• Christ Jesus loves you

  For the Holy Spirit so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Joh 3:16 The Holy Spirit is the eternal, omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent Creator of all things by the Word.      What world is John speaking of?         ➛ The earth and all the people born into humanity.      The Holy Spirit is love and love is of the Holy Spirit.      The world was created by our Lord and it is good.     We know that man chose rebellion against the Holy Spirit and so humanity became evil.     But the Holy Spirit loves the people of this world and so He birthed Christ Jesus into the world to redeem it and us.      The Gospel is heard and those who are hungry are lead by the Holy Spirit to believe and receive the Truth.      The Truth sets us free from sin, from death and hell and brings us to Eternal Life by the infilling of the Holy Spirit.      Here is understanding:    ➛ Everlasting Life is Eternal Life    ➛ Eternal Life is union with the Holy Spirit.

• Christ Jesus has forgiven you

  In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Eph 1:7 Our forgiveness and elevation to sonship are two of the amazing riches of His Grace.      Notice that it says we have forgiveness of sins.     It does not say we can get forgiveness of sins.      The reality is that Jesus has once and for all time forgiven all sin for all people past, present and future.      The Sin that we should focus on is the sin of unbelief.     It is what separates men from the Lord.     It is what prevents us from receiving the blessings that Grace has provided.      (All other sins are an issue for men but not an issue for the Holy Spirit because of the shed blood of Jesus)

• Christ Jesus has given you Eternal Life

  For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of the Holy Spirit is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Rom 6:23 The sin that condemns to the Lake Of Fire is rejection of Jesus Christ Joh 3:18.      The gift of the Lord Jesus is His own Eternal Life, which is relationship with His Holy Spirit Joh 5:26.      There are two types of death:    ➛ physical death Heb 9:27    ➛ spiritual death Rev 21:8.      Adam and Eve did not immediately die physically when they sinned.     However, they immediately died spiritually Gen 2:17.      When a person sins, whether believer or unbeliever, the result is an aspect of death.     Somethings shrinks or shrivels instead of growing when sin occurs Joh 10:10.      Jesus gives us His life.      What is His life?         ➛ His Holy Spirit Joh 1:4.      Eternal Life is another name for His Holy Spirit.      To reject the Holy Spirit Of Christ Jesus is to reject Christ Jesus Himself Joh 8:19 Act 7:51.      We don`t receive Jesus when we believe on Him.     Rather, we receive His Holy Spirit in the Name Of Jesus who manifests Eternal Life in and through us Joh 3:5 1Jn 4:2.      The Holy Spirit Of Christ Jesus is who will raise us at Christ`s return Rom 8:11.      The gift of Himself is irrevokable Joh 14:16.      However, if we let sin reign in our mortal bodies we will suffer the consequences of that sin destroying our physical lives, our testimonies and our walk with the Lord Col 1:10.      Instead of us living a victorious, productive life with treasure laid up in heaven, we will be saved as by fire 1Cor 5:5.

• Christ Jesus has made Abundant Life possible

  The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. Joh 10:10 The thief is Satan who is the inspiration for all the evil in the world.      Whereas the `I` is Jesus who offers us Eternal Life and Abundant Life.      This verse is a powerful statement contrasting the nature of the enemy with the nature of our Lord Jesus Christ.      Note that the enemy takes by force what is ours, while we must appropriate by faith what is ours in Christ Jesus.      The appropriation is not a `one and done` thing.     Rather, it is an ongoing process throughout our lives on this earth.      Jesus has given us His life in giving us His Holy Spirit who is in every believer who has asked to be filled.     We aught to invoke His life into every aspect of our walk in the earth.

• Christ Jesus has imputed His Righteousness to you

  But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who by His Holy Spirit is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 1Co 1:30 The Holy Spirit Father is Christ in us.

• The Holy Spirit Father of Christ Jesus has birthed you as His child

  For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Holy Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. Rom 8:15 Fear is bondage but we have been set Free Indeed by Christ Jesus and are now New Creatures seated with Christ in Heavenly Places.      The Heavenly Places is His Holy Spirit.

• Christ Jesus has made you a joint heir with Him of all He has

  Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of the Lord through Christ. Gal 4:7 We went from servants of the Law to sonship and so heirs of the Holy Spirit.

Therefore, Graith represents the bonding of two concepts: Provision and Appropriation.   

Provision is accomplished by Grace.   That is Christ's part.   

Appropriation is accomplished by Faith.   That is our part.
