The Battle In My Mind Is Won

Ephesians 1:20-23

²⁰which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, ²¹far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. ²²And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and made Him head over all things to the church, ²³which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

life, that is, Jesus himself.

Born Again

The only way to become a “child of God” and, thereby, qualify for heaven forever, John 3:1-19 and Romans 10:9-13.

2 and 3 Part Humans

These terms refer to a long-standing debate among Christians as to how God views all humans. Are we two-part beings (body and soul) or three-part beings (body, soul and spirit)? This not just an academic curiosity but has major importance to understanding mankind’s fundamental identity and our corresponding relationship with God. He tells us Genesis 1:26 that He made man in His image and likeness and John 4:24 says “God is Spirit.” So we are spirit being in His image and 1 Corinthians 6:17 tells us we can now become “one spirit with the Father.” His revelation in Hebrews 4:12 gives additional clarity to this very important question. Analogously, this verse equates our soul (mind, will, emotions and conscience) with “joints” – two bones, joined together in our physical body – like a finger joint.

However the human “spirit” is described analogously as “marrow” that is in our bones and, in fact, “manufactures” our bones. So from that clear distinction, we can deduce that all humans are “spirit beings that have a soul and live in a physical body.” This revelation of our true identity helps us understand what happened to mankind, through Adam, when he sinned. We all lost the spirit-to-Spirit connection he originally enjoyed with God. He became “spiritually separated” from God and we are born with that same fallen condition – in Adam.

Covenants

Covenants are very serious agreements made between two or more parties which, if broken by one side, the other side has a right to kill the other party. They are usually made by a blood oath, signifying the seriousness of the agreement. There are five main covenants in the Bible.

The Cross of Christ on Calvary

The Cross of Christ on Calvary is the most important event in human history as a dividing line for humanity – from God’s viewpoint. Jesus’ perfect sacrifice made Heaven available again for all those in Adam though rebirth. See Chart.

Curse of the Law

The “Law” Tree in the Garden and the Mosaic Law are good in themselves but not good for us because we fail to live perfectly – even a Adam did – at being “obedient” to any “standard.” Since we can’t we need a Savior – Jesus, to give us His perfection – righteousness – justification.

Butterfly Life

Refers to the radical transformation (a change of “roots”) of one’s old spirit-self to a brand new spirit-self that happens when an in Adam person is born again, 2 Corinthians 5:17. It is mirrored somewhat in the metamorphosis (complete change) of a caterpillar to a butterfly.

Divine Exchange

The Divine Exchange was part of Jesus’ Finished Work on the cross, whereby all of our sins were paid for by Jesus’ blood that was shed on the cross and “exchanged” for God’s righteousness, being considered “right” or in “right-standing with God, in our spirit-man.

Elephant of Mixture

In my book I use this phrase to denote that the “elephant in the room” which everyone knows is there (but is ignored as a “problem”) is the Mosaic Law of righteousness by “works” that is NOT to be mixed with the New Covenant of Grace.

Finished Work

The Finished Work of the Divine Exchange – When Jesus said “It is finished,” He was referring to the fact that He had accomplished what Father God sent Him on earth to do for all humanity – to offer salvation through being reborn of God by His grace through faith in what Jesus has done.

Mankind’s Fallen Condition

This refers to being in the same spiritual “condition” as Adam after his “Fall” from sinless perfection to being separated from God spiritually.

Galatianism

This is the heresy of trying to mix the covenant of law with the free offer of grace in the New Covenant in order to try to be justified by our “doing” vs faith in Jesus “doing” at Calvary- His Finished Work.

Gospel of Salvation - The Grace Gospel

Jesus’ Gospel revealed primarily to Paul in his visit to heaven (2 Corinthians 12:1-6) and recorded in his 13 books. He describes in detail what Jesus accomplished on Calvary and beyond for all mankind. He referred to this Fifth Gospel – the Gospel of Christ (Romans 1:16) – as “my Gospel” 3 times in his books, including in Romans 2:16, 16:26, 2 Timothy 2:8. He did this to distinguish them from any other Gospel which, if different, would be “no gospel at all,” according to Galatians 1:9.

God's Grace

God’s Grace – is often defined as God’s gift of unmerited, underserved, unearned favor. Another way to express it is: God’s Righteousness At Christ’s Expense. His Grace is not “cheap” because it cost God the death and separation from His precious, only Son. “Where sin abounds, grace super-abounds much more,” Romans 5:20.

The Four Gospels

These four books are written by four men who give inspired accounts of Jesus’ life on earth – mainly pre-cross. He came under the Law Covenant of Moses to fulfill all the requirements of Law for Jewish believers. (Gentiles were never given the Mosaic Law Covenant by God).

Then, through His sacrificial death, Jesus fulfilled and then abolished the Law for Jewish believers, (2 Corinthians 3:13, Hebrews 8:13 & 10:9). Then it was abolished and nailed to the Cross, (Ephesians 2:14-16 and Colossians 2:13-15). Now, He gives to all those reborn by God a New Covenant – with the (higher) “Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus,” Romans 8:2.

Higher Law

This is the new ”law” that replaced the Mosaic Law (given only to the Jews), as stated in Romans 8:2. This new “law” has three aspects: faith in God’s love for you and in what He has done for us through Jesus and the freedom that brings by being His cherished children through spiritual rebirth.

In Christ

In God’s Big Picture, the only other spiritual condition possible for mankind is to be reborn of God to become spiritually “alive in Christ.” This gift of “being saved” from remaining in Adam forever, was made possible when the sinless Jesus Christ was crucified for the forgiveness of the sins of the whole world. But also, He offers to exchange our evil spirit-self with His righteous human nature – the Divine Exchange – by being crucified with Him by faith, Galatians 2:20 and 2 Corinthians 5:17-21. By receiving His offer, the old, in Adam spirit-nature dies and is gone and we are regenerated (re-begun) as a New Creation spirit-being in Christ. Your soul and body are not yet perfected, but the new you is perfect and seated in the heavenlies by His total grace, Hebrews 10:15 and Ephesians 2:6.

In Adam

The Bible clearly states the Adam and Eve were mankind’s first parents, created by God from the dust of the earth into which He breathed the breath of life. God regarded Adam as mankind’s legal Representative. When he chose to disobey God’s warnings not to eat of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, he became spiritually separated – “dead to God”- and became evil by nature. Unfortunately, that spiritual condition was passed down through all of Adam’s offspring to us today – and is summarized in the phrase “in Adam.” That is why Jesus told Nicodemus that “you must be born again” – spiritually – to see and enter God’s Kingdom – Heaven. The only other alternative to rebirth is the kingdom of Hell. There are only two Kingdoms!

Identity

Identity is used here to mean who someone is or what something is according to God. His view of everything is the only view that counts because He knows the truth and purpose of everything that He created – included humans.

Judaizers

These were Jews who believed in Jesus as the Messiah but also still believed that one had to observe the Mosaic Law to be saved. Paul condemned this heresy in the book he wrote to the Galatians.

… spiritually dead to God in Adam

New Covenant

The last of the Bible’s five main covenants. Hebrews 8:7-13 and 10:16:18 gives some of the promises and benefits of this New Covenant. For example, God has chosen to no longer “remember” or be mindful of the sins of the whole world because Jesus totally satisfied God’s just demands for punishment for mankind’s sin debt. That is total Grace! And, from His viewpoint, God reconciled us to Himself because of Jesus sacrifice. All that remains is for each in Adam sinner to choose to be reconciled to God by believing and receiving what Jesus made possible for YOU to be reborn of God, Romans 10:9-13.

Mosaic Law Covenant

Mosaic Law Covenant – is the fourth main covenant in the Bible that God made with the Israelites through Moses. When individuals or the group kept the 613 laws they agreed to, God blessed them. When they violated the terms, they were punished and sometimes even killed, according to the covenant’s terms. It was a “works-based covenant” which was given primarily to show mankind’s need for Jesus. It was nailed to the Cross so Christians are now under God’s Grace – not the Mosaic Law. Ephesians 2:15 and Colossians 2:14.

Justified by Faith

Receiving God’s gift of perfection/justification spiritually can only come by believing and receiving God’s offer of His perfection through rebirth – by faith in what Jesus did for us.

Post Cross

the term used here to describe all the benefits and blessings that Jesus made possible after His resurrection for all reborn saints in Christ when the New Covenant began.

Outer Man

Paul referred to person’s body and soul as the “outer man” as opposed to his or her true, core self – a spirit being, the “inner man,” Ephesians 3:16.

New Creation

Is the term used in 2 Corinthians 5:17 to describe the replacement of the old Adam spirit-self with a brand new, reborn spirit-self – in Christ – that never existed before.

spiritually, from rebirth (2 Corinthians 5:17)

But you must believe and receive what He has done for you to be “redeemed” from your in Adam nature by rebirth.

Radical Gospel of Grace

The term “radical” doesn’t refer to “extreme” in a negative sense but to the understanding that Jesus’ Gospel revealed to Paul was not based on – or rooted in – the Mosaic Law of the previous covenant but that “root” (radis in Latin) was replaced with the gift of total Grace.

Progressive Revelation

Describes the way God gradually revealed Himself and His plans and purposes for mankind from Genesis through to the Book of Revelation.

Satan’s “weapon” is the Mosaic Law (or any law system) he can use to cause mental guilt, shame and condemnation – all of which Jesus bore/became for us on Calvary.

Righteousness / Justification

Righteousness / Justification – means to be in right-standing or right relationship with God Himself. Adam was righteous in God’s sight until he sinned. Abraham was “imputed” the gift of righteousness by grace just by believing God’s promise to him – even though he was still in Adam. This was in anticipation of what Jesus would accomplish on Calvary to make those reborn in Him receive the His gift of “imparted righteousness” by grace through faith in His Finished Work on Calvary.

Under the Mosaic Covenant, righteousness was earned or lost based on their obedience to the Law. It was replaced with the New Covenant based totally on grace.

Sanctification

Is the process of being made perfect and whole instantly in one’s inner man through rebirth. However, one’s “outer self,” – one’s soul and body – are not made perfect and holy instantly at rebirth.

To experience Jesus’ promise of living and “abundant life” on earth, one’s soul – the mind, will, emotions and conscience – needs to be progressively “transformed” over time by “the renewing of your mind” to learn to walk according to the prompting of the Holy Spirit, not according to the former mind-sets, habits, thought patterns, feelings, appetites etc. formed from living as an in Adam sinner, trained to live according to the “lusts of the body, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life” (1 John 2:16), and following the cravings of the world system and the devil’s promptings and temptations.

The soul will never be fully sanctified before death. The sanctification of the body takes place after death as well, when we get a new body, compatible with heaven. So the Bible can say we are “holy and sanctified,” speaking of our new, reborn self, yet “being sanctified,” referring to our soul and body.

Resurrected and Ascended

We know from scripture that Jesus was crucified, died and was buried, then He arose from the grave and later, ascended to heaven to sit at the right hand of Father-God.

We now also know, through the Fifth Gospel that Jesus revealed directly to Paul, that the same process happens spiritually, by grace through faith, to every in Adam person who becomes ”saved” by being reborn of God through agreeing with Romans 10:9-13.

By doing so, one’s core being – the spirit-self that is dead to God in Adam – is made alive as a New creation, who never existed before, and is now spiritually compatible –“one spirit” with God in Christ. Paul referred to this transformation happening in one’s “inner man.”

The Fifth Gospel

Jesus’ Gospel revealed primarily to Paul in his visit to heaven (2 Corinthians 12:1-6) and recorded in his 13 books. He describes in detail what Jesus accomplished on Calvary and beyond for all mankind. He referred to this Fifth Gospel – the Gospel of Christ (Romans 1:16) – as “my Gospel” 3 times in his books, including in Romans 2:16, 16:26, 2 Timothy 2:8. He did this to distinguish them from any other Gospel which, if different, would be “no gospel at all,” according to Galatians 1:9.

Furthermore, Peter regarded Paul’s revelations from Jesus as “the scriptures,” putting them on a par with the Old Testament – a necessary part of the Bible, 2 Peter 3:15-16. Peter says that some of Paul’s writings are” hard to understand.” Why? Because Jesus revealed some of the mysteries – the deep things – of God about the Unseen Realm and about who His reborn children are in His sight because they are in Christ spiritually. See 1 Corinthians 4:1, Ephesians 1:9, 3:3 & 4 & 9, Ephesians 6:19, Colossians 2:25-26.

Seen Realm

The material Universe that is subject to interactions from both God and fallen angels known as demons.

Total Grace

All the benefits from God in the New Covenant are completely a Free unearned, undeserved Gift from God – earned for us by Jesus’ Finished Work on Calvary, 2 Corinthians 5:21.

Unseen Realm / Kingdom of God

The Unseen Realm/Kingdom of God – is the non-material realm of the God of the Bible, also known as Heaven. But also, the Kingdom of God is wherever the King is and you are born of God, the Kingdom has come into your new-spirit self, 1 Corinthians 6:19.

Unseen Realm / Kingdom of Darkness

The non-material realm of Hell, created for Lucifer, who became Satan when he and one/third of heaven’s angels rebelled and were cast out of Heaven. It is also now the destination of all in Adam humans who reject Jesus’ offer of salvation through rebirth.

And I will be their God, And they shall be My people. ¹¹And they will not teach, each one his fellow citizen, And each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ For they will all know Me, From the least to the greatest of them. ¹²For I will be merciful toward their wrongdoings, And their sins I will no longer remember.” ¹³When He said, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete.

Romans 5:16-17

¹⁶The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from one offense, resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the gracious gift arose from many offenses, resulting in justification.
¹⁷For if by the offense of the one, death reigned through the one, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.

¹⁸So then, as through one offense the result was condemnation to all mankind, so also through one act of righteousness the result was justification of life to all mankind. ¹⁹For as through the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous.

³Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? ⁴Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too may walk in newness of life.

¹Or do you not know, brothers and sisters (for I am speaking to those who know the Law), that the Law has jurisdiction over a person as long as he lives? ²For the married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he is alive; but if her husband dies, she is released from the law concerning the husband. ³So then, if while her husband is alive she gives herself to another man, she will be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress if she gives herself to another man.

⁴Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you also were put to death in regard to the Law through the body of Christ, so that you might belong to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. ⁵For while we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were brought to light by the Law, were at work in the parts of our body to bear fruit for death. ⁶But now we have been released from the Law, having died to that by which we were bound, so that we serve in newness of the Spirit and not in oldness of the letter.
