GOD RAISED US UP WITH CHRIST AND SEATED US WITH GOD IN THE HEAVENLY REALMS IN CHRIST JESUS! (Eph.2:6)
"WE ARE MADE ALIVE, RAISED, AND SEATED WITH CHRIST,
THIS MEANS THAT WE SHARE IN THESE KEY EVENTS OF CHRIST EXPERIENCE. THEOLOGIANS CALL IT PARTICIPATION WITH CHRIST. OUR TRUST IN CHRIST CONNECTS US TO CHRIST, SO THAT CHRIST'S DEATH BECOMES OUR DEATH, CHRIST'S RESURRECTION BECOMES OUR RESURRECTION, CHRIST'S ASCENSION BECOMES OUR ASCENSION."

"SINCE, THEN, YOU HAVE BEEN RAISED WITH CHRIST, SET YOUR HEARTS ON THINGS ABOVE, WHERE CHRIST IS, SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD. SET YOUR MINDS ON THINGS ABOVE, NOT ON EARTHLY THINGS. FOR YOU DIED AND YOUR LIFE IS NOW HIDDEN WITH CHRIST IN GOD. WHEN CHRIST, WHO IS YOUR LIFE, APPEARS, THEN YOU ALSO WILL APPEAR WITH CHRIST IN GLORY." (Col.3:1-4)
"OUR CONNECTION TO CHRIST IS SPIRITUAL. WE DID NOT PHYSICALLY DIE WITH CHRIST OR WERE PHYSICALLY RAISED WITH CHRIST; BUT OUR SPIRITUAL SELVES BECOME CONNECTED TO CHRIST AND GO WITH CHRIST THROUGH DEATH AND RESURRECTION. THIS IS WHY WE CAN SAY THAT OUR OLD PERSON HAS BEEN PUT TO DEATH AND OUR NEW PERSON NOW EXIST IN ITS PLACE. THIS IS NOT EXAGGERATION OR A METAPHOR; IT IS SPIRITUALLY TRUE!
"THEREFORE, IF ANYONE IS IN CHRIST, THE NEW CREATION HAS COME: THE OLD HAS GONE, THE NEW IS HERE!" (2Cor.5:17)
"PARTICIPATION WITH CHRIST IS CONNECTING MY SPIRIT TO CHRIST'S SPIRIT. WHEREVER CHRIST'S SPIRIT GOES, I GO TOO. CHRIST PULLS ME THROUGH DEATH, INTO NEW LIFE, AND ULTIMATELY INTO HEAVEN ITSELF. I DO NOT DESERVE
TO RECIEVE RESURRECTION LIFE, BUT I AM GRANTED IT BEACUSE MY SPIRIT IS CONNECTED TO CHRIST'S SPIRIT. I DO NOT DESERVE TO LIVE IN HEAVEN WITH CHRIST, BUT I CAN BECAUSE I PARTICIPATE WITH CHRIST. I AM DRAWN IN TO SHARE IN CHRIST ACHIEVEMENT."
"THIS SPIRITUAL EXCEPTIONALISM IS TAUGHT BY GOD HIMSELF!"
"MAY THE GOD OF PEACE, WHO THROUGH THE BLOOD OF THE ETERNAL COVENANT BROUGHT BACK FROM THE DEAD OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THAT GREAT SHEPHERD OF THE SHEEP,EQUIP ME WITH EVERYTHING GOOD FOR DOING GOD'S WILL, AND MAY GOD WORK IN ME WHAT IS PLEASING TO GOD, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST, TO WHOM BE GLORY FOR EVER AND EVER." AMEN! (Heb.13:20-21)
"CHRIST IS THE PATTERN FOR MY LIFE, AND GOD IS TRANSFORMING ME TO THE PATTERN. SO I SAY THANKS BE TO GOD." AMEN!
