"Stand fast in the liberty wherein is Christ ..." (Galatians 5:1)
The law of the Spirit of Life has made me free from the law of sin and death. The law of the Spirit of Life is revealed in the New Testament whereas the law of sin and death is found in the Old Covenant. Moses presented the Old Covenant and similarly, Moses was faithful in his delivery. In this capacity, Moses was a servant of God fulfilling his appointed ministry.
The Law of the Spirit of Life was delivered by God Himself -- as a Son.
Yes, God Himself was manifest in the flesh as a Son. I Timothy 3:16 states: "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory."
As also stated in the scriptures, in the Son did dwell ALL the fullness of the Godhead bodily. (Colossians 2:9) JESUS being the manifestation of God in the flesh. God being found in fashion as a Son. God being in Christ did not think it robbery to be equal with God who is Spirit. For they indeed are ONE and the same.
Not two persons as the modern day religious culture would have us believe. Indeed, God purposely veiled Himself in flesh in an endeavour to reveal Himself to mankind - to you and I that He is pure, holy, loving, long suffering, compassionate and merciful. That He Himself is the Author of love!
Indeed, JESUS was the life of God! No man has seen God at any time so God revealed Himself in the same fashion even as we are. JESUS saying to His disciples, that if you have seen Me then you have seen the Father. (John 14:6-12) Jesus said, "I and My Father are ONE!" (John 10:30) He that has the Son receives the Father also.
Surely natural life dictates that this is so. For if you naturally look at me - Bill - I am a son - I am also a father in a son's body and also the one who is speaking now Bill as the spirit, having my life in Bill the same son's body. I am not three distinct and separate persons. I am one person. And likewise, neither are you three persons.
Moreover, I am one, and I have only one given name. That name is not father nor son nor spirit but rather my name is Bill.
So from whence comes the problem? The difficulty is that the church fathers messed things up, and as a result of their ignorance (willingly or otherwise) they have led multitudes of people into error. They have left aside the Word of God and are entrenched in teaching error. Read the scriptures for yourself. JESUS said, "My Word is Spirit and it is Life!" The entrance of My Word brings forth life. Indeed, you shall know the truth, and upon knowing these truths, these truths shall set you free.
Spirit Life then is bounded by a law. That Law is that believers continue in the Word spoken and delivered to mankind by the Lord God Himself. After His kindness and love, God willingly became our Saviour. (Titus 3:4-7)
Continue in HIS Word today! Remain steadfast in the apostle's doctrine (Acts 2:36-47) That way you will not be tossed to and fro because you will be standing on the Rock -- the Rock that is Jesus.
Stand in the offering plate!
