That sight of pushing a bike with a fixable flat would perfectly illustrate what happens so often in the Church Christ purchased. Believers were:
DESIGNED TO OPERATE BEST WHEN FILLED
Now, apply that to life in Christ. Simply stated–our life in Christ is to live out what God designed us to be. Life is mostly about who we are because of Christ, which determines what we do.
Since God uses the term “filled” in Ephesians 5, as we turn there, we will start to think of that truth illustrated in life.
Ephesians 5:18 (NKJV) And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit,
Filled is the normal state of life we are to pursue as believers. It is not for only the few, it is for all. It is not for only super-saints but rather for every saint, every believer, and each of us today.
