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.
Grace is about God and His nature. It is not a concept, neither is it something that can be understood through our mental faculties. The true revelation of grace comes by a relationship with the Father through Jesus. Grace is an experience of the goodness of God. It is something we are living in, as new creation. Grace is the life of the New Man.
If you’re born-again, you are IN eternal life. You’re not going to ‘get’ eternal life, or ‘enter’ into it. You are IN Him. He is Life. You cannot have any more life than you do now. You are One with Him. He is One with you. Life is not a journey of ‘surviving’ this world or going through the motions. It’s not about doing your thing until one fine day you ‘graduate’ to heaven. Life is about experiencing the heart of the Father and seeing Him for all that He is. It’s about experiencing Him. It’s about ‘knowing’ Him in a living, personal relationship as a son. It’s about knowing Jesus the perfect Son and Lord.
As sons, we have the Spirit of sonship because of whom we can call God, Father. Experiencing the reality of Jesus, the person, in a tangible living relationship is why we can manifest Him confidently. Jesus lives in and through us. Our mind is His mind. Our heart is really His heart. We know the Father through the Spirit of Jesus. He gives us that revelation of true relationship. We can experience that relationship through His heart and mind.
Your mind may periodically paint a reality with information it gathers from our physical world and it’s different from what your Father tells you. It’s not the truth and it doesn’t matter! It doesn’t matter if it comes into your mind, it doesn’t matter if you still think about it. You are spirit — that’s your reality. That’s all you know, and it’s all that matters. Your reality is what your new nature tells you, not what your mind says!
