My dad is rich. I have won the lottery! With my soul I acknowledge that I am in Christ. Knowing that all of nature is inevitably set to be subject to me brings forth confidence and boldness in my heart. Not by my will but by the power of grace I (the real me, the one who is and born of the spirit), through the eternal life in me, worship the true God and do not worship false god’s such as bad weather, another human’s flesh, or anything in this world by letting it dictate my emotions and what I experience. Those things worship the God in me and fall prostrate to who I am. I begin to live out in my thoughts and my emotions the life of a person who’s inheritance is all of creation. Even should I trip at offense and forget who I am and experience in my flesh death, I can be reminded and know the identity of the flesh has died in Christ already and there is no reasonable way I can identify with that body of flesh, because it is DEAD and the life I identify and live in is in reality, arisen and seated at the right hand of the throne of God (demonstration my life’s position, value, and worth in the universe). The world with its worldly eyes sees a dieing body right now but I am alive in the risen Christ, all of creation is looking to the day when it will be manifest and displayed who and what I really am. An immortal human clothed with immortality. Heaven and earth will collide in this body.
I (the flesh identity) have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. (Galatians 2:20)
Faith = persuasion.
Son of God was persuaded of his worth, his rightful inheritance of all things, including eternal life. Through loving me and giving himself for me, he persuaded me to believe and partake in an equal coheritance with him in immortal life. So that apart from anything I do, I would have eternal life, living as I ought to be in a world as it ought to be. That’s the heart of God to give life for free.
I am not like Thanos who had to kill, steal, and destroy lives to be as he ought to be, to be a “god”, or to fill the void in his heart and to experience peace. He was subject to the world system in believing that people’s value were based on their ability to contribute, their ability to love, their ability to get, or do anything that could prove their worth. He felt lack when he looked around in the universe and reasoned that the universe was dieing (finite resources), he reasoned he had to make himself a god, and take all that constitutive s life (through the infinity stones-Mind, Power, Reality, Soul, Space, and Time), and then judge who is worthy of life or not.
Thanos is a picture of the inheritance of Adam: Sin and death. In what ways am I (my flesh mind) looking around me or even my body of flesh and reasoning how need to take or get something so that I can finally have peace and watch the “sunset”? What effect is it having to those around me?
I am crucified with Christ dangit, it’s not me (flesh identity) who lives but Christ in me (spirit identity). I am not to be deceived into thinking I don’t already have life and need to partake of Satan’s tainted tree of knowledge of good and evil to judge myself and others if they are as they out to be. It would be a mockery of everything Christ did to demonstrate who I am!
After renewing my mind, I speak as I ought to be, as the father would be speaking. No longer speech in who the flesh tries to dictate me as, “sinner”, “condemned”, etc. When the flesh speaks I take that speech to Christ, and the father exchanges his life when i present my death in whatever way I feel, think, and act. Romans 12
He then lives out renewed feelings, thoughts, and actions. If I am afraid to present my flesh to him, then he can’t raise it from the dead in those areas it needs to be arisen.
Hebrews 4:16
16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
God promises to renew whatever I offer to him and give back life. Like a pawn shop, but more just in its returns.
More on that thought...
God is like a sanctified pawn shop, you offer your woes, your sin, and your manifesting death. He gives you more then compensatory life. There’s no other person like that.
When we hold that in for ourselves out of fear, we experience the penalty sin has, of death. Seeing the love in God’s heart when he offered himself on the cross and offered OUR death to God (by carrying our sin) was to help convince us that God will never punish us for our sin when we come to him, but always offer love and give eternal life. Just look at what happened to the guy who represented us.. where is he now? Seated at the highest position of value and worth in all the universe, the right hand of God.
It’s like the example of the record breaking Olympic times for running. No one though it possible until the first man demonstrated it. That’s the power of being convinced and needing to be convinced in order to believe something that is true.
