Moving

Why do you think so many refuse to move from the old covenant to the new covenant under Jesus, making Him your Head; Risen Christ Jesus Who is the one Body and one Spirit of God, the Head of the one, true, called-out “church” the ekklesia, the pure betrothed bride to her One Husband (2 Corinthians 11:2b; Matthew 25:1-13), no longer an enemy of God (James 4:4) when you move through the narrow gate of the Cross, move through the New Living Way (Hebrews 10:19-23), moving through the Open Door of Risen Jesus (John 10:9) the one Living Way to God our Father, so He can give you the Holy Spirit to be with AND in you (John 14:16-17) when you give all of your old nature and former manner of life to Jesus; putting off the old and putting on the new, created now after the image and likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness (Ephesians 4:20-24).

Why do so  many still reject Jesus as the Messiah, the Son of God, the Christ, the Living Holy Anointed One, the Risen Lamb of God, the Lord of lords and King of kings (Revelation 17:14); the Word and the Spirit of God, the King of kings and Lord of lords (Revelation 19:10-16)?

Why do so many still refuse to listen (Hebrews 12:25), hear, and obey His Words, Sayings, Teachings (John 12:48; Revelation 3:7-10) and deny His Name Above every name in heaven AND on earth? Why do so many reject Jesus, the visible manifestation of the invisible un-manifest Glory of God our Father; Risen Christ who is the exact image and likeness of God our Father, so that in beholding the Glory of the Risen Son, we are changing, transforming from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit (2 Corinthians 3:18);

clothed with the white garments and the riches of glory as our new inner light, Christ in you; the lamp of the Risen Lamb our new oil, fire, and eyes to see (Revelation 3:18, 21:23) by the Holy Spirit given to you under the new covenant, a much better covenant with much more excellent Promises, fulfilled in Risen Jesus. If the old covenant hadn’t been flawed, have faults, it would not have needed to be replaced with the new covenant (Hebrews 8:6-11) under which all can know God through Jesus, and all can be known by God through faith in Jesus, asking and receiving Christ in you, who teaches you to abide in Christ (1 John 2:27) as a member of the one Body of Risen Christ under the Head, so you can grow up in EVERY way into Christ (Ephesians 4:15), the Head of the one Body and one Spirit of God (1 Corinthians 12:27; Ephesians 4:4, 5:30-31); coming to fullness of life in Christ, in whom the whole Godhead dwells bodily (Colossians 1:19, 2:9-10).

Move into fullness of Life in Christ!

^“6 As therefore you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so live in Him, ⁷ rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.

⁸ See to it that no one makes a prey of you by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the universe, and not according to Christ. ⁹ For in Him the whole fulness of Deity dwells bodily, ¹⁰ and you have come to fulness of life in Him, who is the Head of all rule and authority. ¹¹ In Him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of flesh in the circumcision of Christ; ¹² and you were buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. ¹³ And you, who were dead in trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, ¹⁴ having canceled the bond which stood against us with its legal demands; this He set aside, nailing it to the cross. ¹⁵ He disarmed the principalities and powers and made a public example of them, triumphing over them in Him…²⁰ If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the universe, why do you live as if you still belonged to the world?” Colossians 2:6-20

“What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? ² By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? ³ Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? ⁴ We were buried therefore with Him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.

⁵ For if we have been united with Him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with Him in a resurrection like his. ⁶ We know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the sinful body might be destroyed, and we might no longer be enslaved to sin. ⁷ For He who has died is freed from sin. ⁸ But if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him. ⁹ For we know that Christ being raised from the dead will never die again; death no longer has dominion over Him. ¹⁰ The death He died He died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. ¹¹ So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus” Romans 6:1-11

The greatest, best news! the true Light of the Gospel of the Glory of Christ, the true Light that enlightens and darkness can never overcome (John 1:1-16); the Light of the Gospel of the Glory of Risen Christ, the exact image and likeness of God our Father, but the “god of this world” blinds minds of unbelievers so they can’t see the new Way, Truth, Life (2 Corinthians 4:4; John 14:6) but our Father pours His Spirit, Light, Love, and Glory of Risen Christ into those who humble themselves and repent, turning from the darkness of this present world system of beliefs to believe Jesus, moving into the Marvelous Light of Risen Jesus as God’s new beloved people of all tribes, tongues, people, and nations (1 Peter 2:9-10; Revelation 5:9-10), turning from the power of satan and idols, sin and death, to the Power of the Living God, Father, Son, Holy Spirit; delivered from the dominion of darkness and transferred, moved into Christ where we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins in the new kingdom of the Beloved Risen Son of Righteousness (Colossians 1:9-14).

“Having purified your souls by your obedience to the Truth for a sincere love of the brethren, love one another earnestly from the heart. ²³ You have been born anew, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the Living and Abiding word of God [Jesus]…²⁵ but the Word of the Lord [Jesus] abides for ever.” That Word is the good news which was preached to you” 1 Peter 1:22-25

Amen. So be it. Hallelujah!
