Christ-life or self effort Played my 1st 9 holes of the year with my son Christo yesterday afternoon! Was such fun! Realized again that you cannot blame the club or the manufacturer if your swing is the problem! I hear people quit on grace and the mirror message, and even on Jesus, because their experience becomes their reference. Jesus successfully rescued the real you, not the pseudo, make-belief you! God has never believed less of you than what he was able to communicate in the sonship that Jesus mirrored and redeemed! So wonderful to know that he never quits on us! ~ Francois du Toit Jesus exemplifies the character and every attribute of God in human form. Heb 1:3 Colossians 3:9 That old life (defined by the fruit of the I am not-tree, the law of personal performance) was a lie, foreign to our design! Those garments of disguise are now thoroughly stripped off us in our understanding of our union with Christ in his death and resurrection. We are no longer obliged to live under the identity and rule of the robes we wore before; neither are we cheating anyone through false pretensions. (The garments an actor would wear define his part in the play but cannot define him.) 3:10 We stand fully identified in the new creation renewed in knowledge according to the pattern of the exact image of our Creator. 2 Peter 1:8 While you diligently rehearse the exact qualities of every divine attribute within you; the volume will rise with ever increasing gusto, guarding you from being ineffective and barren in your knowledge of the Christ-life, displayed with such authority and eloquence in Jesus. (“These things being in you.” The word, uparcho, translates as to begin under, from upo + archomai, to commence or rehearse from the beginning.) ~ mirror bible
