You Have Divine Life
For the wages of sin is death;
but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord [Romans 6:23]
.
In our fellowship with the Father
and the son, Jesus Christ, we’ve been given something free, and that’s life
eternal: “And this is the record , that God has given to us eternal life, and
this life is in his son. He that hath the son hath life; and he that hath not
the son of God hath not life” [1 john 5:11-12]. What is eternal life? It’s the
life and nature of God-the quality of the divine life. In the world, there’s
the animal life and the plant life. There’s also the natural human life.
However, according to the scriptures, there’s the God-type of life, and that’s
what He’s given us.
When you were born again,
something actually transpired in the realm of the spirit. Your human life was
supplanted by the divine life. This is the reality. It’s one of the reasons
Christianity isn’t a religion; being born again is an actual transformation; a
real spiritual birth: “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:
old things are passes away; behold, all things become new” [2 Corinthians
5:17].
The word, “ creature” means
“strange living thing” : something that can’t really be described; a new
species or type of being that’s born of God; that’s who you are.
The Bible says, “Of his own begat he us with the word of truth, that we
should be a kind of firstfruits of his creature” [James 1:18]. “First fruits “
means ”the first and best. “
The Apostle John declared in 1
john 5:13, “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of
the son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may
believe on the name of the son of God.” Why was it so important for him to let
us know we have the God-life? It’s
because you can’t enjoy the benefit , the power, and the influence of that life
except you have it.
Philemon 1:6 says, “That the communication
of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing
which is in you in Christ Jesus.” Acknowledge and affirm that you have, and can
live the God-life: the life of righteousness, praise, dominion, and glory.
Hallelujah.
Confession
I’m a partaker of the divine
nature; I have the very essence and character of divinity. The indestructible,
impregnable, and indomitable life of God is in me. I’m thus programmed and
positioned for the transcendent life, dispensing the realities and verities of
God’s kingdom. Glory to God!
