Be the Christ You Are: Unveiling the Eternal Truth

Introduction

In this enlightening article, we will explore the profound revelations found within the Bible, specifically focusing on the eternal truth revealed through Jesus Christ.

The Truth Revealed

The Bible, a timeless masterpiece, transcends secular history and serves as a divine revelation. Jesus Christ, the embodiment of truth, is portrayed as the creative force and wisdom of God.

Scripture invites us to choose whom we will serve, and Jesus, in his unwavering commitment, declares his allegiance to the Lord. As witnesses to ourselves, we are challenged to examine whether we are truly serving the law, which is the ultimate truth.

The Wonderful Human Imagination

But who is this Christ that scripture speaks of? It is none other than our own wonderful human imagination. The Christ of Scripture is the divine essence within us, the very spark of God.

Understanding this truth is paramount, for it is through our imagination that we manifest our desires and shape our reality. However, we must remain steadfast in our faith, as the fickleness of human nature often leads us astray.

The Perils of False Gods

Beware of turning to false gods, those who make empty promises and lead us away from the one true God. Scripture teaches us that remaining faithful to the one and only God ensures our success in this world.

The contrast of truth in scripture is not with falsehood but with the fickleness of human nature. We must resist the temptation to turn to other gods, for they are mere illusions that cannot bring true fulfillment.

The Power of Imagination

To fully embrace the teachings of scripture, we must recognize the power of our imagination. Scripture allows us to see beyond what our mortal eyes perceive, to envision a reality that is yet to manifest.

When we persist in our assumptions and beliefs, our imagination becomes the bridge between the unseen and the tangible. Scripture teaches us to pray with the conviction that we have already received, for it is through this unwavering belief that our desires are brought to fruition.

The Covenant with God

As we embark on this journey of faith, we enter into a covenant with God. Scripture speaks of a covenant of faithfulness, a promise of love from God to His people. Just as God made a covenant with David, He/She makes a covenant with us.

We become witnesses to this covenant, as we realize that we are the sons and daughters of God. Our imagination becomes the dwelling place of God, and through this realization, we fulfill His promise within us.

The Eternal States

Scripture often speaks in metaphors and symbols, using characters and events to convey eternal truths. These characters are not mere individuals but represent states of being that we all pass through on our journey. The climax of this journey is the state of Jesus Christ, where we find union with God.

As we reach this state, everything said of Jesus Christ in scripture becomes true of us. We become the embodiment of God’s love, wisdom, and power.

The Power of Choice

In the book of Joshua, we are presented with a powerful choice: “Choose this day whom you will serve.” Joshua declares his allegiance to the Lord, emphasizing that the Lord is “I am,” the only true God.

This choice is not a one-time decision but a continuous commitment to remain faithful to the one true God. Scripture challenges us to examine our own choices to determine whether we are turning to false gods or remaining steadfast in our faith.

Awakening to Your True Identity

Just as the temple was split from top to bottom, our own bodies are fit from top to bottom, infused with divine fire. When we awaken from the slumber of ignorance, witnesses bear testimony to our rebirth, and the Holy Spirit descends upon us.

The world suffers from collective amnesia, believing themselves to be mere mortals. But when we awaken, we become aware of our true identity as Christ. The world may see us as John Brown or Mary Smith, but we know that we are Jesus Christ, the embodiment of God’s love and power.

Embracing Your Divine Nature

The world may try to convince us otherwise, but we must hold steadfast to our divine nature. Scripture teaches us that we are not defined by our external circumstances or societal labels.

We are the creators of our reality, and through our imagination, we can manifest our desires. By embracing our identity as Christ, we tap into the limitless power of God within us. No earthly power can hinder the fulfillment of our dreams when we remain devoted to God.
