2Cor.5:17(Amp) says, "Therefore, if any person is ingrafted in Christ Jesus (the Messiah), he is a new creation (a new creation altogether), the old previous moral and Spiritual condition has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come."
We need the knowledge from God's Word and the Holy Spirit, to reveal who the new creation man/woman is. Man and carnal knowledge have tried explaining it to us, but if we only remain carnal in our understanding, then we will not know who we've become in Christ Jesus. The new creation is a spirit being, made in God's Own Image and Likeness. The new man/woman Spiritually abides in Jesus, but we live in a natural body, like Jesus did during His earthly ministry.
The Holy Spirit inspired Paul to write in 2Cor.5:1-2, where he reveals that our flesh and blood bodies are houses where our spirit lives, while we're still on this earth. The real you is the new creation man/woman, who was born from the dead spirit, joined together with Jesus and made Alive, through faith in Jesus. We were separated from God, because of Adam's sin. The Last Adam Jesus paid that which was brought upon us by Adam, by His Sacrifice on the cross and when we put faith and accept His Sacrifice, we were cleansed and Redeemed by His Precious Blood and created new in Him.
The part of us that was made a new creation, is our spirit and not our flesh. We need to learn who we've become, through the Revelation knowledge by the Word and the Holy Spirit. The carnal mind and flesh can't understand nor reveal anything to us, concerning our place in God our Father. Religion is man's idea of what this means and most teach that we can't know what this means, until we go to Heaven.
We keep trying to arrive at and walk in the Spirit, according to our own ideas of what this really is. One would think we could see how we're living far below what the Word says we are now. When God brought man into existence, he was a being that confounded all of creation, according to Psalm8:3-6(Amp). David, who saw by the Spirit, what God had done when creating man, was astonished, saying, "When I view and consider Your Heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained and established. What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of earth born man that You care for him? Yet You have made him but a little lower than God, and You have crowned him with glory and honor. You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet."
This was and is, God's original intent and purpose for His children and mankind. When the Psalmist stopped to consider all the wonders of God's creation, he asked God, "What is man that You have considered him above all that You have created and made." He saw creation in all it's glory and asked God, "Who or what is man, that You have placed him over all these wondrous works?"
Can you image getting up in the morning, going outside to see the glory of the morning sunlight, knowing that you were and are more important than these. God didn't create these things for Himself, but He created them for us. We are the most important thing in God's heart and Kingdom. We've believed that God is displeased and disapproves of the most important thing in all His creation. God's great heart created us, so we could be His family and we would be His greatest joy.
We think salvation is just going to Heaven when we die, when it really means that now through Jesus, we are God's children like He desired from the beginning. God can now dwell with us and we cam now dwell with Him. Jesus prayed in Gethsemane, saying in John17:22(Amp), "I have given to them the glory and honor which You have given Me, that they may be one even as We are One." The same glory and honor with which God made man in the beginning has now been restored to us again through Jesus. The Psalmist tells us that, "Man was more glorious in God's eyes and heart, than all of creation."
We've lost sight of how Loved we are and how our Father sees and thinks of us. We were so important to Him, that He died and shed His Own Blood, in order to Redeem, pay for and received back into this place of Glory and honor in His sight. We need to stop seeing ourselves and thinking about ourselves, before we were born-again. Jesus restored us back into God's favor and Glory. He has placed us back into the original intent God had when He created man, in His Own Image and Likeness.
Eve was born of Adam's flesh and bone, and the two are one. Jesus said, "I have given them the glory and honor which You have given to Me, that they may be one even as We are One." The Holy Spirit speaks through Paul in Eph.5:32(Amp), about the relationship between a husband and wife, saying, "This mystery is very great, but I speak concerning the Revelation of Christ and the Church."
We've lost sight of this mystery and the Revelation of "The two are One in Him." We can't let the world's idea about this new creation, to taint the thinking of our heart. This is the true Love of God in our lives today through Jesus. No one who loves his wife, would ever want her to be sick, hungry, put out of his sight, or to believe she wasn't loved. If he truly loved her, then he would die for her. How much more does our Husband in God, Love us? The devil has lied to us about our Heavenly Father and has told us that, "God could never love you." We can't believe his lies, but we must believe God's Word instead. We have a marriage covenant with Him and it is "Forever settled in Heaven and on earth."
