Summorphos!

 

God's eternal plan in Christ Jesus was for man to have the same form as Christ. It was his  dream that we became vital partakers of his divinity! That is why we got born again! In the New birth is the revelation of the begotten of God! In our knowledge of God's love is the discovery of our origins, through birth, in God! Romans 8:29, 'For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren'. This is mind blowing! Here, we get to find out that God conformed the believer into the image of his son, such that Jesus became firstborn. The word, 'conformed' comes from the Greek, 'summorphos'. It means to have the 'same form as another'.Many have thought the idea of being conformed to his image is the 'Imitation of Christ'. This is no imitation, rather it's a transmutation! It is a Glorious change of form from earthy to heavenly!  This is the present day revelation concerning Jesus Christ and the Father; he no longer is the 'ONLY BEGOTTEN' of God, but through his Glorious resurrection, he has become the  'FIRST BEGOTTEN'! This same truth is mirrored in Colossians 1:18, 'And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.' Jesus is the firstborn from the dead; so we are too! He enjoys preeminence as firstborn, but we have got as much as he has got; we are joint-heirs! Why should this be? Love is the reason why! Love has birthed us bona fide sons of God having the same form as our Lord Jesus! Little wonder he calls observing the Lord Jesus as the Glory of God amounts to looking into a mirror! As he is, so are we in this world! #Reflection #Pleroma
