We were destined to live our lives as slaves of the devil, who holds the power of death, held captive by fear, and cast into the lake of fire of the second death. However, through God’s great mercy, through the death and resurrection of Christ, we were transferred from the devil, who held the power of death, into Christ. Hallelujah.
And in Christ, we have been seated in the heavenly places.
Hebrews chapter 3 refers to us as holy brothers who have received the partakers of the heavenly calling.
And He sent the Spirit of truth within us, so that the Word became Christ within us through the Spirit of truth. It is Immanuel.
Christ is in us, and we are in Christ; We have become a new creation and have eternal life.
If the Son is in the Father, we are in the Son, and the Son is in us, then Christ becomes our righteousness, holiness, and redemption.
Therefore, if we hold firmly to hope and assurance until the end, we are the house of God. We become partakers of Christ. Hallelujah.
So we approach the throne of grace boldly to receive mercy and to obtain grace to help us in our time of need. Hallelujah
Glory, glory, Hallelujah, glory, glory, Hallelujah
We are the praise of God's glory.
As the Apostle Paul says in Romans 7, we must mourn to be saved from dead body. We must offer up crying, tears, supplications, and desires. Then God delivered us and delivery us and will delivery us from death.
If we have the Spirit of Christ, we belong to Christ; however, while the body is dead because of sin, the spirit is alive because of righteousness.
Therefore, we must seek the Lord's life to be saved from our dead bodies.
The life in Christ saves us from our bodies of death.
The law of the Spirit of life in Christ sets us free from the law of sin and death.
To do so, as stated in 2 Corinthians 4, if we bear the Lord's death, the Lord's life is manifested in our bodies and mortal bodies.
The life of Christ bears our weaknesses and diseases. Hallelujah
By denying myself, taking up my cross, and following the Lord, we obtain the Lord's Spirit and life.
Christ is the life-giving Spirit. He is the fountain of life.
We must hold fast to Christ. We must recognize the fact that through faith and baptism we have become one body and one spirit with Christ, and become partakers of Christ. Hallelujah.
Therefore, we come to partakers of his holiness.
The discipline in Hebrews chapter 12 is intended to enable us to partakers of God's holiness.
Without holiness, one cannot see God. Only those who partakers of holiness see God's glory. Glory, glory, Hallelujah, glory, glory, Hallelujah.
This is the praise of God's glory that we speak of in Ephesians chapter 1.
Because we are sons of God, the Father disciplines us. For our benefit.
How do we partakers of holiness?
We become holy through the truth.
We already have the Spirit of truth.
Through the Spirit of truth, we have Christ, the Son. Through faith and baptism, we have become one body and one spirit with Christ.
If we hold fast to this new covenant, we are partakers of Christ, partakers of holiness, and partakers of God's glory.
Glory, glory, Hallelujah. Glory, glory, Hallelujah.
We are the praise of God's glory.
I pray that we may know the fact that God's grace has been given to us in Christ.
