IN CHRIST WE SHARE IN GOD
16/05/24 13:13
Human beings were made in the image of God to share the life of God in fellowship and joy. Human beings were born of God. Human beings in being redeemed have been re-created in the person of Jesus Christ. This is our re-birth in Christ.
The new creation is real and it is who you are in Christ – not in Adam or Moses. The new creation was in mind before the first creation. The cross and the resurrection of Jesus, is ours to ensure the realisation of the vision God had for sons/daughters before the foundation of the world.
WHAT IS THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE
Christ is the law of the spirit of life. It makes a difference to know that God created us to enjoy our company. Much better than some kind of morbid, religious God who lives to criticise us and ‘be wrath’ because we are poor keepers of the law. Actually, there is no law – not for Christians. But there is a God who is far better than many Believers know. This God has engulfed us in Himself. In this relationship you are in the LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE. This is not words and not the decalogue. It’s Christ our life in spirit and in flesh.
YOUR PERSONHOOD
There is an alpha and omega of you that is entirely of God. Your part is to agree with what God has done with you in Christ. You participate in this spirit and life by eating Christ. This is to say you live from Him by eating the Bread of Life who is Christ. This is the sign and reminder that you are now one substance with Christ. This is the abundance Body of Christ as compared to the poverty mentality of belonging that burdens those in the law.
CORPS OR SPIRIT
‘Jesus said to them, "Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you”’ John 6.53 NIV.
The life of God, the righteousness of God, the healing of God and your sonship from God is entirely Christ your life. God has drawn His sons into Himself to make us as Himself and God has come to live in us so that will be sons and daughters in spirit and in truth. Spirit and truth is not about words, legalisms or ticking boxes. It’s a state of being that results from adoption. This state is called the sons of God.
FABLES
The substitution of the law for Christ our life is an atrocious heresy that hides in religious clothes to pose as a gospel when it is no gospel at all. Just a variation on the lies of the fall – the notion that we can be Godly by eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. We can be Godly but we are so by eating the fruit of the tree of the cross.
UNDILUTED
This is the truth. “The imago Dei lies ahead of each human person and can only be realised in the person of the incarnate Son, Jesus Christ. The imago Dei is our destiny and true telos, not something inherent within each human person, waiting to be realised through some self-effort, self-examination, process of spiritual awakening, or mysticism. The realising of the imago Dei is theosis .. actioned entirely by grace, that is, in the incarnate Son of God.” (1)
The above is what Paul declared. The Gospel is Christ in you.
