Through spiritual new birth the fullness of the Godhead dwells in us. For the essence and identity of the Father is only ours through Christ and spiritual new birth, but because this newness takes place in the inner man, the church today does not understand it. Because this new creation cannot be seen, touched, or heard, born-again believers understate its reality. They rather build their beliefs on those things that are emotional, tangible, and self-identifying. Teaching the new man to stand with a renewed mind and an exchanged identity is eternal – whereas teaching the outer man to change is futile and temporal. While the outer man is being destroyed daily, the inner man is being strengthened in God through Christ Jesus.

I will continue our teaching this week in Ephesians Chapter 2. “I just don’t measure up” are words I hear from born-again believers today. They live in the failure of every identity of their past. Their past identities and actions weigh them down with fear and guilt. They received Christ to escape what they were doing as sinners, yet they now live in the guilt of what they are not doing as Christians. For a lack of knowledge, they live a life of conflicting identities, alone in their pain and struggles. If you are born-again and feel that you are trying to be a good Christian and failing, you do not know who you are. You do not know the new person that your spiritual birth created.

Born of God’ may very well be the three most important words in the bible. They are the cornerstone to the mystery of God, and within them lies our union, oneness, and identity with God, the Father. They define God’s purpose, intent, and plan from before the foundation of time. For He chose us in Him before the world’s creation to be holy and blameless in his sight. Outside of spiritual new birth lies man-made religion and their feeble attempts to make a better mankind. Ephesians chapter one will encounter two controversial subjects in the church today – spiritual birth versus adoption and whether revelation is still relevant.

Many in the church today have reduced God to a formula, and Christ to a means to an end. Whether the end is happiness, success, ministry, good health, favor, a happy family, political power, or salvation from Hell, Christ has become the means by which we achieve that end. If the end is good and moral, how can the means not be justified? Our relative definition of a good end has justified greed, ambition, and even here in America – Christian Nationalism – and all in the name of God. It doesn’t matter how mature you are or how pious you have become; Jesus is not the means to an end. He is the beginning and the end, the Alpha and the Omega. But what does all this mean? Let’s discuss this Sunday morning.

According to the Oxford Dictionary, identity is the fact of being who or what a person or thing is. Think about that, the fact of ‘being’. Being is defined as the nature or essence of a person. Therefore, identity is the nature or essence of who a person is. I want to discuss the two things Satan does not want you to know, and both have to do with denying human beings from finding their true spiritual essence – their true, predestined spiritual identity. Join me on Sunday and let’s talk about it.

As I have read Philippians chapter four over the last days and weeks, one thought continually comes to mind – intimacy with God, the Father. To use the phrase spiritual intimacy dares to make it too abstract and not personal enough. Our intimacy with God does not exist in thought or idea, but it is concrete in existence. Our experience of God’s closeness is not a description of his actual proximity to us but of our experience of intimacy with him. Scripture shows us that God is intimate with those who trust him. The more we trust God, the more intimately we come to know him. Likewise, the more intimate we are with God, the more we trust Him. Intimacy is simply what we call the experience of really knowing and being

Throughout life, every person has built both a personal and professional resume. Over time we realize our strengths and skills and we learn to build upon them. Why, because our strengths lead to our success in this world. To some, being a victim is their strength; to others, their advantage may lie in the color of their skin. Many have built their success by using their family name and their pedigree. What would a resume be if it weren’t a list of our accomplishments and qualifications? But, what if our resumes were our greatest enemy? I trust you will join me to hear the answer to these questions found in Philippians Chapter 3.

As our brother David has said, being a spiritual Son is living from the inside out. But it is impossible to live from a spiritual identity that we do not realize. The spiritually born-again live double-minded lives because they neither know who they are nor their purpose.

One of the hardest things to do in life is to be single-minded; or as Meriam-Webster states, having one driving purpose. As spiritual Sons of God, we are constantly challenged to live outwardly a life that is true to our inner man’s spiritual identity. This is what Philippians chapter 2 is about – having the mind of Christ – the mind of the spiritual Son. But it really is beyond that. Paul is telling those in the church in Philippi what being single-minded and having the mind of the spiritual Son looks like.

Paul’s letter to the church in Philippi does not open with a statement of defense of his apostleship. This letter is from a father to a son. As Paul wrote to the Corinthians, “Even if you had ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel”. The Philippians loved Paul and embraced his apostolic authority. Furthermore, the church in Philippi was partakers with Paul in sharing the gospel. Philippians is a missionary thank-you letter in which the missionary reports on his work’s progress and continues to unveil the mystery of sonship.
