Transformation and Occupation

Transformation and Occupation

by Robert B. Thompson
To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne. (Revelation 3:21)
The goal of the Divine salvation is to make man in God's image, and also God's eternal dwelling place and throne.
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. (Galatians 2:20)
Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. (John 14:23)
The preceding two verses may appear to be saying the same thing. Actually they are not. Galatians 2:20 refers to a change in us. John 14:23 refers to the coming of the Father and the Son to abide forever in that change.
The Holy Spirit produces the change, using the body and blood of Christ; and so He also is dwelling in us.
This transformation and occupation is all I have to say in the present essay. The remainder of the text is elaboration. So you can go on to something else if you choose.
