Good morning my Forum Friends. I'm about to post a new thread on the Cross of Jesus Christ and the death that happened on that old cross. So many folk read about the cross and don't realize the impact of death that it represents.
A theological partner & much favored of our Lord has teamed up with me on this thread. His name is Soul man and he and I have already posted this on another Christian Forum. I sought the permission of Administrator Chad to post this thread here, and got it. My thanks to Chad for allowing this critical Truth of the cross and how it effects our daily walk.
Hello all my wonderful Forum Friends. Soul man and I have teamed up to bring to your spiritual understanding some new and refreshing revelation from the Spirit of Almighty God concerning the original purpose of the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.
How did this happen? I'm glad you asked....Recently, Soul man made this statement...."I don't think we will see how deep the cross runs until eternity sets in." He said, "How deep the cross runs." Almost immediately. I believe that the Spirit of our living Lord impressed my heart/mind that He had revelation to share with Soul man and me, to set about an in depth fellowship of study into the depths of the cross of Jesus.
Purpose? To increase our knowledge of death to our old nature that rules our lives instead of the death of the cross which should rule over our new nature in Christ Jesus.
Hoped Results? That each one of us, by Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, will guide us thru revelation truths, this will happen if....Galatians 2:20 "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."
Dr. Kenneth Wuest said "The new life is a Person within a person, living out His life in that person." Which means, Jesus within us, living out His life in us. How can this happen? Only if the death of the cross destroys our our old man, or our old pattern of living.
To start off our (Soul man & my) thread, I'll post a beginning statement from my very good friend Soul man.
Gal 2:20, is keystone to our understanding, Death to The old man.
John 12:24, 24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
Jesus is talking about bringing forth more fruit (the birthing) by the cross.
We know from Old Testament that there needed to be an Atonement for sin and a reconciliation, 2 Cor 5:19,
To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
Romans 6:6, 11 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
We have been crucified with Christ, the old man is dead as Jesus was on the cross. The believer now needs to have a 'reckoning take place in their walk with God.
The cross is a completely finished work of God for mankind, a knowing needs to happen, a soul-mind principle.
Many Folks can not see what Jesus did to the old man on the cross, and know little about their salvation. Hence the arguments we see, about losing or keeping their salvation.
This is just the start of this thread by Soul Man and me. The next segment will be statements from me (Chopper) on some of what the Holy Spirit has revealed to me....Soul man and I have a lot to teach in this thread, therefore it will be a long and involved thread with many segments.
May our Lord Jesus Christ bless your mind and understanding, may our Holy Spirit give you ears to hear what He teaches us all.
STAY TUNED!!
Alive In Jesus,
Chopper
