No Knock-off

I have said in earlier posts that to the Father, we look just like Jesus.

That is not exactly right.

We’re not some cheap knock-off, some comic impersonator in a goofy wig…we ARE Jesus, in the earth! We are His Body and we have this treasure in earthen vessels! The Word multiplied…

We are already seated with Him, in Him, in heavenly places! [Ephesians 2:6]

One Spirit with the Lord! [1 Corinthians 6:117]

ONE SPIRIT WITH THE LORD!

And Jesus and The Father are One… [John 10:30]

‘”The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are One; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, EVEN AS YOU HAVE LOVED ME.”’ [John 17:22,23]

That’s why all things belong to us. Because we’re One with the Word Who created all things—all things are for and by Him.

‘So then let no one boast in men. For all things belong to you, whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come; all things belong to you, and you belong to Christ; and Christ belongs to God.’ [1 Corinthians 3:21-23]

‘He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?’ [Romans 8:32]

‘…yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him. [1 Corinthians 8:6]

‘For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.’ [Romans 11:36]

‘And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.’ [Ephesians 1:22,23]

‘For in Him ALL THE FULLNES OF DEITY dwells in bodily form, and IN HIM you have been made COMPLETE…’ [Colossians 2:9,10]

And [this will really blow your mind]…He is the RADIANCE OF HIS GLORY and the EXACT REPRESENTATION OF HIS NATURE!!! [Hebrews 1:3]

‘For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.’ [Colossians 3:3]

So what does that make us?

Think about it…

Sorry for so many exclamation points…I just couldn’t help it.
