ONE

Pray and ask God to help you comprehend what it means to be one with Him God. You will need His help because your intellect is ruled by reason and will want to resist this revelation. “…the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” (1 Cor 2:14) You are a spirit created in the image and likeness of God. You have a soul and live in a body. But you, the real you is an eternal spirit being. You were made to exist forever and forever you will, with or without God. With God is eternal life and without him is eternal death. When you receive Him you are not just receiving Him as Lord and Savior but are actually receiving Him and all of Him - “...that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.” (Eph 3:19) Not only filled with Him but joined with Him and one in spirit. This is the Glory. “And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one.” (Jn 17:22) And so you may say like Jesus said, “I and my Father are one!”

Eph 5:30-32
30 For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. 31 "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." 32 This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
NKJV

1 Cor 6:15-17
15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not! 16 Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For "the two," He says, "shall become one flesh." 17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.
NKJV

1 Cor 6:17
17 But the person who is united to the Lord becomes one spirit with Him.
AMP

1 Cor 6:17
17 But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit.
