A New, Perfected, And Spiritual Creation

 God blessed Adam and his wife and then He explained to them what they were to eat. "Look," He said, I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.
 Sadly, due to disobedience and sin, the God-ordained authority that man had been given over the earth was transferred to Satan, who was the 'god of this age'... for a season... but the Lord in His omniscience knew that man would sin and in His goodness and grace formulated His amazing redemption plan that would span 7000 years of human history.
 We, who are saved by grace through faith in Christ, are one part of that precious plan of salvation. We live in 'the dispensation of the grace of God', we are members of the Body of Christ, and we are positioned in Him. Although there is no direct revelation of the 'mystery of the Church' in Old Testament Scriptures - there are tiny hints and little pointers towards the sacrifice that Christ would make for the Church, which is His Body, for Adam was a type of Christ and Eve, Adam's bride, was a type of the Church.
 Just as Eve was taken out of Adam, so the Church is quickened from the dead for we are a part of His Body, bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh. Just as Adam, the husband, is the head of Eve, his wife, so Christ is the Head of the Church and we are members of His Body. Together we make up one New Man, where Christ is the Head and we are all part of A New, Perfected, And Spiritual Creation.
 The day is coming when we will be like Him. Today, by grace, we are 'living stones' being built up into the Body of Christ.
Genesis 1:29 Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.

Our United Prayer:
​Heavenly Father, thank You for the Word of God and the beautiful truths it contains. Thank You that despite man's sin, You placed in motion Your perfect plan of redemption. Thank You that by faith in Jesus, we are new creations in Him and part of His spiritual Body, bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh. May we live and work to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
