The Light of Men

this person existed in the beginning from God, all things were created through him nothing came into existence apart from him. In him exists life and the life exists the light of men.*

He was in the beginning with God, and all things came into existence through him, he was the word of God that existed with God, that became flesh and dwelt among men. He was a light in the darkness and the darkness could not comprehend it, and he was in the world and the world was created by him but the world did not know him. He came to his own people but they did not accept him. Now, to as many as receiving the light, he gave the right to become children of God. A light shined forth in the world that enlightens all men, and this light shows us the way to true life.

that which existed in the beginning we have heard, like as seeing with our eyes, like as gazing upon, and our hands have touched concerning the word of life.*

The light pointed men to eternal life, which is not just a ticket to heaven, but he exists the word of life that gives life. This word of life is like eating bread but not like earthly bread that fills the belly and gives life to flesh, no, this is food that gives much more. This food is above the life of this world, as it endures unto eternal life. This is the life that was written about, that every man shall not live by earthly bread alone but to the extent of every word coming through the mouth of God.* Unlike the Old where God spoke through a mediator, the words of God now come to men, through a greater oath, a better promise, and hope, and fulfillment of the promise of life, through the one who was the Word of God in the beginning with God and was God.

This life was revealed and seen and testified and proclaimed to you, eternal life, that existed with the Father and was manifested to us, whom seeing and hearing we proclaim to you so that you also have fellowship with us...*

The new covenant is a ministry of life.* Christ died for our sins so that we participate in his death, no longer living to the sinful nature, and if we participate in his death then also we participate in his life. We come into existence a new creation, the old is passing away and the new is coming into existence.* "In him exists life and the life exists the light of men."* The words of Jesus exists eternal life thus the light showing us the way to life. Walking in newness of life, is to walk in the light, as he is the light in which we have fellowship, and if we have fellowship with him, also the Father, a completion of joy to those in the world but children of light.* The solution for overcoming the flesh and the world, and the way to have a light unto your path to life is to feed on food that endures unto life. Like a lamp unto my feet and light unto my path, I commit my path, laboring for the word of life. Amen.

The New Living Way

The New Living Way "... Now, at the present released from the Law, having died in that which held us captive, so that we serve in newness of Spirit and not the old written code " -- Romans 7:16 Paul states that we are now united to Christ in his death and also raised with him into newness of life. What held them captive was sin but also the Law, it was a guardian until the appointed time God would send a Messiah (see School Master ). Paul uses the metaphor of marriage to describe how we are released from the Law; like a wife whose husband dies, now she is released from the Law and can marry another, so also have we died with Christ and are released from the Law and bound to Christ in a new covenant. The purpose of this is that we live in a new living way of the Spirit and not fleshly through the old written code or Mosaic Law. " So then brothers, you also have died to the Law through the body of Christ to the extent you exist by creation of another, the one raising you f...

New Testament Growth in Christ: From Foundation to Fullness

  New Testament Growth in Christ: From Foundation to Fullness The New Testament presents a vibrant and multifaceted picture of spiritual growth, not as a static event but as a dynamic, lifelong journey for the believer. This journey, with emphasis on a strong foundation, progresses through a transformative process of maturity forged by endurance, ultimately aiming for the profound goal of experiencing the "fullness of God in Christ." The Foundation: A New Creation The inception of growth in Christ is marked by a radical spiritual new birth, a foundational shift that defines the Christian experience. It is not merely a moral reformation, but a divine act of creation. The apostle Paul declares this truth in 2 Corinthians 5:17 : " Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come ." This new creation is initiated by faith in Jesus Christ, where believers are justified and reconciled to God through His sacrifice. ...

Putting On the New Self

Putting On the New Self Theme: Spiritual Growth & Identity in Christ Key Scripture: “And to put on the new man, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.” — Ephesians 4:24 (ESV) 🕊️ Day’s Reflection The Christian journey is not about becoming a better version of our old selves. It is about walking in The New Living Way , putting on the new man created in the likeness of God. Scripture calls us to put on the new man , and this call is not symbolic or abstract. It is a command grounded in spiritual truth and lived out in daily walking as Christ walked. 📜 Scripture for Meditation 2 Corinthians 5:17 (ESV) “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” Ephesians 4:22–24 (ESV) “To put off your old man, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new man, created after the likeness of...
