Hi.

Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in travel, style, and food. Hope you have a nice stay!

We have Jesus's relationship with the Father

We have Jesus's relationship with the Father

The reality of salvation is that Christ has redeemed us and given us a seat at the table. In him, we are at the right hand of our father God. Our relationship with the Father is completely dependent on Jesus. We rely on his performance since his performance is perfect. We have entered into this grace in which we now stand. We get to join the fellowship of the trinity. 

2nd Corinthians 10:3-6 NASB

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not wage battle according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but [b]divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying arguments and all arrogance raised against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, 6 and we are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete.

Paul is saying true apostolic warfare and all spiritual warfare is about keeping our eyes on Christ. We are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. We are reminding ourselves, the spiritual realm, etc that it is all about Jesus. We take every though captive to his obedience. Not yours and not mine. It’s about Christ’s obedience to God and as long as we rely on Christ we are free from the snare of darkness. We can expect an issue in our relationship with God as soon as Jesus has that issue. Which is never.

Jorge, are you saying we should sin because we can depend on Christ?

Absolutely not. May it never be.

Romans 6:1-3

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?


The answer is a resounding no. the reality is: as we depend on Christ, we become like him. When we focus on our self -consciousness, it detracts from the glory of God. We have to rely on Christ and his finished work. We have to stay “in grace” and not “fall from grace.” Grace is the highest place in the Christian experience. Grace is abandonment and relying on God’s unbelievable goodness delivered through his mighty son—Jesus Christ!
