Christ Jesus has come

1 John 3:24 Those who obey his commands live in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us; we know it by the Spirit he gave us.

The Spirit of obedience, the Spirit of love, the Spirit of truth, the Spirit (name) of Jesus, if we have this Spirit in us then we know that it is the Spirit of God living in us, and it acknowledges that Christ Jesus has come in us, the flesh.

Some might disagree, but scripture doesn’t.

1 Cor. 15:46 The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual.

2 Cor. 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

 5:16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

2 Cor. 13:5 Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you – unless, of course, you fail the test?

It is unfortunate, to say the least, if one thinks of the Coming of the Lord as a physical advent rather than a Spiritual event. If we think of it as a physical advent, it is like thinking of it as a future event in which we will be delivered from worldly evil without a prerequisite to repent as if we had nothing to do with that evil existence. As a Spiritual event our love for evil dies and is, in a sense, perceived by some as work, energy spent, sacrifice, and suffering, (repentance), but is actually an act of God.

The Coming of the Lord is a Spiritual event, and is a gift from God, in other words, Love will give you heavenly results. The moment the Spirit of Love comes into you, you are changed and that is a Spiritual event. And when everything is brought under control God will be all in all.
