This is all I know. The mystical being replaced by Christ, Christ being infused into my soul, yadda, yadda, I don't understand, neither can I verify. |
So let me flesh this out a little. Suppose the Lord speaks to you about a post, it was too harsh. So, because you love the Lord you obey and apologize for the post. As a result of your obedience your thoughts, feelings, tastes and habits change to be more aligned with Him. As a result the fellowship is strengthened which in turn "renews" the process.
So then, wouldn't spending time in ways that "strengthen the fellowship" between you and the Lord optimize the process? For example, wouldn't reading the Bible help? Wouldn't fellowship with other Christians help? Wouldn't singing, praying, worshipping all help? Isn't this how you understand "Baptized into the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit", that it means we live a life immersed in a realm full of the Triune God?
