In Christ Position
In the beginning, God created man in His own image and likeness (Gen 1:26-27) and hence we are known as His sons (gender free word) as we emanate from Him.
God put His word into man when He breathed into Adam (John 1:1, Gen 2:7).
In the garden both Adam and Eve was connected to God’s word placed inside of them which gave them life. In that life, was the light and the glory of God which covered Adam and Eve. This was an In Christ position.
Adam and Eve walked in the garden in their in Christ position till they fell from that position. They fell through their disobedience to God’s word (Gen 2:15-17) (Romans 5:19). This disobedience was manifested when they partook of the fruit (Gen 3:1-5) which God commanded them Not to eat of it. (Gen 2:15-17)
After eating of the forbidden fruit, the light and glory that clothed them departed from them, their eyes were opened to the world of intellect and sensuality. They saw they were naked “and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings” (Gen 3:7) and upon hearing the voice of God they “hid themselves from the Lord God among the trees of the garden” (Gen 3:8).
At this juncture, their eyes were closed to spiritual truths and blinded to kingdom perspectives and now viewed everything from their fallen state which is an erroneous view point. We have built on this fallen state, known as human reasoning, analysis and human wisdom.
Today we need to ask ourselves are we functioning from and in Christ position or out of Christ position. Many have their own interpretations and perspectives. However the question, is it a Christocentric view or out of Christ position.
We are constantly bombarded with many speakings that are so well wrapped around in ideologies, philosophies, perspectives and humanistic ideas that are laced with half truths and we read articles put out by many that are articulating from their own nuanced experiences and erroneous perspectives. Many verbal and written rhetoric floating around and does not bring us to a place of accuracy in Christ. These speakings and articles do not carry an in Christ position.
Today there are many Samaritan/hybrid opinions that are floating around. We need to remind ourselves that we only partake of the pure seed that is mentioned in the Parable of the Sower, which is also known as the Parable of Parables.
Colossians 3:10
“and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him,”
Our knowledge now needs to be fully aligned and akined to Him alone. We cannot live any longer in an dualistic position. A migration from the hybrid/dualistic position is quintessential for our progression into Sonship. Our perspectives need to be aligned to the word of God.
It’s vital not only to hear the word but also to discern the spirit behind the word. (1 John 4:1)
In the last days as recorded for us in Matthew 24:4-5, 11-12, 24, and in 2 Thessalonians 3:3-11, there will be a manifestation of the spirit of deception and lawlessness which is currently in operation. The door of deception opens the door of lawlessness.
Therefore in view of these challenges that lies in front of us, let us be encouraged and edified to cling onto, an in Christ position based on God’s word.
A season where we lay down our private perspectives to the Father’s perspective. This is a season where we are tracking back to the authenticity and to the orthodoxity of God’s word.
