Scripture Reference: Colossians 3:1-4, 'The Resurrected Life in Christ'
Christ centered faith, repentance, salvation and redemption, as revealed in the historical Jesus are direct, dynamic, powerful and Spirit-based human experiences [John 14:6]. The spiritually awake believer is resurrected from spiritual death and now born from above. God's intended Kingdom living in and through the universal Christ of Faith cannot be discerned nor experienced by spiritually deaf, spiritually blind and spiritually dead, human hearts, souls, minds, relationships and lives.
