What God is doing to His elect is utterly profound. It is nothing less than the flesh being made the Word of God. But then, what would we expect considering that God is creating a family for Himself?
I refer to us as the fellowship of the Bosom. We are dwelling for eternity in the Bosom of the Father. Each of us has a fanatical, fierce, savagely wild, determination that God’s complete will shall be accomplished in every aspect of His creation.
I believe this determination originated in the ancient days in Bible school, where it was taught that no one can do God’s complete will, and He has given us grace so we can be accepted by Him even though we are partly in a state of rebellion.
In those days, when I was a lot younger than I am now, I decided that if God would keep showing me His will, and provide the enabling wisdom and power (grace), I would do His will. I have kept that promise for seventy years and have no intention of changing one whit!
The profound work of the new covenant in transforming us into a new creation has something to do with writing the will of God in our mind and heart, and with the body and blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. But I am not clear as to how all this comes together.
I do realize that the blood of Christ is to become our life, and the flesh of Christ is to become our substance.
In addition to this transformation, we are to have the mind of Christ.
One thing I do understand is that the new creation is infinitely more than a nice person who is involved in religion. The new creation is the offspring of God. Their metabolism is conducted by the Spirit of God. Their being is of the Substance of Christ. Their Law is the Holy Spirit Himself, working in them. They still are human, but their Nature is that of Jesus Christ Himself.
They are life-giving spirits, prepared to go to the farthest reaches of the creation, bringing the Presence of the Godhead with them. These are God’s chariots, now taking the place of the Cherubim.
