Gene Cunningham presented “The Mystery of Godliness” May 11–13, 2018 in Winchester, Virginia.
The statement of Paul in 1 Timothy 3:16 declares that “without controversy great is the mystery of godliness.” The “mystery” began with the birth of Jesus Christ, the eternal Word, becoming flesh. The earthly life of Christ then became the template—the standard for the Christian life lived out through the indwelling and filling ministry of the Holy Spirit. The end result, again defined by the apostle, is the resulting dynamic that “Christ lives in me” (Galatians 2:20). The objective of this study is to bridge the gap between the historical reality of the Incarnation and the spiritual potential for every Christian.

The Transforming Power of Abiding in Christ #4
1Jo 2:7-29. Old commandment-love your neighbor as yourself. Joh 13:34. New commandment-love one another as I have loved you. Overcoming enemies and all the "privileges of the overcomer." To have a powerful spiritual life, we must combine the Holy Spirit (internal) with the Word of God (external). The Father works through the Son, the Son works through the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit works through the Word, and the Word works through the believer.

This series details John's description of our being 'in Him' - abiding in Christ. This contrasts Paul's use of the phrase expressing positional truth. The key verse is 1Jo 2:6 'He who says he abides in Him ought to walk just as He walked.' The series opens many truths in 1st John while covering the entire epistle.
