MORAL DOMINION
“Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.” – ROMANS 6:9-11 KJV
Co-Eternal Life, was the life which Jesus Christ exhibited on the human plane, and it is the same life, not a copy of it, which was manifested in our mortal flesh when we are born of GOD! The energy and the power which was manifested in us by sheer sovereign grace of GOD, when once we have made the moral decision about sin.
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you.” – not power as a gift from the Holy Ghost; the power is the Holy Ghost, not something which he imparts. The life that was in Jesus has made ours by means of His Cross, when once we made the decision to be identified with Him. If it is difficult to get right with GOD, it is because we will not decide definitely about sin. Immediately we do decide the full life of GOD comes in. Jesus came to give us endless supplies of like: knowledge that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of GOD.”
Eternal life has nothing to do with Time; it is the life which Jesus lived when He was down here. The ONLY source of life, is, the LORD Jesus Christ! The weakest saint can experience the power of Deity of the Son of GOD, if once “he is willing to let go”. Any strand of our own energy will blur the life of Jesus. We have to keep letting go – and slowly but surely, the great life of GOD will invade is in every part and men will take knowledge of us that we have been with Jesus.
