A bit of Enlightenment #2

[Behold]

Being born again, is a eternal spiritual union between the spirit in a person, and God and Christ and the Holy Spirit.
All have become "ONE".
God causes this.... He causes a spiritual rebirth of our spirit into His Spirit, by the Holy Spirit.
This is "SALVATION".
Being born again, is a part of the end result of that happening, and our Born again Spirit, is sealed there, by spiritual birth.


Here is another way to think of it....or to perceive it.

Colossians 2 says that there is a spiritual circumcision, "made without hands" that has separated our born again spirit, from our carnal nature and our old man, who is "crucified with Christ".
This spiritual "cutting away" is to become "one with God". "in Christ". = Born again.

So, our body is down here, and our mind is down here, yet our born again Spirit is "seated in heavenly places in Christ".


Here is another way to understand this...

The born again SPIRIT, has been ...>"Translated from darkness.............>TO LIGHT"..
The born again Spirit has become in union with Christ... for eternity.
This is why you can't lose your salvation... as there is no way to end spiritual union with God because He has delivered to us the Holy Blood of Jesus as an eternal atonement that always keeps us RIGHTEOUS.
Christ is the "Light of the World'.....and the born again, are "IN CHRIST", having become born again "children of the Light".

 

[Behold]

Here is the simplicity that is "in Christ"... as Paul teaches.

God who is Righteous, wants "all who have sinned", to become restored into Spiritual Union with Himself.

He can't join Himself, Spiritually, to SIN.....and "ALL have sinned"..

So, God created Salvation, through Christ, to deal with our sin, so that is is forever resolved.

Like this..

1.) "God hath made JESUS to be sin for us, so that 'IN HIM"... we might become the Righteousness of God"

Now, notice that Salvation is designed to cause you to become "the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God"..

And this is to become 'IN CHRIST".

A.) So, Jesus dies for your sin, and that solves it.. as Jesus is your SIN Bearer... who was JUDGED to DEATH on The Cross.... for ALL YOUR SIN..
And now being "made free from sin".. God can join Himself to you, Spiritually, and that is you being given the "new birth" as born again, whereby you become a "NEW Creation" "IN CHRIST"... as "ONE with God".

Thank you : JESUS !!

Thank you again @Behold for simply telling it like it is. Those who make it complicated and those who post suppositions are doing nobody any favours.
Jesus didn't make it complicated and we are to come to him as children - just accepting; not arguing or supposing, not making up our own theories. Just as child accepts the love of a loving daddy we can come to God through Jesus.

Children of the light has a powerful meaning to me. People do not grasp what it means. To me it means being one with God because God surrounds Himself with light.

 

[Behold]

Children of the light has a powerful meaning to me. People do not grasp what it means. To me it means being one with God because God surrounds Himself with light.

"God exists IN LIGHT"... and the born again are "Translated from darkness....TO = Light." = Into it. (Theirs).

This is what it means to be born again, as "ONE with God" "IN Christ".

This is what it means to be "seated in Heavenly Places"...

It simply means that God and Jesus are the Spiritual KOG, and because the believer is BORN AGAIN into THEM... then the born again exist as they exist, FOREVER.

This is why the NT teaches that the born again are "Heirs of God" and "Joint heirs with JESUS".

This is why the born again are become "Children of THE LIGHT"...

And :""""""Jesus is THE Light of the World..."""""

And that is why you find this verse...as "the new creation in Christ"... explained..

= "As JESUS IS.... so are the BORN AGAIN.... in THIS world"..

And that spiritual reality is why we are told to "be in the world but not OF IT".. and that is because the born again are not of it, as we are "in Christ".
So, when a believer tries to FIT into the World, it wont work.. it'll just be miserable...and stay that way.
