin.\u00a0 I would never have said that aloud.\u00a0 I\u2019m not sure I ever thought it through.\u00a0 It certainly wasn\u2019t true yet in any practical sense.\u00a0 But I had returned with real adult sins to my credit and I was sick and tired of it.\u00a0 I can trace that very clearly back to my prodigal years.<\/p>\n

Second, I wanted to study the Bible.\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t like before when there were times that I wanted to study the Bible because I was a studious person.\u00a0 Trying to study the Bible always cured me of my \u201cstudious person\u201d desire.\u00a0 After my prodigal years I caught myself reading and studying the Bible when I didn\u2019t particularly want to read or study the Bible.\u00a0 I trace that back to God\u2019s answer to a prayer<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re really out there, I really want to know you.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It wasn\u2019t a prayer of great faith.\u00a0 \u201cIf you\u2019re really out there,\u201d doesn\u2019t score very high on any faith-o-meter.\u00a0 It was little more than a flicker of \u201chope\u201d that \u201cGod might still be there waiting for any who might perchance call upon Him.\u201d[1]<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0 And yet it was the prayer<\/a> that was answered.<\/p>\n

It was a prayer of my own free will in some sense.\u00a0 No one held a gun to my head to force me to walk to the kitchen and look out at the sky.\u00a0 No one beat or tortured me until I said the words.\u00a0 But when I consider the actual words I prayed I find it more difficult to believe that they were the result of my own free will.<\/p>\n

My prayer was a conditional statement.\u00a0 It would be several years before I went back to school, took Logic 101 and understood that the only condition I placed upon God was his existence.\u00a0 There was no list of personal goals, plans, hopes, dreams, other conditions<\/em> that God must meet to obtain my loyalty or, in this prayer, my desire (my will<\/em>) to know Him.<\/p>\n

Once I returned to the church and the people I grew up among many if not all of my conditions returned, but even that didn\u2019t alter my new desire to read and study the Bible. \u00a0Even when it wasn\u2019t always exactly my desire, I caught myself doing it anyway.\u00a0 And I was several years from understanding<\/a> that I had prayed for eternal life<\/em> as Jesus\u2019 defined<\/a> it.\u00a0 Where did the words of this prayer come from?<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to consider a passage from John\u2019s first letter about knowing God.\u00a0 It\u2019s not too hard to imagine that these words were somewhere in my memory from somewhere in my past.\u00a0 I\u2019ll begin at his discussion of love and eternal life (1 John 3:14, 15 NET):<\/p>\n

We know that we have crossed over from death to life because we love (\u1f00\u03b3\u03b1\u03c0\u1ff6\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd<\/a>, a form of \u1f00\u03b3\u03b1\u03c0\u03ac\u03c9<\/a>)<\/em> our fellow Christians. \u00a0The one who does not love[2]<\/sup><\/a> (\u1f00\u03b3\u03b1\u03c0\u1ff6\u03bd<\/a>, another form of \u1f00\u03b3\u03b1\u03c0\u03ac\u03c9)<\/em> remains in death. \u00a0Everyone who hates his fellow Christian is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him.[3]<\/sup><\/a><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As a do-it-yourself-Christian I assumed I should love other Christians (KJV: the brethren<\/em>) in my own strength to prove that I was one, too.\u00a0 I understood that Everyone who hates his fellow Christian is a murderer, and you know that no murderer <\/em>will go to heaven.\u00a0 John, however, was thinking here of \u03b6\u03c9\u1f74\u03bd<\/a> \u03b1\u1f30\u1f7d\u03bd\u03b9\u03bf\u03bd<\/a> (eternal life<\/em>) as something potentially residing <\/em>(\u03bc\u1f73\u03bd\u03bf\u03c5\u03c3\u03b1\u03bd<\/a>, a form of \u03bc\u03ad\u03bd\u03c9<\/a>) in one, rather than as a place one might go.\u00a0 This is much more like Jesus\u2019 understanding of \u03b1\u1f30\u1f7d\u03bd\u03b9\u03bf\u03c2<\/a> \u03b6\u03c9\u1f74<\/a> (John 17:3 NET):<\/p>\n

Now this is eternal life (\u03b1\u1f30\u1f7d\u03bd\u03b9\u03bf\u03c2 \u03b6\u03c9\u1f74)<\/em>\u2014that they know (\u03b3\u03b9\u03bd\u1f7d\u03c3\u03ba\u03c9\u03c3\u03b9\u03bd<\/a>, a form of \u03b3\u03b9\u03bd\u03ce\u03c3\u03ba\u03c9<\/a>)<\/em> you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you sent.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Greek word translated know <\/em>in the phrase We know<\/em> was not the same as \u03b3\u03b9\u03bd\u1f7d\u03c3\u03ba\u03c9\u03c3\u03b9\u03bd<\/a> above.\u00a0 Rather, it was \u03bf\u1f34\u03b4\u03b1\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd<\/a> (a form of \u03b5\u1f34\u03b4\u03c9<\/a>), to know by seeing or experiencing.\u00a0 John was not describing a rule to obey in my own strength so much as a sign to recognize that I had crossed over from death to life<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The second definition of \u1f00\u03b3\u03b1\u03c0\u03ac\u03c9<\/a> in the Koine Greek Lexicon<\/a> online is \u201cto accept the authority of (someone), display respect for (someone).\u201d\u00a0 Though \u201cbelieving\u201d my fellow Christians<\/em> \u201cwere right and I was wrong\u201d would eventually become somewhat problematic, I probably should have recognized, or would have benefitted from recognizing, this insight as at least the beginning of the love of God stirring within me, an aspect of the fruit of the Holy Spirit<\/a> residing in me.<\/p>\n

I have argued alternatively that fellow Christians <\/em>was too restrictive or not restrictive enough a translation of \u03c4\u03bf\u1f7a\u03c2<\/a> \u1f00\u03b4\u03b5\u03bb\u03c6\u03bf\u1f7b\u03c2<\/a> (KJV: the brethren<\/em>).\u00a0 Regardless, it doesn\u2019t alter Jesus\u2019 teaching (Matthew 5:43-45 NET):<\/p>\n

You have heard that it was said, \u2018Love (\u1f00\u03b3\u03b1\u03c0\u1f75\u03c3\u03b5\u03b9\u03c2<\/a>, another form of \u1f00\u03b3\u03b1\u03c0\u03ac\u03c9)<\/em> your neighbor\u2019 and \u2018hate your enemy.\u2019 \u00a0But I say to you, love (\u1f00\u03b3\u03b1\u03c0\u1fb6\u03c4\u03b5<\/a>, another form of \u1f00\u03b3\u03b1\u03c0\u03ac\u03c9)<\/em> your enemy<\/a> and pray for those<\/a> who persecute you [Table<\/a>]<\/em>, so that you may be like your Father in heaven<\/a>, since he causes the sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous [Table<\/a>]<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As a rule to obey in my own strength, loving my enemies seems daunting if not even a little stupid.\u00a0 But to be like my Father in heaven, loving with the love that flows from his Spirit dwelling within me, is completely doable despite the how-to-do-that <\/em>being a little tricky to learn.\u00a0 John was explicitly clear about the quality of this love (1 John 3:16 NET):<\/p>\n

We have come to know love (\u1f00\u03b3\u1f71\u03c0\u03b7\u03bd<\/a>, a form of \u1f00\u03b3\u03ac\u03c0\u03b7<\/a>)<\/em> by this: that Jesus laid down his life for us; thus we ought to lay down[4]<\/sup><\/a><\/em> our lives for our fellow Christians.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Greek word translated We have come to know<\/em> is \u1f10\u03b3\u03bd\u1f7d\u03ba\u03b1\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd<\/a> (another form of \u03b3\u03b9\u03bd\u03ce\u03c3\u03ba\u03c9<\/a>), like that they know<\/em> (\u03b3\u03b9\u03bd\u1f7d\u03c3\u03ba\u03c9\u03c3\u03b9\u03bd<\/a>, a form of \u03b3\u03b9\u03bd\u03ce\u03c3\u03ba\u03c9) you, the only true God<\/em>\u2026\u00a0 So I have everything Jesus said and did in the Gospel narratives to define this love<\/em> as well as\u00a0the Holy Spirit\u2019s verbal definition given through Paul (1 Corinthians 13:1-13 NET):<\/p>\n

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but I do not have love (\u1f00\u03b3\u1f71\u03c0\u03b7\u03bd, a form of \u1f00\u03b3\u03ac\u03c0\u03b7)<\/em>, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. \u00a0And if I have prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so that I can remove[5]<\/sup><\/a> <\/em>mountains, but do not have love (\u1f00\u03b3\u1f71\u03c0\u03b7\u03bd, a form of \u1f00\u03b3\u03ac\u03c0\u03b7)<\/em>, I am nothing. \u00a0If<\/a> I give away everything I own, and if I give over my body in order to boast<\/a>, but do not have love (\u1f00\u03b3\u1f71\u03c0\u03b7\u03bd, a form of \u1f00\u03b3\u03ac\u03c0\u03b7)<\/em>, I receive no benefit [Table<\/a>]<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Love (\u1f00\u03b3\u1f71\u03c0\u03b7)<\/em> is patient, love (\u1f00\u03b3\u1f71\u03c0\u03b7)<\/em> is kind, it is not envious. \u00a0Love (\u1f00\u03b3\u1f71\u03c0\u03b7)<\/em> does not brag, it is not puffed up. \u00a0It is not rude, it is not self-serving, it is not easily angered or resentful. \u00a0It is not glad about injustice, but rejoices in the truth. \u00a0It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.<\/p>\n

Love (\u1f00\u03b3\u1f71\u03c0\u03b7)<\/em> never ends<\/a>. \u00a0But if there are prophecies, they will be set aside; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be set aside [Table<\/a>]<\/em>. \u00a0For[6]<\/sup><\/a><\/em> we know in part, and we prophesy in part, but when what is perfect comes,[7]<\/sup><\/a><\/em> the partial will be set aside. \u00a0When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. \u00a0But when I became an adult, I set aside childish ways. \u00a0For now we see in a mirror indirectly, but then we will see face to face. \u00a0Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, just as I have been fully known. \u00a0And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love (\u1f00\u03b3\u1f71\u03c0\u03b7)<\/em>. \u00a0But the greatest of these is love (\u1f00\u03b3\u1f71\u03c0\u03b7)<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

John continued (1 John 3:17 NET):<\/p>\n

But whoever has the world\u2019s possessions and sees his fellow Christian in need and shuts off his compassion against him, how can the love (\u1f00\u03b3\u1f71\u03c0\u03b7)<\/em> of God reside in such a person?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It was exceptionally childish<\/a> of me as a do-it-yourself-Christian to think that I could love like God by turning Paul\u2019s definition of love into rules<\/a> I would obey in my own strength.\u00a0 John was fairly clear here, writing about the love of God<\/em> that might reside <\/em>(\u03bc\u1f73\u03bd\u03b5\u03b9<\/a>, another form of \u03bc\u03ad\u03bd\u03c9<\/a>) in a person (much like eternal life).\u00a0 Here one does not manufacture the love but possibly shuts off<\/em> (\u03ba\u03bb\u03b5\u1f77\u03c3\u1fc3<\/a>, a form of \u03ba\u03bb\u03b5\u03af\u03c9<\/a>) his compassion<\/em>.\u00a0 I wonder if I should consider his <\/em>(\u03b1\u1f50\u03c4\u03bf\u1fe6<\/a>, a form of \u03b1\u1f50\u03c4\u03cc\u03c2<\/a>) here as a reference to God.<\/p>\n

John continued (1 John 3:18-20 NET):<\/p>\n

Little children,[8]<\/sup><\/a><\/em> let us not love (\u1f00\u03b3\u03b1\u03c0\u1ff6\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd, a form of \u1f00\u03b3\u03b1\u03c0\u03ac\u03c9) <\/em>with word or with tongue but in deed and truth. \u00a0And by this we will know[9]<\/sup><\/a><\/em> that we are of the truth and will convince our conscience[10]<\/sup><\/a><\/em> in his presence, that if our conscience condemns us, that God is greater than our conscience and knows all things.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As a child I had adapted my understanding of the meaning of my elders\u2019 words to better accommodate what they actually did<\/a>.\u00a0 As a do-it-yourself-Christian I understood word <\/em>(\u03bb\u1f79\u03b3\u1ff3<\/a>, a form of \u03bb\u03cc\u03b3\u03bf\u03c2<\/a>) and tongue <\/em>(\u03b3\u03bb\u1f7d\u03c3\u03c3\u1fc3<\/a>, a form of \u03b3\u03bb\u1ff6\u03c3\u03c3\u03b1<\/a>) as faith, and deed <\/em>(\u1f14\u03c1\u03b3\u1ff3<\/a>, a form of \u1f14\u03c1\u03b3\u03bf\u03bd<\/a>) and truth <\/em>(\u1f00\u03bb\u03b7\u03b8\u03b5\u1f77\u1fb3<\/a>) as my own works.\u00a0 So, by <\/em>our own works we will know <\/em>(\u03b3\u03bd\u03c9\u03c3\u1f79\u03bc\u03b5\u03b8\u03b1<\/a>, a form of \u03b3\u03b9\u03bd\u03ce\u03c3\u03ba\u03c9<\/a>) that we are of the truth<\/em> (\u1f00\u03bb\u03b7\u03b8\u03b5\u1f77\u03b1\u03c2<\/a>, a form of \u1f00\u03bb\u03ae\u03b8\u03b5\u03b9\u03b1) and will convince our conscience in his presence<\/em>.\u00a0 The only sense I could make of the next verse then was that God would forgive us for not loving like God in our own strength.<\/p>\n

<\/a>The idea that we would actually love like God in his strength by his Holy Spirit eluded me, as did what I misconstrued as the goal of Christian faith and obedience\u2014to get God to do what we want\u2014since I failed so miserably to love like God in my own strength (1 John 3:21, 22 NET):<\/p>\n

Dear friends, if our conscience does not condemn us,[11]<\/sup><\/a><\/em> we have confidence in the presence of God, and whatever we ask we receive from[12]<\/sup><\/a><\/em> him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing to him.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And the one who sent me is with me<\/em>, Jesus said. \u00a0He<\/em>[13]<\/sup><\/a> has not left me alone because I always do those things that please him<\/em>.[14]<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0 The Greek words translated those things that please<\/em> here and the things that are pleasing <\/em>above were \u03c4\u1f70<\/a> \u1f00\u03c1\u03b5\u03c3\u03c4\u1f70<\/a>.\u00a0 This connection was troubling since Jesus seemed to credit his perfect obedience with the fact that the Father has not left me alone<\/em>.\u00a0 But it became enlightening as well as I began to suspect that God had not left me alone even during my prodigal years when I had claimed to be an atheist.\u00a0 I searched for some reason to explain it since I was unpersuadable that I\u2019m so much more adorable than Jesus.<\/p>\n

John continued (1 John 3:23, 24 NET):<\/p>\n

Now this is his commandment: that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love (\u1f00\u03b3\u03b1\u03c0\u1ff6\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd<\/a>, a form of \u1f00\u03b3\u03b1\u03c0\u03ac\u03c9)<\/em> one another, just as he gave us the commandment. \u00a0And the person who keeps his commandments resides in God, and God in him. \u00a0Now by this we know (\u03b3\u03b9\u03bd\u1f7d\u03c3\u03ba\u03bf\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd<\/a>, another form of \u03b3\u03b9\u03bd\u03ce\u03c3\u03ba\u03c9)<\/em> that God resides in us: by the Spirit he has given us.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Over time it became harder and harder to believe that my faith and obedience caused me to reside in God and He in me.\u00a0 Slowly, I began to suspect that the Holy Spirit He had given me was God residing in me and the cause of my residing in Him.\u00a0 My faith and obedience, such as they were, were the result of his presence, and signs that it was so.\u00a0 For from him and through him and to him are all things. \u00a0To him be glory forever! \u00a0Amen<\/em>.[15]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n
