See with New Eyes — We’ve Been Redeemed for God!

Listen

Redemption from death and the bondage brought on us by sin — has been Accomplished. The Life and Death of Jesus, has made a Way for all people to ‘Enter the Kingdom Realm’ and to enjoy a Living Relationship with God.

This may be something you’ve never thought about, or been taught about, but it is Truth!

Jesus came to demonstrate Abundant Life with God! He demonstrated humanity Living in Union with the Spirit of God. He showed us what all the Saints and Prophets, and what the Remnant Israel was believing and pointing toward.

His Life was both hidden with Christ in God and His Life was Christ. Jesus was the Son who was the Christ of God. He was the Glory of the People Israel. He became the Expectation of those who Knew God. The Believing Jews, those Awakened to God, knew one day there would be a Messiah, an Anointed Son who would Live Fully United with the LORD and cancel the debt of sin through His death.

The idea of us gaining Eternal Life on earth and living Reconciled to God is a little more obscure. It still remains a bit of a mystery — but that is changing. God is unveiling Truth.

The Bible is written in parables and symbols. It is meant to draw you into it so that, you become attentive to and dependent on God to unveil His Truth to you. Scripture is only discernible when you are Awakened Spiritually. This makes it hard to see the Truth, because how would you know that? Until of course — you do.

Paul, one of the most important disciples of the New Covenant Age, puts it like this — there is a mystery which has been hidden from past ages but now has been manifested to God’s saints. This mystery is this, “Christ in you is the Hope of Glory.”

Did you see Truth there? Christ has been in us, but hidden.

In order to be Glory, to Be God’s Light, His Love and Kingdom Hope, we must be rejoined to Christ, or to the Spirit of God because God cannot give His Glory ‘to another.’ It is revealed through those who Live in Unity with Him.

So the question is who is Christ and how can we Live United to Him?

This is the question of infinite importance. Why? Because Knowing Christ and Living with your Life hidden with Christ in God is the charge to God’s Resurrection Community.

Life in Unity is how we Become the Kingdom Community of God. It is how we Learn to Manifest the Life of Christ ourselves. It is how we Learn to Speak by the Power of God and Live the Blameless Way which is to say, Live as the Fullness of God’s Truth.

If this isn’t quite making sense don’t despair — it can take a lifetime to learn Truth but with God’s Revelation we are confident it can be done faster!

That’s the point of Point to One.

So, the quick answer is Christ is God and God is Christ. Christ is the Seed planted in us at Creation. He is the Rock of Salvation. And the Word that moves us from death to Life. He is the Spirit and Truth that guided Israel. God is Christ, the Word that was Made Fully Manifest in the Son Jesus who was then called the Christ.

From the Beginning to the End of Scripture God is saving humanity. He is the Alpha and Omega who Seeks to be Known among His people. He is the teaching Presence of the Spirit within us who grows us to our Fullest Potential. He is Hope of the Kingdom Power being Realized on earth and today He is — as we believe it — Jesus in us.

Now it’s really confusing right? How could Jesus the man be in us? Well the answer is ‘He’ couldn’t.

But the Spirit that He was as the House of the Lovingkindness of God can. Jesus was the House of the Fullness of God’s Spirit. He was Transformed into the Divine Son of God. He Became the Word that is God made flesh. Conjoined or United with the Holy Spirit of the Living God, the Word within Him, Jesus made Known the Power of the Living LORD God to Dwell in Man and to Manifest the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.

As promised to David, Jesus was the House for God’s Name. The Fullness of God’s Character — the Truth, the Righteousness and the Life that comes from God was Made Known through the Son. Jesus was made Holy, Clean and Pure, Made Perfect or Made Complete, to Fully Represent the Holy Eternal God. By the Spirit of Holiness upon Him, He Manifested God’s Name and the Kingdom Power of God on earth.

He was One with the LORD God. He was Adam Restored. He was the Son of Heaven, a Heavenly Man. He was who we can Be as our Bodies become purified Houses of the Spirit of the Holy One.

The good news is today, we can Be Houses of the Lord Jesus and the Spirit of the Holy God as they are Reunited as One Spirit — the Spirit who is Christ. We can be Made Pure by God with the Meditation of Jesus. The Spirit of Truth that is Awakened within the Believer who looks for His appearing will give them Abundant Eternal Life.

This is why we say See with New Eyes, We’ve Been Redeemed for God!

We are Created to be much more than we may have imagined. We’ve been Redeemed from the curse of spiritual death to Awaken to the Spirit of Truth. In time, as we Grow in our Salvation, we will Learn to Live as God’s Righteousness and Glory!

God through Christ made full in the Beloved Son Reconciled humanity to Himself. Now we can Seek Him and the Transformation that will make us Ambassadors of Reconciliation and the Kingdom of Heaven.

God and His Son are Known through the Body of Christ — especially the Believers who are Awakened and Responsive to the Word who is the LORD God Almighty.

Point to One · Teaching – See with New Eyes – We’ve Been Redeemed for God!

As the Messiah of God, Jesus was Anointed with the Power of God to Speak and Move in perfect Unity with the Spirit of God. He Knew Christ in Himself, which means He Knew the Spirit of God, the living Word that spoke to Him and was Leading and Guiding Him in Spiritual Life. As He completely surrendered His will to do the Will of the Father, He became the Christ of God. He was Living as the Speaker (Horn) of God’s Truth.

Jesus in choosing to Do all that the LORD God Directed Became the Father’s Envoy of Kingdom Life. He Made Known our Potential as Children of the living God.

This is Good News, to Be Awakened to Spiritual Life is now everyone’s Potential. We’ve been Redeemed for God. Our Potential is to be Taught and Guided through Life by the Almighty, Everlasting LORD who is God. We are Created for an Abiding Relationship with God who is the LORD of Hosts. We are the Hosts of Heaven.

By one man Adam, all humanity became ‘living souls’ consigned to the flesh realm. Today, by the last Adam, or Jesus the man from Heaven, Forgiveness of sin has been Accomplished and all humanity is Reconciled to the LORD. 1 Corinthians 15, 2 Corinthians 5. Having access to the Holy of Holies, we can Learn to Live as ‘Reconciled Ambassadors’ realizing the Spirit Realm of Heaven on earth. The ‘Heavenly Realm’ is meant to be our Home. Hebrews 12.

As we knew Christ as flesh through Jesus, we no longer know Him as thus no more. (2 Corinthians 5 : 16). If any person is in Christ, no longer are they as flesh souls, they are as Spirit Beings carrying the Resurrection Power of the Almighty within themselves. Our Life and our Body is not our own, it belongs to the One who Redeemed us and to the LORD our God to whom He belongs. We are God’s Forgiven Children Reconciled to Him to Live for His Glory and the Kingdom Truth.

The Blood of the Lamb that was Christ Jesus, the Presence of Holy Spirit of the Living God in Flesh, paid for all humanity’s sin. There is no other Sacrifice required, the debt is absolved, propitiation finished. Hebrews 9-11.

The Righteousness credited to us now is the Righteousness that the Holy God Accomplished through Christ Jesus, the Anointed and Beloved Son. And God has established the New Covenant, putting His Law within humanity so they all can Know the LORD from the least to the greatest. And God has, is and will forgive our iniquity and our sin He will remember no more. Forgiven we are Redeemed for His Life, Love and Kingdom Hope to Shine through our Lives.

We are the Father’s Ambassadors of Heaven.

Colossians 3 : 1-17 reads like this:

Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.

Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry. For it is because of these things that the wrath of God will come upon the sons of disobedience, and in them you also once walked, when you were living in them. But now you also, put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive speech from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you laid aside the old self with its evil practices, and have put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him— a renewal in which there is no distinction between Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and freeman, but Christ is all, and in all.

So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.

We are created by God to Live with Him in Him and to Realize Jesus as the Firstborn Example of this Life on Earth. Abundant Life, and now Eternal Life helps us to Honor God with all of who we are and Do the things He asks so that all people can Know Him and Become ‘Houses’ of His Truth.

We are created for the Glory of God and the Kingdom of God to be Manifested on earth through us!

When we are ‘dead to our self-will’ and Alive to Christ within us, Knowing the Power of the Holy Spirit upon us, we Become All God intends. We are the ‘All of Christ,’ which is to say, the ‘All’ of the Holy God. Imperfect yet Forgiven, we Live Resurrected or Awakened to the Living God, our Father who Loves us!

Jesus in us is the Presence of the Spirit of Truth.
Here are two important Scripture passages to Know as confirmation of this Truth. Throughout the Point to One Teachings these concepts will be referenced and expounded upon. Read them with an open-heart to hear what the LORD will say to you. You are Loved with an Everlasting Love and God is with you to Lead you forward. He is waiting with open arms on you enter into Relationship with Him!

2 Corinthians 13 : 1-8

This is the third time I am coming to you. Every fact is to be confirmed by the testimony of two or three witnesses. I have previously said when present the second time, and though now absent I say in advance to those who have sinned in the past and to all the rest as well, that if I come again I will not spare anyone, since you are seeking for proof of the Christ who speaks in me, and who is not weak toward you, but mighty in you. For indeed He was crucified because of weakness, yet He lives because of the power of God. For we also are weak in Him, yet we will live with Him because of the power of God directed toward you.

Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you—unless indeed you fail the test? But I trust that you will realize that we ourselves do not fail the test. Now we pray to God that you do no wrong; not that we ourselves may appear approved, but that you may do what is right, even though we may appear unapproved. For we can do nothing against the truth, but only for the truth.

John 14 : 15-23, Jesus speaking says this:

“If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.
I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you. “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. After a little while the world will no longer see Me, but you will see Me; because I live, you will live also. In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.” Judas (not Iscariot) *said to Him, “Lord, what then has happened that You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?” Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him.

Jesus as the Spirit of the living LORD, was the House where Christ Lived. This is an important concept in helping us See ourselves with New Eyes! Jesus was the ‘House for the Name of God.’ He would make the Almighty God known as God’s Kingdom Ambassador. By attentively Hearing the LORD God’s Spirit and Living as He Directed Jesus became the Fulfillment of the Promise made to David by God.

2 Samuel 7 : 12-16 says: “I will raise up your descendant after you, who will come forth from you, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. I will be a father to him and he will be a son to Me; when he commits iniquity, I will correct him with the rod of men and the strokes of the sons of men, but My lovingkindness shall not depart from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before you. Your house and your kingdom shall endure before Me forever; your throne shall be established forever.”

Knowing and understanding ourselves as Spiritual Houses, and even Temples of the Spirit of God will likely change a lot about our intentionality to Learn Christ or to Learn to Host the Presence of the Father and the Son.

The Remnant of God, the Saints and Prophets of the LORD who’ve been completely sold out to this Truth have been martyred and killed just as the Son Jesus was. Today is the day to See with New Eyes, and Hear with Open Ears staying attentive to all that the Holy One is saying to each of us individually.

All people can ‘Know the LORD.’ His Law, the Truth of Righteousness is written on our hearts. As we read Scripture and Awaken to the Truth of the Word with us, Christ within us, we can Learn Directly from God and find the Confirmation we need to become God’s Ambassadors of Glory.

Hallelujah, God is True to His Word and He is bringing those who will Listen through Purification and into Completion. As One People, One Family and One Nation Alive we can Be the ‘All’ of God we are meant to Be! (1 Corinthians 15 : 20-28).

To Live as God’s Righteousness and Glory we Learn to Hear the Spirit of Truth, the Living Word within us, Teach us and Grow us into becoming a person ‘conformed to the Image of the Son. This Truth is from Romans 8.

Jesus was the Image of God on earth. In time, it dawns on us if we are to be conformed to the Image of Jesus, God’s Son that means, we are supposed to be the Image Bearers of God on earth. That takes us to a whole new level of thinking and we realize we are truly Called to Holiness. God’s Word says: “be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; because it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” (1Peter 1 : 15-16).

Optimally we respond to God and Become people being Transformed by the teaching of God with us, in us and the Outcome will be that Christ is made Complete in us. As we really search for it, we find that Being Made Complete in Christ is the Call of Scripture.

Here is Paul’s heart cry:

I beg of you, brethren, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You have done me no wrong; but you know that it was because of a bodily illness that I preached the gospel to you the first time; and that which was a trial to you in my bodily condition you did not despise or loathe, but you received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus Himself. Where then is that sense of blessing you had? For I bear you witness that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me. So have I become your enemy by telling you the truth? They eagerly seek you, not commendably, but they wish to shut you out so that you will seek them. But it is good always to be eagerly sought in a commendable manner, and not only when I am present with you. My children, with whom I am again in labor until Christ is formed in you— Galatians 4 : 12-19

Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I do my share on behalf of His body, which is the church, in filling up what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions. Of this church I was made a minister according to the stewardship from God bestowed on me for your benefit, so that I might fully carry out the preaching of the word of God, that is, the mystery which has been hidden from the past ages and generations, but has now been manifested to His saints, to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. We proclaim Him, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, so that we may present every man complete in Christ. For this purpose also I labor, striving according to His power, which mightily works within me.
Colossians 1 : 24-29

Jesus was the made perfect Son of God. By the Empowerment of the Holy God with Him, He became the ‘Perfecter of Faith.’ He demonstrated Life with Christ, or Life with the Spirit of the Holy God.

Separation from God is being ‘put out of the Garden’ or ‘cast out of Paradise.’ We are now ‘positioned’ to ReEnter Paradise which is the Kingdom of Heaven and Know God with us.
