Death no longer has mastery over him. .
. . The life he lives, he lives to God. In the same way, count yourselves dead
to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. — Romans 6:9-11
Co-Eternal
Life. 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 is manifested in our
mortal flesh when we are born of God. Eternal life is not a gift from God,
eternal life is the gift of God. The energy and the power which was
manifested in Jesus will be manifested in us by the sheer sovereign grace of
God when once we have made the moral decision about sin.
Ye shall
receive the power of the Holy Ghost — 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 is made ours by means of His Cross when once we make 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 life: “that ye might be filled with all the fulness 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 the 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 and surely the great full life of
God will invade us in every part, and men will take knowledge of us that we
have been with Jesus.
