The moment you are redeemed through the atoning
death of Christ upon the cross, you receive
the Holy Spirit within your human spirit.
You have passed from death to life raised
from the dead and the life which has
been imparted to you by the Holy Spirit
is the very life of Christ himself.
He made us alive together in fellowship and
in union with Christ.
He gave us the very life of Christ
himself, the same new life with which he
quickened him Ephesians 2-5, the life that
the Lord Jesus Christ lived for you nineteen
hundred years ago condemns you, but the life
that he now lives in you saves you.
The Christian life is the life which he
lived then, lived now, by him in you,
as he behaved in the sinless humanity which
the Father had prepared for him then, so
he wants to behave in your humanity presented
to him now, your mind placed at his
disposal through the indwelling Holy Spirit, your emotions,
your will, all that you are and have
made available to the Lord Jesus Christ as
a living member of his new corporate body
on earth, which is called the Church.
This is the new law in action, the
law of the Spirit of life in Christ
Jesus, re-establishing the faith-love relationship between
your soul and God, making it possible for
you to declare the Son, as once the
Son declared the Father, your behaviour mechanism once
more wholly deocentric instead of egocentric, so that
the commandment of the law may find fulfilment
in you, whose conduct, no longer under the
control of your lower nature, is directed by
the Spirit.
A radical change of government.
