Key Verse: 'And because you are children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying "ABBA"!, Father ! (Galatians 4:6).
The mystery of the Feast of Christmas is the birth and manifestation of the incarnate Christ (ADONAI, JEHOVAH), God's image and likeness, in human flesh (Genesis 1:26-31). By following Jesus Christ as Messiah in living the Paschal Mystery in the mind of the spirit, all mankind can be delivered from slavery to sin in the mind of the flesh. In faith, humility and obedience, we can all pass over into the freedom and abundant life in Christ, in the mind of the spirit (John 6:36).
In the fullness of time God sent Christ, the Son Begotten Only of the Father, in the power of the Holy Spirit to be incarnate in Jesus Christ, as mankind's Messiah and Divine messenger. In Jesus Christ God has revealed mankind's full humanity and mankind's full divinity in and through Christ, in the mind of the spirit (Genesis 1:31). It is through the incarnation of Christ, God's image and likeness in the spiritual body of every person, that men are no longer strangers to salvation. By faith we have become members of the universal and mystical body of Christ, in the mind of the spirit (Romans 8:1-11, Galatians 4:4).
As children and heirs of God in Christ, in the mind of the spirit, spiritually awake believers in all traditions, religions, cultures, ethnic and secular groups experience the Godhead's Spirit-based redemption and spirit-based second birth in Christ. In the mind of the spirit, believers are lifted beyond themselves and their cultures, into the universal, Christ-centered, born again experience. In spiritual adoption by faith, in the mind of the spirit, these believers are born from above (Romans 8:9-13, Galatians 4:5).
By the mighty power of the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ as Messiah, was made perfect man in human flesh, in the Virgin Mary his mother. Through the mystery of Christ's incarnation in Jesus Christ, and in all who follow him in living the Paschal Mystery, believers are delivered from the bondage and slavery to sin. In the mind of the spirit believers receive power to become children of God. In this spiritual adoption, God has sent Christ, the Spirit of His Son, into believers hearts crying "ABBA!" Father! (Galatians 4:6).
Christ-centered spiritually awake believers in all traditions, religions, cultures, ethnic and secular groups are no longer strangers to salvation, nor slaves to sin in the mind of the flesh. By faith, humility and obedience and following Jesus Christ in living the Paschal Mystery in the mind of the spirit, they are now children and heirs to God, through Christ (Galatians 4:7).
Do you now have a clearer understanding of the mystery of the Feast of Christmas, the birth and manifestation of the incarnate Christ (ADONAI, JEHOVAH), God's image and likeness, in human flesh (Genesis 1:26-31)? Are you following Jesus Christ as Messiah, in living the Paschal Mystery, in the mind of the spirit, so you can be delivered from slavery to sin, in the mind of the flesh? Are you in faith, humility and obedience, within witnessing paschal faith community, passing over into the freedom, love, grace, truth and abundant life in Christ, in the mind of the spirit (John 6:36)?
