1 | Questions on the Divine Nature | NT general Archive 1 | prazn | 85720 | ||
Does a believer partake of the divine nature of Christ through the observance of religious tradition/ritual or through real/genuine relationship with the Master? Are we, who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, conformed to His image by what we ingest in the natural or what we ingest in the supernatural? Is communion with the Lord merely the ingestion of the natural elements of communion (i.e., bread and wine) or is it "heart to heart" communion with our Lord through the reading (ingestion) of His word (our spiritual bread) and by allowing Him to minister to us through His Holy Spirit (our spiritual wine)? |

A believer CAN NOT partake of the divine nature of Christ without a genuine relationship with the Lord; and still this relationship must be a proper servant-master relationship. Even still, a believer must become a disciple and be willing to forsake all that s/he has in the world. We are conformed to the image of the Lord through what we ingest supernaturally from God. This is why we are admonished to think properly; why we are to remember that we do not struggle against people but against powers and principalities; why we can do all things through God who strengthens us, etc. The natural world is the evidence of the spiritual; it is a copy of sorts. So, as we "ingest" the Holy Spirit, the evidence of this will be our actions, thoughts, and speech in the natural world. Personally, I feel that communion is "heart to heart" but that the ritual is the evidence of our servant/master relationship in that He commanded us to do it in remeberance of Him. |
