THE TAKEAWAY:
We lost the image and likeness of God:
- Kept physical image
- Lost spiritual, invisible life image
- Appears Adam & Eve died second death first
- Consequently, we were spiritually stillborn
- We were dead in trespasses and sins
Restored at the Cross and at what Jesus Christ calls BORN AGAIN:
- We were quickened, made alive
- Development in likeness and image begins
- Transformed spiritually and physically
Everything becomes new:
- New blood-washed heart
- New and constantly renewing mind
- New living, redeemed soul
- New God-focused strength
In Jesus Christ, the last Adam:
- Once again and called upon to harness God’s mind
- Once again communicating with our Father lips-to-ear
- Once again I can think God’s thoughts
We are commissioned of God to walk in the three Holy Ghost Staggerments and here they are:
- To THINK God’s thoughts;
- To SEE through God’s eyes; and
- To SPEAK God’s Words.
