IMPLICATION OF YOUR NEW NAME 2

2 Corinthians 3:18

But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.


We've seen from our teaching yesterday, that ever since we were called by the name of Jesus Christ, all the truths of the name and life of Jesus Christ became our truth in the now. We have become who God has said we are. Many people think they are not yet who God has said they are, and so they need to work to become who God said they are. That's wrong! 


We don't work to become. We work, having already become who God said we are! We became when we believed! We don't pray to become. We pray because we already are! Our theme verse says, we with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of God, are changed into the same image from glory to glory by the Spirit of the Lord.


This talks about the renewal of our soul (mind, thoughts, Emotions, will, etc) to conform to the image of God! This verse didn't say as we behold, we should go and work towards becoming, no! He said as we behold, we are changed! So the moment you beheld it, it became true about you! When you discovered that truth in Christ, it became your truth as well. To behold is deeper than merely reading. It is to see scripture with understanding and faith!


Your duty is to believe it, confess as such, and you'll function as such. In essence, we are not becoming who God said we are. We already are who God has said we are, and our mind, thoughts, soul is being renewed to conform to the image of our new being. We have become, and we are discovering who we have become. Everyday, our mind and soul conforms more gloriously to the image of our new identity in Christ. Glory to God! We are called by a new name. The name of Jesus Christ, and the implication of that name are our truth in the now. Glory to God! 


Remain on the Word and in prayers. You're blessed! -TCF
