Spiritual Perception

How does our Heavenly Father perceive us, dearly beloved? Does He see us according to the flesh? No, He says since we have His spirit born in us that we are no longer in the flesh, but in the spirit. He says that we don't even know Christ after the flesh any longer.

New things have come beloved; the things of the spirit. He says that the spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in us!

He says that we are the righteousness of God in Christ, there is no more condemnation to us, and that nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. He says that He judged us in Christ as righteous. Christ dealt with the guilt and condemnation of sin; he justified us from its reign over us.

When he returns for us he will deliver us from the presence of sin. He will give us glorious new bodies like his.

Our Father says that we stand encircled by His grace to us in Christ and that we are at peace with Him.

He says that we are in Christ, and as members of his body he has filled us with all in all of us; every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ.

He says that are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus. In Christ we are holy and without blame before Him. We are saved, redeemed, forgiven our sins by the riches of His grace. We are His heirs and joint-heirs with Christ.

He says that He called us to obtain the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. He gave His only begotten Son for us to this end.

Perhaps we should have the spiritual perception to see ourselves as He sees us. We are in Christ beloved; God says that we died with him, were raised with him, are alive with him, we are seated in the heavenlies in him, and we will be glorified together with him!

Believing comes by hearing, and hearing the Word of God. Believe who our Heavenly Father says we are in Christ, beloved, it's true.

Have the eyes of your understanding enlightened by believing His Word concerning who we are in Christ.

Stand on it, and walk in the reality of who you truly are: by the grace of God you are in Christ and you have all that he accomplished for you beloved!! You are a son of God with power and He freely gives you all things with Christ.
