The tree of the knowledge of good and evil brought about condemnation and guilt in man. Man was subjected to a life of choosing between right and wrong. The purpose of life changed from originally enjoying a relationship with God, to having to choose between good and evil to survive. Jesus restored all things to where the New Man is now living in the abundance of life. Jesus is the Tree of Life.
We are hidden with Christ IN the Father. We emanate Spiritual life to the physical world around us. This glorious manifestation takes place when we are consciously inhabiting the Father. He is the source of life. He is life. The fallen world is in need of repair, restoration and reconciliation. We are portals of God’s glory to this dying world. We are the connection between the Spiritual and physical realms. Sons are life-giving spirits. We exude life wherever we go. It’s in our being. It’s the overflow of relationship with the Father that causes this Life to manifest.
We can only believe information we have received. There are only two sources of information – the physical world, and the Father. The world can only give us information about the physical realm. It cannot reveal Spiritual realities. Only the Spirit can give us Revelation about Eternity – our identity and Jesus! Our belief system is a product of the information we receive, and our lives are a product of our belief system!
The Purpose of Life is relationship with the Father. In that relationship, life finds its meaning. Jesus understood that as He lived and walked the earth. His life and ministry was a product of His relationship with the Father. Jesus came to reconcile us back to the Father and restore the relationship that Adam lost. Life is not primarily about performance and accomplishments, although these are by-products of a healthy relationship with Jesus. We are given a spiritual nature that yearns for eternal revelation – this revelation is the Father.
When you inhabit the Father, there is no urgency! There is no pressure to perform or produce. Inhabiting the Father is: living by the Spirit. He produces the fruit – you just go along for the ride and watch Him live through you. Your life must be a response to His leading. Being led by him never binds you with a need to produce anything. Living in the Spirit means to cooperate with what He is leading you to do, when He wants you to do it – this is when you see the greatest results.
Our citizenship is from Heaven.. we’re not of this world, just as Jesus is. Our home is the Father. We live and move and have our being IN Him. Abiding in Him gives us the ability and authority to manifest all His glory to this fallen world and proclaim Him. The fabric of our being is soaked in the very life of who He is. We’re made of Him – we’re Spirit. We’re made in His Image and likeness – according to Him in righteousness and true Holiness – Ephesians 4:24 (KJV) And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. We cannot be any more like Him – we’re exactly as He is. We’re His sons.
