Subject: does eternal have a beginning? |
Bible Note: Hi ethan, You had an earthly beginning when you were conceived by your father and mother. Until you were born you were just in the head (imagination) of your father; just a "gleam in his eye". I agree that we were included from the beginning and are sons of the Father from the beginning. But we had a spiritual birth and now "hold fast to the Head, from whom the entire body, being supplied and held together by the joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God." Colossians 2:19 Col 1:17, "...and in Him all things hold together. He is also the *Head of the body, the church; and He is the *Beginning, the first-born from the dead; so that He (Himself) might come to have first place in everything...through Him, I [Paul] say, whether things on earth or things in heaven." Colossians 3:4, "When Christ, who is our Life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory." Right now we are walking through life with Him. So walk in (Him). Ephesians 5:8, "...for you were formerly darkness, but now you are *light in the (Lord); walk as children of Light (for the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth), trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord."
