In the eons before the foundations of the world were laid and established there was who was always there with the Father of spirits the Son also Spirit who stood out above all others because He carried the name of Christ. The record shows that all is of His doing in the creation, redemption and that which brought into play in His Salvation by the restoration and transformation of promise as found in Genesis 3:15. All having been hidden from man and the angles of GOD until released to man after the Spirit's giving to dwell within man again. This all being truth and fact in our Union with Christ is my next study topic, beginning with Romans 7:4.
Union with Christ:
Romans 7:4-6, 1Corinthians 6:15, 2Corinthians 11:2, Ephesians 5:30 and 1John 2:24 "Likewise, my brothers, you also have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to Him Who has been raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God. For while we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused (made known to us) by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit for (in continued separation from the Living GOD in this) death. But now we are released from the law (of this death), having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code."
1Corinthians 6:12-20 "All things are lawful for me," but not all things are helpful. "All things are lawful for me," but I will not be dominated by anything. "Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food"—and God (Christ) will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the LORD, and the LORD for the body. For GOD raised the Lord and will also raise us up by His power. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members (by the action of mans religions) of a prostitute? Never! Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, "The two will become one flesh (the revealed actions of Revelation)." For he who is joined to the LORD becomes one spirit with Him. Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body (by building up the energy of wrath within himself). Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God (He being GOD)? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body."
2Corinthinas 11:1-6 "I wish you would bear with me in a little foolishness. Do bear with me! For I feel a divine jealousy for you, since I betrothed you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ. But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion (and revelation of) to Christ. For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus (the false narrative of religion) than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit (this being mans fallen nature of spirit or latent power of mans soul) from the one you received, or if you accept a different (again, in mans religious forms in a) gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough. Indeed, I consider that I am not in the least inferior to these super-apostles (agents of a false light). Even if I am unskilled in speaking, I am not so in knowledge; indeed, in every way we have made this plain to you in all things."
Ephesians 5:25-33 "Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loves the (family, assembly of body or) church and gave Himself up for her (IT), that He might sanctify her (IT), having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that He might present the church to Himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, because we are members of His body. "Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the (body, family and assembly of a) church (of two or more gathered with the LORD's essence in their mists, this happens anywhere at anytime). However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband."
1John 2:18-25 "Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many (denominations of mans false religions for all religion is false because of the nature within them that are) antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, for they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us. But you have been anointed (made of Messiah-Christ) by the Holy One, and you all have knowledge. I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and because no lie is of the truth. Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also. Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then you will abide in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise that He made to us—eternal life."
When one speaks of Christ he is speaking of both Christ and Jesus as these two terms are inseparable. Just as eating and drinking the word make the word inseparable within us, because it becomes part of us, as water, bread or meats do.
