Continuing with the second part of the last blog, now looking at the Lordship of Christ, as He had the common experience of humanity and was also known as the son of man and son of David as GODS means to bring about the promised change for the course of (law or) life. Some times known as the life of the Spirit or Spirit life or Spirit law which the old prophets called a newness of heart and a heart of flesh signifying mans weakness and required meekness. And as Jesus Himself exhibited by lowness of life walking in the course of law or new life by not counting His equality with GOD to be a boastful thing. Jesus being the root of Jesse, the root of the tree of life from Whom all branches draw production of fruit and fruitfulness from once perfection or maturity comes to it. The LORD being the husbandman Who trims away all dead wood or dead unproductive branches to be thrown fire. The Lordship of Christ bring us all the way back to Genesis 2:1-3 as the LORD God of the Sabbath.
The Lordship of Christ,
Luke 6:1-5 "On a Sabbath, while Jesus was going through the grainfields, His disciples plucked and ate some heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands. But some of the Pharisees said, "Why are you doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?" To this Jesus answered them, 'Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him: how he entered the house of GOD and took and ate the bread of the Presence, which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those with him?' Then He said to them, 'The Son of Man is lORD of the Sabbath.'"
Acts 2:29-36 with 5:31 and Romans 10:9, 1Corinthians 1:9 (Peter is bearing witness to Christ) "Brothers, I may say to you with confidence about the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that GOD had sworn with an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants on his throne, he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that He was not abandoned to Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption. This Jesus GOD raised up, and of that we all are witnesses. Being therefore exalted at the right hand of GOD, and (our) having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing (the promised newness of Spiritual life, or the Spirit law of life the way, course to live). For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says (in Psalm 110:1), "'The LORD said to my LORD, "Sit at My right hand, until I make Your enemies Your footstool."' Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that GOD has made Him both LORD and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified."
Acts 5:26, 27-32 and Romans 10:9, 1Corinthians 1:9 "Then the captain with the officers went and brought them (Peter and his group), but not by force, for they were afraid of being stoned by the people.
And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest questioned them, saying, "We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man's blood upon us." But Peter and the apostles answered, "We must obey God rather than men. The God of our fathers raised Jesus, whom you killed by hanging Him on a tree. GOD has exalted Him to His right hand as Leader and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, Whom GOD has given to those who obey Him."
Romans 10:4, 9 of 5-13, 1Corinthians 1:9 "For Christ is the end (goal) of the Law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
For Moses writes about the righteousness that is based on the law, that the person who does the commandments will live by that righteousness. (Leviticus 18:5, Nehemiah 9:29, Ezekiel 20:11, 13, 21) But the righteousness based on faith says, (in Deuteronomy 30:12) "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) or "'Who will descend into the a abyss?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). But what does it say (in Deuteronomy 30:14)? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is LORD and believe in your heart that GOD raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says (by Isaiah in 28:16), "'Everyone who believes in Him will not be (disappointed that is) put to shame.'" For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same LORD is Lord of all, bestowing His riches on all who call on Him. For (Joel states in 2:32) "everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved."
1Corithians 1:4-9 "I give thanks to my GOD always for you because of the grace of GOD that was given you, in Christ Jesus, that in every way you were enriched by Him in all speech and all knowledge— even as the testimony about Christ was confirmed among you— so that you are not lacking in any gift, as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our LORD Jesus Christ. For GOD is faithful, by Whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our LORD."
1Corinthians 12:1-3 with Ephesians 4:5 "Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed. You know that when you were pagans you were led astray to mute idols, however you were led. Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking in the Spirit of GOD ever says "Jesus is accursed!" and no one can say "Jesus is LORD" except in the Holy Spirit."
Ephesians 3:14-19, 20-21, 4:5 of 1-6 "For this reason I (Paul) bow my knees before the Father, from Whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of His glory HE may grant you to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in (by His law of) love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of GOD.
Now to Him Who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to His power at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever, the Amen.
I therefore, a prisoner for the LORD, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— one LORD, one faith, one baptism, one GOD and Father of all, Who is over all and through All and in all."
Now with what is stated in this last verse and that of verse fifteen of chapter three above and other contributing passages here, I can say that the name given to His family in heaven and on earth is Christ. That part of GOD in Adam before Genesis 3's rebellion record began.
