Boanerges

Luk 12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.


We indeed can be spiritually united with Christ. Our souls can only experience that as we are renewed in our minds. If we have an unclean conscience this does indeed keep us from approaching God but this problem is on our end. He promises us to forgive us and cleanse us from our iniquities which is the tendency to sin. He also promised that He would not remember our sins after we repent and confess- so there we are forgiven but may still be feeling to guilty to come near the Father as He waits for His prodigal to come home- or we may be wasting our time trying to do penance or perform some act to make ourselves feel good enough to come near (though He has already forgiven and forgotten). We have never had this ability and never will and yet we are excepted in the beloved on the basis of the goodness of His Son imparted to us.

Joh 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Php 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

If we believe God we will see things come to pass that are quite impossible for us in our own strength. His Word and promise is good and will not fail.
There is one way to walk in the perfect will of our Father and that is (like the example Jesus gave us) to walk in total obedience to and complete submission to the Holy Spirit. It is as we submit our hearts and lives that we abide in the heavenly vine and the very life of God flows in us causing us to grow and bear godly fruit for His kingdom.

Gal 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh
