Our job is to place our entire adamic personality by faith on the cross with Christ, and then to pray and read our Bible each day so we can keep all the commandments of Christ and His Apostles.

As we do this we are confronted with obstacles each day. We then have a choice. We can deal with the obstacle with our adamic nature, choosing what gives us pleasure and maintains our life; or we can look to Jesus Christ and follow Him, by His wisdom and power overcoming the evil with Divine good.

Every time we choose to trust in the Lord rather than go our own way we are fed in the spirit realm with the body and blood of Christ. Adam keeps dying. Christ keeps living.

So then, the word of the LORD to them will become: Do and do, do and do, rule on rule, rule on rule; a little here, a little there—so that they will go and fall backward, be injured and snared and captured. (Isaiah 28:13—NIV)

Line upon line, command upon command, here a little and there a little we change from Adam to Christ. This is the essential nature of the new covenant. When we keep following the Holy Spirit we often go forth and then fall backward, finding ourselves injured, snared, captured. This is the Lord's doing and it is wonderful in our eyes.

Sometimes we become frustrated. We would like to just give up and let God do whatever He wants. But it doesn't work that way. We have to keep on going forth; keep on falling backward; keep on being injured; keep on being snared; keep on being captured. There is no room here for discouragement, self-pity, or passivity.

In addition to this transformation of personality we find God has become our God; that we know the Lord; and that our sins have been forgiven.

This is the order of the new covenant:

That the eternal moral law of God is put in our mind and written on our heart, bringing us into Christ's image and into untroubled rest in the Father through Christ.

That God becomes our God, in place of lesser gods and idols.

That we know the Lord.

That our wickedness is forgiven and our sins no longer remembered by the Lord.

It seems much of the potential contained in the new covenant has not always been taught and experienced in time past. Perhaps Christ has kept the best wine until now. Perhaps now it is time to bring forth people who are in the image of Christ; who are dwelling in total union with God, being married to Christ; whose lives are bringing forth the image of Christ in other people; and who are qualified by the Word of God and competent by training to ascend the thrones of the universe when the Lord Jesus returns.

Let us give to God the best we have that we in turn may receive God's best under the new covenant. (from The New Covenant)
