The Fall, Redemption and What it Means to Humanity Part III

In Part II we discovered that faith is the only way to overcome the greed brought about by the survival instinct. It is in this that Jesus of Nazareth became the first born among many brothers/sisters. If we can truly believe, rest in the certain knowing that we are eternal, then and only then can we transcend the ego and become selfless or unselfish. This was Jesus true obedience. He had perfect faith and, his perfect faith was his obedience. He was able to completely transcend ego. We are told in John's gospel account that Jesus didn't do anything unless he was told to do it by the Father. In this way, Jesus was completely connected to the source. He achieved this via the Holy Spirit, that is to say, the Spirit of God had connected perfectly with his spirit. That was the Christ nature that Jesus had. It is the same Christ/anointing that is promised to the believer. It is the Christ that indwells us and is our hope of glory. Faith in Jesus is what gives us the Christ anointing. If we will truly accept with a deep knowing that we have this Christ in us, the Christ will give life to our natural body.

If we stay connected to the source at all times via the Christ, then we are made alive in the spirit and it is this spiritual life that will bring healing and deliverance. In fact, this is the only place in which humanity can receive true deliverance. It is a deliverance that enables us to transcend the ego just as Jesus did. The scripture also states that as Jesus was in the world so are we. We are if we stay connected to the source by acknowledging the Christ in each of us. It is truly the hope of our glory. It is the hope and the source of the transformation that is approaching. This transformation is a shift in the spirit. It is a shift from the ego to the spirit. It is a shift from greed to selfless love; the agape love of God the source. It is all by virtue of the indwelling Christ which is another way of saying the indwelling ever present spirit of God; our connection to the source.

Herein lies deliverance, healing and the transcendence of the ego. Herein lies the kingdom of God and the shift from ego to anointing. Jesus is the pattern. Let us acknowledge the ever presence of the source, God and thereby we connect to it.
