The Inheritance - The Inheritance of Life

What is our inheritance with Christ?  Ultimately, would it not be LIFE from the dead.  Is this a future life?  Or is this Christ living in you?  He is our Inheritance of Life.

The Seed of God 8 - Christ, The Blessings of Abraham

Gal 3:13  Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. 15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto. 16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. 
We would receive the Spirit through faith.  And the Spirit is promised to the Seed.   Consider this!  The Seed who is Christ.  Only unto this Seed do we find the promises fulfilled.  Here in Him where we are we are blessed in the fullness of the joy of the Spirit of the Lord.  Glory to God!
 

The Seed of God Part 7 - Christ the Resurrection

What does it mean for you and I to be raised from the dead?  Does it simply mean that we get raised in our earthly bodies or a new type of body and never die or is it MUCH GREATER.  Romans 6 tells us that we walk in newness of life as Christ is raised from the dead by the glory of the Father.  This new life we live in in resurrection is Christ living in us.   It is as He is raised out from the dead.  The dead being the old man, Adamic creation.
Jesus was born into the Adamic creation.  Simply put, he became a man to die to that mankind.  Why did He do that?  In order to bring a people (new creation) out from the dead to live unto Him.  This is resurrection, you and I living unto Him who raised from the dead.  He makes us alive (quickens us), raises us, and seats us with Himself in the heavenlies to live (express) that of Him!  Glory to God!

The Seed of God Part 6 - The Inheritance

What is your inheritance in Christ? Maybe we should consider His inheritance to understand ours? Maybe what belongs to Him is given to us and made known by Him being revealed within in us. For example, He is righteous. By virtue of Him living in me, I am made righteous. Through the knowledge and working of His righteousness in me, then I can live righteously in the earth.
I believe the entirety of our salvation as well as inheritance is in union with Christ. I believe when we consider anything separate from Him, we are in error with our salvation. Our separation was dealt with at the cross where the old man was crucified. Now everything we have is built upon Him who lives in us. We are in union with Christ and come to know the riches of God that are in Christ. When I say know, I am not just speaking of a mental understanding, but of an inward knowing by the Spirit of God. Glory to God!

The Seed of God Part 5 - Led By The Spirit of God

They who are led by the Spirit are the Sons of God.” What does it mean to be led of the Spirit? What does it mean to be a Son of God? It is actually a simple answer, but this simple answer is profound and only realized by the Spirit of God who dwells within the believer. John 16:13 “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.” Growing up and becoming a Son is learning the things of Christ by the Spirit of God. The Spirit guides us into all things of Jesus, showing us His death, burial and resurrection. The Spirit applies what Jesus did to us the believer, to our hearts, our minds, our souls. Christ is made known to you and I and we comprehend Him and express Him through the work of the Holy Spirit within us. This is being led of the Spirit, being led into all the truth who is Christ. Being a Son is simply the expression of the Son who lives in you, comprehending Him and growing up into Him in all things by the Spirit of God. Ephesians 4:15 "But holding to truth in love, we may grow up into Him in all things, who is the Head, Christ."

The Seed of God Part 4 - The Preeminent One

The Seed of God Part 3 - Firstborn from the Dead

Christ is not only the Firstborn Son of God in Preeminence with the Father, but He is Firstborn from among, or out from the dead. Jesus was born into the dead. In Adam all are the dead. Jesus was born into mankind, or into the Adamic man and died as that man, putting HIm to death. When He was raised, He was raised out from the dead. We in Him are out from the dead! Glory to God

The Seed of God Part 2 - In the Mount of the Lord It Is Seen

God takes Abraham to Mount Moriah to offer him as a sacrifice. Hebrews 11 tells us Abraham received Isaac back in type of the resurrection. Out of Isaac came forth the nation of Israel. This is the type of the seed of wheat falling into the earth and bringing forth of itself. It is the type of the birthing of a nation. If we can see this we can come to clarity of God's dealing in Israel and its importance to the Church.
Now moving to the reality. Jesus was offered on Mount Calvary. Here is where it is really seen and comes forth unto God in substance, not type. He is the Seed of God planted into the earth and brings forth a new creation in Himself. This new creation is the Chruch, the Body of the Lord Jesus Christ.
