One In Him Part 6 * God’s Workmanship
In the original creation, God created mankind with a will of their own. The first man and woman, our parents, sinned against God and fell from the original state mankind was created in. Everything changed. This is why things are so messed up in this present world. It is out of whack from the original perfect creation
God made in the beginning. God provided a way back to Him from this separated condemned place mankind was now in. Many generations have come and gone since then. But, the original sin was passed down through the blood-line of all the decendants father to child. EXCEPT for Jesus!
He did not have an earthly father. His blood was not tainted as all other men and women. He was sent from heaven and was conceived by the Holy Spirit into the womb of Mary who was a virgin. Jesus by-passed the fallen blood-line of Adam! There was no sin in Him. No death in Him. He was the second Adam–He was the last Adam! He was the Lord of a new race of humans. In Him was the life of God.
When we, by faith, become one in Him, we share His new life. The same life that God has! The same life that raised Jesus from the dead is the life that we have. When we receive Jesus, we are a new creation–now blended with Him. So, this new creation we are is a creation who is sharing the very life of God. And, is blended with Jesus! One in the Spirit!
We are God’s workmanship created IN Christ Jesus! The new creation is a creation in unity and blended with God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit! One! This is who we are now. Not just individuals anymore, but individuals WITH Jesus also inside! He is always with us 24/7. The new creation is God’s workmanship created IN Christ Jesus! That’s who we are! KF KenFletcher.org
