The “STANDARD”/SPIRITUAL PROFILE – ITS CHARACTERISTICS and ITS WORKS
In my other booklet “The MYSTERY REVEALED of WHO IS INDWELLING WHOM” {Go to www.mysteryworldview.org click of the icon “ONENESS.”}, I shared with you the package deal of our “ONENESS” with and in God and He in us. In this PART TWO, our new divine “STANDARD”/spiritual profile and the characteristics of our divine nature of all Born Again Christians will be revealed as part of this “ONENESS”.
This “STANDARD”/spiritual profile is the same for every new creation! Instantly as a new creation in Christ, God looks at you through your faith in Jesus Christ and the cleansing by His shed blood of all your sins as being of the same “STANDARD”/ spiritual profile of having the same attributes/nature of sinless created Adam and our sinless Savior, Lord God, and Master – Jesus Christ i.e. as being without sin, (1) righteous, (2) perfect, (3) holy, (4) pure, (5) and blessed. (6) Each attribute of your new “STANDARD”/spiritual profile now combined reveals our “ONENESS” in spirit character with God and also comes with a works that God predestined for you – a process called sanctification (7) and will be represented as the “(a)” listing following its respective number. Sanctification is the process which immediately follows justification whereby the new believer is set apart by God for his/her predestined ministry.
Your being without sin:
(1) It was God [personally present] in Christ, reconciling and restoring the world to favor with Himself, not counting up and holding against [men] their trespasses [but canceling them], and committing to us the message of reconciliation (of the restoration to favor). (2 Corinthians 5:19) AMP
(1a) But all things are from God, Who through Jesus Christ reconciled us to Himself [received us into favor, brought us into harmony with Himself] and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation [that by word and deed we might aim to bring others into harmony with Him]. It was God [personally present] in Christ, reconciling and restoring the world to favor with Himself, not counting up and holding against [men] their trespasses [but canceling them], and committing to us the message of reconciliation (of the restoration to favor). So we are Christ’s ambassadors, God making His appeal as it were through us. We [as Christ’s personal representatives] beg you for His sake to lay hold of the divine favor [now offered you] and be reconciled to God. (2 Corinthians 5:18-20) AMP
Your being righteous:
(2) And that I may [actually] be found and known as in Him, not having any [self-achieved] righteousness that can be called my own, based on my obedience to the Law’s demands (ritualistic uprightness and supposed right standing with God thus acquired), but possessing that [genuine righteousness] which comes through faith in Christ (the Anointed One), the [truly] right standing with God, which comes from God by [saving] faith. (Philippians 3:9) AMP
(2a) But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. (Matthew 6:33) NKJV
Your being perfect:
(3) to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written {in the Book of Life} in heaven. You have come to God, the judge of all men, to the spirits of righteous men made perfect. (Hebrews 12:23) NIV
(3a) You, therefore, must be perfect [growing into complete maturity of godliness in mind and character, having reached the proper height of virtue and integrity], as your heavenly Father is perfect. [Leviticus 19:2, 18.] (Matthew 5:48) AMP
Your being holy:
(4) And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through his own blood. (Hebrews 13:12) NIV
(4a) Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God — this is your spiritual act of worship. (Romans 12:1) NIV
Your being pure:
(5) Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is. And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure. (1 John 3:2-3) NASU
(5a) Meditate on These Things. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy — meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you. (Philippians 4:8-9) NKJV
Your being blessed:
(6) And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” (John 20:28-29) NKJV
(6a) Loving God Under Trials. Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. (James 1:12) NKJV
(7) In this [union and communion with Him] love is brought to completion and attains perfection with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him], because as He is, so are we in this world. (1 John 4:17) AMP
(7a) For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live]. (Ephesians 2:10) AMP
Your new “STANDARD”/spiritual profile also includes a new heart of flesh which enables you to truly love and serve God and others. You also received a new spirit which will enable you to connect up to God the Holy Spirit so you can walk in and keep God’s commandments heeding them as you became an adopted son or daughter of God and a servant to God and others. (8) In order for your new spirit to connect up to God the Holy Spirit Who lives in you and to have communion with Him, you must renew the spirit of your mind. (9) The process of renewing your mind is involved in the life long process called sanctification whereby God sets you apart from the world and sin to be directly involved in His foreknown, preplanned, and predestined ministry/work for you through your testimony declaring His holiness and righteousness to the world as you make Him your Lord God and Master. (10)
(8) I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. (Ezekiel 36:26-27) NKJV
(9) And be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind [having a fresh mental and spiritual attitude]. (Ephesians 4:23) AMP
(10) For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. (Ephesians 2:10) NKJV
(10a) I am speaking in familiar human terms because of your natural limitations. For as you yielded your bodily members [and faculties] as servants to impurity and ever increasing lawlessness, so now yield your bodily members [and faculties] once for all as servants to righteousness (right being and doing) [which leads] to sanctification. (Romans 6:19) AMP
As a new creation, your new “STANDARD”/spiritual profile will develop in you its divine nature – the way you live your daily life as found in the Fruit of the Spirit. (11)
(11) by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
Fruitful Growth in the Faith. But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.
Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (2 Peter 1:4-11) NKJV
(11a) But the fruit of the [Holy] Spirit [the work which His presence within accomplishes] is love, joy (gladness), peace, patience (an even temper, forbearance), kindness, goodness (benevolence), faithfulness, Gentleness (meekness, humility), self-control (self-restraint, continence). Against such things there is no law [that can bring a charge]. (Galatians 5:22-23) AMP
Your new divine nature of the Fruit of the Spirit will be implemented and reflected in your life according to the Golden Rule and the Royal Law of Christ. (12) The proper implementing of the Fruit of the Spirit will bring to fruition in your life a shield of faith that will extinguish all of the flaming darts of the enemy. (13)
(12) And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise. (Luke 6:31) NKJV
(12a) Bear (endure, carry) one another’s burdens and troublesome moral faults, and in this way fulfill and observe perfectly the law of Christ (the Messiah) and complete what is lacking [in your obedience to it]. (Galatians 6:2) AMP
(12b) If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well; (James 2:8) NKJV
(12c) Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” (Matthew 22:37-40) NKJV
(13) above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. (Ephesians 6:16) NKJV
As a new creation, your new “STANDARD”/spiritual profile will equip you for the ministry of holiness and righteousness that God foreknew and preplanned for you through the Gifts of the Spirit. (14) Which predestined one(s) do you have in the ministry that God gave you? I believe they are all available to you during your life time as ministry demands, but it takes special discernment and the leading of God the Holy Spirit and His gifting you with a discerning spirit to use them wisely and in His time to glorify God. (15)
(14) for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills. (1 Corinthians 12:8-11) NKJV
(14a) Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually. And God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues. (1 Corinthians 12:27-28) NKJV
(14b) And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. (1 Corinthians 13:13) NKJV
(14c) Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness. (Romans 12:6-8) NKJV
(14d) And He Himself {Jesus Christ} gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head — Christ — from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love. (Ephesians 4:11-16) NKJV
(14e) As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (1 Peter 4:10-11) NKJV
(15) The Sorcerer’s Profession of Faith. But there was a certain man called Simon, who previously practiced sorcery in the city and astonished the people of Samaria, claiming that he was someone great, to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is the great power of God.” And they heeded him because he had astonished them with his sorceries for a long time. But when they believed Philip as he preached the things concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were baptized. Then Simon himself also believed; and when he was baptized he continued with Philip, and was amazed, seeing the miracles and signs which were done. (Acts 8:9-13) NKJV
As we come to the conclusion of this booklet, we understand that at your conversion, God has imputed to you through His Spirit the “Fruit of the Spirit” – your new character, the “Gifts of the Spirit” – your new ministry, and most of all – He made available the “Sound Mind of Christ” which enables you to figure this all out, put it together, and make it work in your life to and for God’s Glory according to His Word, the leading of God the Holy Spirit, and the multitude of counsel! (16)
(16) For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7) NKJV
(16a) For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ. (1 Corinthians 2:16) NKJV
(16b) And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him {Jesus Christ. Because we are co-heirs with Christ, we have inherited the following} — the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the reverential and obedient fear of the Lord. (Isaiah 11:2) AMP
(16c) that their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. (Colossians 2:2-3) NKJV
(16d) But to man He said, Behold, the reverential and worshipful fear of the Lord — that is Wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding. (Job 28:28) AMP
(16e) And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (Romans 12:2) NKJV
(16f) Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. (Colossians 3:2) NKJV
(16h) For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, (2 Corinthians 10:3-5) NKJV
(16i) For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
Sonship Through the Spirit. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors — not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs — heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. (Romans 8:5-17) NKJV
(16j) “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts. (Isaiah 55:8-9) NKJV
Only through God the Holy Spirit’s proper indwelling and authority in your life, can His Fruit, His Gifts, and the Sound Mind of Christ reach their full fruition! The Fruit of the Spirit which is your new character and the Gifts of the Spirit which enable you to have a viable ministry in Christ are absolutely necessary for you to be the new creation in Christ that you are! But the Sound Mind of Christ must be taught and promoted more by Christ’s Bride Church to enable True Believers to know how to use these endowments to spiritually navigate through these end times. It is for your salvation that you must understand what is being revealed in the spiritual supernatural realm of the spiritual supernatural Kingdom of God Biblical Christian Worldview!
