John 8:51 (New International Version, ©2010)
Very truly I tell you, whoever obeys my word will never see death.”
Christformation happens in us when we keep His word. To keep His word means to obey His word.Whoever obeys His word will never see death. "Never see death" means live etenally.Eternal life is only found in the Lord Jesus Christ because He is that Word.
Do you know that from Genesis chapter one to Revelations twenty one its Him.The present heavens and the earth will pass away but He will remain. Because He remains, anyone in whom Christ has been formed will remain forever too.If Christ our Lord is not formed in you, you will not remain. You too will pass away into the eternal lake of fire because Eternal life is not found in you, therefore you will perish forever and ever.
The only Way to God who created us is through Jesus Christ our Lord and the only way for Christ to be formed in our born again spirit is obedience to His word.At one time we didn't but now we must because the only way to put to death the sinful nature of the Devil in us is through obedience to His word.This is what Christ our Lord had said to each of the seven churches in Revelations Chapter two and three.
If you "overcome you will inherit" something.Overcome what, you may ask? Yes, overcome the sinful nature of the Devil in you. That would mean, putting the sinful nature of the Devil in you to death, only then will you inherit Chtistformation in you.There must be no trace of the sinful nature of the Devil in us anymore, if we have believed in Christ. The Devil's nature will be put to death one by one until there is none by our obedience to God's word in Christ. Christ our Lord is God's Word in us. As He is formed in us, God's word is formed in us.The present heaven and earth will pass away but His word in us will remain.How can that word be formed in us unless we obey it as it says.We can never fool God with what we claim only but not follow.You have to hear God's word and follow what the Shepherd and Overseer of our souls says through it.
Romans 8:13 (New International Version, ©2010)
For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.
Revelation 21:7-8 (New International Version, ©2010)
Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children. But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”
"Inherit all this" means what? Yes, inherit full-Christformation in you.Do you realise that even a liar will be thrown into the Lake of fire. In this world,lies are 'small sins' but not so with God who is Holy because lies come from the sinful nature of the Devil in us.We need to even overcome that and be victorious over that too.
John 8:42-46 (New International Version, ©2010)
Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on my own; God sent me. Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me?
