[The Glory Unveiled]
“For we are mingled with the Messiah, if we will continue unshaken in this confident assurance from the beginning until the end.” [ Hebrews 3:14 TPT ]
The Christian’s advantage is positional, and this position is conditional. Our advantages are also conditional, signifying that what believers experience as a result of Christ comes with conditions. This ensures that Christ remains the ultimate Lord, fostering unity in Him. It’s crucial not to assume unrestricted freedom, as the One placing you in a position can also remove you from it. Being partakers with Christ requires faithful continuation in our confident assurance, much like a grafted tree is part of another as long as it remains connected. Persistent continuation with the Lord signifies our mingling with Christ, where we’re intimately connected, expressing His essence and life. Our position dictates influence and perception, not as a birthright but as a privilege from submitting to Jesus. However, this positional privilege is precarious for the self-conceited. Hence, the caution that one who thinks they stand must watch lest they fall (1 Corinthians 10:12). This caution is exemplified in Samson’s experience with the anointing on his life. Believing the anointing was at his disposal, he overlooked that access was due to consecration (position). He learned this lesson rather belatedly. Our identity is shaped by where Jesus placed us, a result of His actions. To maintain this, we must submit to the order and obey the One who made it possible.
