Spirit of One

Only being one with the Spirit of God enables the Son of God access to everything that is true of God. Everything true of God being equally true of His Son is spiritual, because God is Spirit. Flesh begets flesh, but Spirit begets Spirit; The Son of God is begotten only by the Spirit! His Spirit redefines the flesh as the incarnate word of God. Why then Jesus? What then is the vitality of His name? Simply that He is the incarnation of the word of God, and that mankind is God's image and likeness. He therefore is the definition of who mankind is. By discovering God in Christ, His Spirit awakens in us. By the presence of His Spirit, everything that is true of God is effortlessly maintained as true in you. You are therefore freed from any definition originating from your own actions by having been redefined as originating only from His actions, at the cross. Our life originated in His resurrection from the death He died on behalf of all. Because of the validity and finality of His death, whatever life had defined us in the flesh died with Him. Therefore, our "new" birth and the birth by which the lives we've received for all eternity was given was the "birth" of Jesus from death. Jesus, born from the dead, introduces everlasting life. -f
