7 Statements Concerning Redemption

Some have said that we were patterned after Jesus’ physical body since we were predestined, conformed to the image of His Son. Is the physical body really the image of God? Creation is the purpose for each life. Choice is opportunity that delivers or discounts the image of God. In the bungling, embarrassments and dirt of our common lives, the wisdom of God accomplishes the profound act of creation in His Image.

1Cr 1:25-31, Mat 5:5, Zep 2:3,

1Cr 15:42 So also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
1Cr 15:43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
1Cr 15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
1Cr 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam [was made] a quickening spirit.
1Cr 15:46 Howbeit that [was] not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
1Cr 15:47 The first man [is] of the earth, earthy: the second man [is] the Lord from heaven.
1Cr 15:48 As [is] the earthy, such [are] they also that are earthy: and as [is] the heavenly, such [are] they also that are heavenly.
1Cr 15:49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
1Cr 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

Now the extremity that is to be like Jesus comes into focus. Are we made according to the physical body of Jesus?

Eph 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
1Pe 1:20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
Jhn 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and [of] the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Jhn 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Jhn 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

Or are we to be among those predestined to conform to the image of obedience that ultimately transforms flesh and death into the resurrection or transformation of/into the spiritual body that God has intended all along, the body that does not die?

Rom 8:19,23, Rom 13:11-14,

Eph 5:14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
1Ti 4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
1Pe 1:3 Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to His abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

Jesus would not be distracted. Jesus offended authority and was a disruption because of His single minded purpose, His entire focus, to do God’s will. Clearly those who were chosen in Him before the foundation of the world were so identified because they have the opportunity to be holy and without blame in Him. Children of God in Him who are very different than the disobedient manner of the majority of human being. Jesus, “was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times” to recreate humans into the image and likeness of God. The identification of last times indicates the final act of the creation of human in the image of God. The purpose and glory of God exists before the foundation of this one world and times that accomplish creation of human being in the image of God, the creation process of man in the image of God. Jesus sacrificed Himself, the will of God once at the end of the world. The end of the world as perceived by the deathless without time, who are. The end of the world and last times declare that there will be no further changes. The plural times have continued through to our lives for whosoever will repent, change and accept Jesus.

Hbr 9:26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

2Pe 3:3-12

We know the extremity that is to be like Jesus. Who we are now, what Adam and Eve chose, cannot accept the truth, or reconcile the condition of our separation from God except that the Spirit calls us. The human experience has produced lost beings. Erased from any relational memory of what those in the image of God were we barely discern God’s pleading to accept the role and existence human was and will be. We watch the drama of our own life yet do not turn the corner to arrive at the next level. The challenge of spiritual existence is unattainable for inherent ignorance of this presence. True human being must be revealed to those who seek reunion with their creator. Made in the image of God is how this occurs. Flesh cannot acquire that which cannot be touched or perceived.

2Cr 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
God’s disappointment and sorrow in the garden was the severing of His Spirit, the essence of God from Adam and Eve. God offers to “renew” the gift of the Holy Ghost. God is not limited by the impossible; He is the creator/recreator. Now is the time provided for His children to choose Him. Satan and all who practice denial of God believe a lie and the truth is not in them. Their choices that determine who they are separate them from God.

2Cr 6:2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now [is] the accepted time; behold, now [is] the day of salvation.)
Tts 3:4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
Tts 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Tts 3:6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
Tts 3:7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
2Cr 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, [even] as by the Spirit of the Lord.
2Cr 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to [give] the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
2Cr 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
Phl 3:21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
Act 26:23 That Christ should suffer, [and] that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.
Rev 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, [who is] the faithful witness, [and] the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

Adam and Eve were more than an experiment of curiosity on an obscure world. Their creation in the image of God, the One Who is the center of all could not be hidden or secret. The garden of God adds more celebrity to these new creatures. Created in the image of the Supreme Being and placed in His garden Adam and Eve were among the jewels of God’s glory. This glory was grossly, obscenely interrupted. Creation is the performance of God’s anticipation. Human accomplishment is now inhibited chrysalis like to discover those hearts that align with the human being God is creating. We do not esteem our real purpose but utmost through the entirety of human being is the word of God. God is creating humans in His image. There will be human beings in the image of God to His glory.

Isa 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper [in the thing] whereto I sent it.
