The Believer's New Creation Identity In CHRIST JESUS ✝ Overview
Introduction: Tetelestai/teleō
John 19:30. "IT IS FINISHED"
The revelation knowledge, truth and reality of The New Covenant, sealed in The Blood of The Lord Jesus (Matthew 26:28, Mark 14:24, Luke 22:20) comes with eternally limitless benefits believers can and should be experiencing in this lifetime. As believers we need to know, believe in and walk in the truth of who The Heavenly Father God, In Christ has made and declared us to be. This revelation knowledge based solely on the finished work of Jesus is the foundation we need and is available to every believer. This revelation is needed to uproot and destroy the mindset/spirit of orphan, religiosity, legalism; the rules, regulations and divisions of ethnic (skin color) and cultural denominationalsm much of which are built on the doctrimes of men and have nothing to do with biblical truths and are an offence to the cross and blood of Jesus.
On the cross The Lord Jesus with a loud and triumphant/victorious voice that shook the universe, proclamed, "IT IS FINISHED" (John 19:30)
Finished: Strong G5055
Greek: τελέω
Transliteration: teleō
Pronunciation: tel-eh'-o
Definition: From G5056; to end that is complete execute conclude, discharge (a debt): - accomplish make an end expire fill up finish go over pay performance.
There is nothing more God needs to do, or will do to procure human redemption from the curse of sin: spiritual death (seperation from the Zoe life of God) and its two offsprings poverty/lack and sickness/disease. Christ has already redeemed (past tense) us from the curse of the law (Galtians 3:3)
The Lord Jesus paid the full, complete redemptive price for human salvation from satan's death grip, once and for all eternity. He paid (a debt we were not qualified to and could not/never pay) the full penalty for our sins plus much more. Grace didn't just abound in the face of so much sin, Grace abounded much more above sin (Romans 5: 20) The blood/cross of The Lord Jesus is way more than enough and will never ever loose its power. Remember the word Tetelestai/teleō translated finished/complete also means to go over, over pay. Selah.
The power of God's grace in the redemptive blood sacrifice of Jesus is unmatched by the power of the devil/sin: there is no comparism. The Lord Jesus totall annihilated and disarmed (Colossians 2: 12-15, Hebrews 2:14, Rev. 1:8, Rev. 20:10) the father and author of sin (the devil) and all his fallen host undoing, (permanently nullify, canceal, make void, invalidate, erradicate) and totally destroyed all their works (1 John 3:8) for all eternity. As Believers we have authority over the devil and all his kingdom. The devil has no legal right over you as a believer. Do not give him any.
By His blood (not yearly like the Old Covenant priests) The lLord Jesus entered once into the Most Holy Place haven obtained (past tense) eternal redemption for us (Hebrews 9:24-28) what did He do after He entered The Most Holy place? HE sat down (Mark 16:19, Act 7:55, Colossians 3:1,Ephesians 1:20, Hebrews 8:1) at the right hand of The Father because His perfect redemptive work (unlike the old covenant priests) was and is permanently/eternally finished (Hebrews 10:14) Now you can enter into His rest.
Everything humanity needs to be born again/ saved has been fully paid and provided for In Christ. Everything the believer needs to walk in newness of life, experiencing the benefis of the shed blood of Jesus as an heir of the divine nature and possesor of all God has for us in this life and the fulness of the inheritance for all eternity has been fully paid for. The church/body of Christ was purchased with God's own blood (Acts 20:28, Colossians 1:14-16) It is a perfect sacrifice. Jesus will never again make another blood sacrifice. Tetelestai/teleō. Selah.
I exhort, encourage you therefors as a believer in Christ Jesus to renew ( Romans 12:2) your mind to the realities of who you are, what you have and what you can do In/with/through your union In Christ. Cast/put off the spirit/tendencies of the husk/pigsty of religion and legalism because religious and legalistic believes, words and actions may sound and look pious (getting the applause of humans) but are in opposition to and an offence to the cross/covenant finished work of Christ.
Put on/live in accordance with the divine nature in your reborn, recreated human spirit (where The Holy Spirit dwells) the new man created in righteousnes and true holiness. When you received by grace through faith The Lord Jesus, God spiritually gave birth to (John 1 :13, James 1:18, 1 John 5:4) you to be just like HIM in righteousness and true holiness. (Ephesians 4:24) Anyone who is united in spirit In/with Christ is one spirit with HIM (1 Corinthians 6:17) ) and a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17) not a refurbished, remade old sinner but a totally new, never existed before creation/spirit being. The devil has nothing in your reborn/new creation spirit. God The Father, The Lord Jesus, The Holy Spirit do not co-habit your spirit along side the devil. They are not roomates. God is The sole inhabitor of your reborn spirit as HiS child.
So as believers, we can confidently and boldly say " As a child of God, I am a new creation, I am righeous and holy just like God in my union with Christ, I am a king and a priest, I am more than a conqueror,, I am an overcomer, I am healed". These are just a few of our new creation present day identity (not just in the sweet by and by/heaven) and much more . As The Lord Jesus is so are we in this present world (1 John 4:17) Selah
In Christ, Believers are (present tense) not sinners. No where in the New Covenant are the epistles/letters adressed to sinners. As a truth of their identity, believers are addressed as children of God, saints, sanctified, holy, The church, Body of Christ (even the carnal Corinthian church) when we embrace by faith and the declaration/sayingn of our mouth our true identity In Christ, then and only then will we walk and mature in it. Our identity is not in who we were (sinners, unregenerated, dead in sin) before we believed (saved) in Jesus. That spiritually dead sin identity was crucified on the cross (Galations 2:14-20)
Christ's redemptive blood covenant on the cross is fully and eternally paid for/finished.
On the cross The Lord Jesus with a loud triumphant/victorious raor/voice that shook the universe, proclamed, "IT IS FINISHED" (John 19:30) Tetelestai/teleō is used in the perfect tense. That means the benefits of the redemptive blood sacrifice of Jesus effects the past, present and future for all eternity.
Until the next post on this subject, in your union In/With Christ, be strong, be humble, be bold, be thankful, be courageous, be fearless, live by faith and walk in love. Humility is believing the truth and reality of who God says you are as His redeemed/child. God because of and through Christ has qualified you (Romans 8:17, Colossians 1:2) as HIS heir to be a partaker of Hus divine nature (2Peter 1:3-4) . Be led by His Word and Spirit not your sight (what you see, hear, feel, taste, touch) or a denominational doctrine that has nothing to do with righteousness or holy living. The grace of The Lord Jesus Christ abides in and is with you. Selah
