New Life – By responding yes to grace, we have become partakers of the Divine Nature, and our past has stopped being, our past is actually dead, as it died and was buried with Christ. We are New Creation people. In the first creation, in the Garden of Eden, it took six days to make the first creation. It took three days and three nights to perfect the New Creation. Everything in that first creation was the work of God. Everything in this New Creation is of God, man had no part in it . . . only that he accepts, receives, and lives in it.
We have been born of God by the Spirit. We have been born into the Family of God. We have received remission of everything that we ever did in our past lives. We have been made New Creations, created in Christ Jesus.
It is our spirit, our real self, the heart of our true self, that has been recreated. We have become a New Spirit, a New Self, a New Creation. This is far beyond forgiveness of sins. This is the complete death of our Old Man inherited from Adam and a New Life of Christ birthed into us from the incorruptible seed of Christ. The Bible declares, “Wherefore if any man is in Christ, there is a New Creation, the old things have passed away, Behold, they have become new.” Did you notice that strange word, “Behold”? That is an exclamation of surprise and wonder. New life has happened in us.
God’s Riches at Christ’s Expense means that Jesus through his perfect finished work of grace has given to us all things. Everything we need for life and godliness is in Christ and Christ is in us. We have now become partakers of the divine nature.
Grace gives us – new life, new birth, joy, fullness, union, adoption, A new heart, A new spirit, presence, A new nature, righteousness, love, faith, A sound mind, strength, holiness, blessings, power, authority, inheritance, worth, transformation, qualifications, anointing, belonging, acceptance, freedom, peace, security, gratitude, protection, relationship, light, intimacy, healing, wholeness, satisfaction, access, confidence, courage, redemption, boldness, liberty, hope, expectancy, kindness, delight, desire, remission, forgiveness and every promise of God.
Christ came to give us all He is. Not just all He was, but all He now is! Not in the world to come, not in the sweet by-and-by somewhere in the sky but right here, right now.
Living Grace
