in the fl esh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me." When you gave your life to Jesus in the new birth, you gave Him honor and reverence by believing the good news that Almighty God Himself was inviting you into eternal Blood Covenant with Him. You acknowledged with your words that He died for your sins and was raised from the dead for you (Romans 10:9-10). You're no longer your own. You are bought with an awesome price—the eternal blood of the spotless Lamb of God (1 Corinthians 6:20). He honored His Father by becoming the Covenant sacrifi ce so you could be made a new creature in Him (John 8:49; 2 Corinthians 5:17). The Father has further honored His sons and daughters, the Church, "the pillar and ground of the truth" (1 Timothy 3:15) to be the revealer of the manifold wisdom of God: "to the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known [or revealed] by the church the manifold wisdom from his descendants (Genesis 26:4). God honored His covenant with Abraham. As the Redeemer, He came down and was born of a woman, born of the Covenant that was given to save mankind (Genesis 22:18). The WORD made fl esh, born of Abraham, honored His Father by Covenant-associating Himself with guilt, sin, sickness and fear-ridden humanity, and was named Jesus (translated from the Hebrew: Jehovah is salvation, deliverer of Nazareth, Ben- Adam, or the Son of Man.) That mutual honor paved the way for the manifestation of the Father's master plan; His masterstroke of complete Redemption for all men, for all time, that was planned and fi nished by God from the very foundation of the world (Matthew 25:34; Hebrews 4:3; Revelation 13:8). His eternal plan redeemed man forever from the grip of his illegitimate stepfather, satan. Honoring the Covenant What is my part in honoring this glorious and powerful Covenant, cut and sealed forever in the precious blood of the Lamb of God? God, the Creator of the universe, has honored me by calling me His child (John 1:12), and Jesus, the resurrected LORD of all, honors me by calling me His blood brother (Hebrews 2:11). So, what should I call myself ? First, I renew my mind to who God says I am in His WORD. I honor Him by agreeing with the New Covenant, and I declare that I am a born- again child of the living God with His life and nature living in me (John 1:12; Galatians 5:22). According to Ephesians 3, the whole family of God, both in heaven and earth, has been named after Him (verses 14-15). I am in Him, and He is in me; and with Him, I am a joint heir of all that is His (Romans 8:17). I call myself re-created in His image and likeness, fi lled with His own Spirit (John 14:17) and made His righteousness (1 Corinthians 1:30). I call myself more than a conqueror through Him who loves me (Romans 8:37). I call myself seated together with Him in heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:6). I honor Jesus, my Covenant Substitute on the cross. I have been crucifi ed with Him. I have died, and my life is hidden with Christ in God (Colossians 3:3). I am in Him, and He is in me— for eternity. Galatians 2:20 says, "I am crucifi ed with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live We are living in a time where entire generations have not experienced God's honor and presence.
