Living from Spirit as Christ – Part 2
The Exchanged Life
Last week we saw where we become Christ in human form from Gal. 2:20
Christ in Paul form.
Christ living His life through all who call upon the name of the Lord.
A Shared Life – Col. 3:4
This is radical, your life has been transformed, and continues to transform.
New life, new creation, new man...
It is an exchanged life, not a changed life, His for ours – Isaiah 61:3-Gal. 2:20
Let the weak say I am strong, let the poor say I am rich, the sick say I am healed, let us say who He is and believe we are as He is.
We exchange history – we all have history, we are molded by the things in our past, the events, people, places etc.
We died, we were raised, newness of life, with not a new history, but His history. We exchanged history and share in His eternity.
I am no longer affected by or identified with my history, thus the death.
All He has accomplished on earth and now is in heaven
Jesus did not identify with Joseph, or earth, but His Father and the kingdom. He lived from heaven’s identity as a son not a slave, as divine not just human.
We see this in union, or agriculturally speaking in grafting.
Romans 11:17, 19-20, 23-24
A dead branch has no history, but once it gets grafted, the tree’s history is now shared with the once dead, now alive branch.
John 15:1-5
Christ who is our life...
If you miss this, you will continue the lie, the illusion, a life apart when all the while you're one with...
Jerusalem, they rejected Him as their life, and could not live out union, and was separated, cut off, unbelief, house left desolate.
