If we had nothing but the Old Testament, all religion would be subjective. By this, I mean everything that is Godly would have to be earned. For this to happen, the law would have to work two ways. One, to get anything from God, you would have to keep the law. Two, if you did not keep the law...
Would pervert the gospel: this is the only place the word pervert is found in scripture. The way the world is today that word to most people would speak of some sort of deviant. But the scripture is clear on the matter.
Galatians 1:7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and...
Ephesians 1:1-3
1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3 Among whom also we all had...
1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
Ephesians chapter 1 is the most Christ centered chapter in all of the Bible.
If you only had this portion of scripture you could understand everything you would need...
Learning to live life in and through your nature may take a lifetime of learning.
It becomes very dependent upon the believer and the amount they are willing to yield their mind to the Holy Spirit, Romans 6:16
16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are...
The born again believer is free in spirit as God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit.
Because this is what the Father has always wanted for His own offspring.
Believers need to read the Epistles so they will be able to live life in total freedom through "Christ in you" as our Father...
The only problem in life as a believer you will ever have is not knowing who you are. For those that have an understanding, when we give the mind to something else other than christ in us, it is the forgetter that works better than our rememberer. I'm saying you forget who you are alot easier...
Salvation is a free gift to all that will receive it.
Salvation happened at the cross and is the greatest event to ever take place in the world.
It is the fullfilling of the great and glorious plan of the Father before the foundation of the world, Eph. 1:4
4 According as he hath chosen us in...
When we talk about a Christ in you Spirit-nature, we are talking about the nature that fits the new creation of 2 Cor. 5:17.
The new creation man is "christ" in "you" which is a shared nature.
It is the same nature the Father and the Son shared, John 14:9
9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so...
There are a few things to look at concerning your walk in christ now. We have been discussing many aspects of the Christian life.
None as deep as the christ in you, but many things will lead you to understand who you are as a Christian.
The Epistles of Paul have three main aspects.
First...
Gal. 5:19-21
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I...
As we stated before the mind functions either by the "knowledge of good and evil, or Grace (revelation knowledge).
When I first came into this understanding of "Christ as the life of the believer," and that's what it is 'an understanding,' I could see Christ in other believers for the first...
The mystery is the same thing as "the mind of Christ" a secret at one time and a mystery hidden from everyone including the Angels of heaven.
When Jesus was approached by Nicodemus, Nicodemus ask a question. Jesus ignoring his question, begins to talk about being "born again" for the first...
Nature comes from a Father, John 3:6,
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
This of course describes a birthing, which also means that the source of the birthing is a father.
Another place this can be seen is in Adam's relationship with...
If you have never thought about that statement before, or had it added to your understanding, it will be very important for you to know that this existed before the foundation of the world.
Before anything was created, heaven, earth, universe, before anything was created , God was Father.
How...
A very good place to see the exchange of nature's is in Romans 7:1-4,
7 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?
2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth...
The renewed mind brings knowledge of the joined unto non separated life, 1 Cor. 6:17,
17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
This new knowledge brings a life of joy unspeakable and full of glory.
Why would this new knowledge be so important?
It becomes something the believer...
Being taught and revelation are two completely different things, both are mind components but one produces an imitation while the other allows the Son-nature to manifest itself.
The mind can control the learning process, but the mind cannot control the revelation process, Gal. 1:12.
I know it...
Why is the renewed mind so important to the born again? The renewed mind will be the only mind the "Christ in you" will have for life expression.
Yielding the mind to the HolySpirit is a foundational process, when the mind relinquishs control it has had to have over the sin-nature then the...
According to Romans 6:6 the old sin nature was destroyed.
What is the body of sin? The body of sin is; when the mind is giving in to the sin nature.
The old sin nature has been totally replaced by a new nature that comes directly from God the father, by Christ in you.
The new nature, Christ in...
