Now we all with new understanding see ourselves in him as in a mirror - 2 Corinthians 3:18

In Him the invisible God is made visible again; in order that every one may recognise their true origin in Him, He is the firstborn of every creature. (In Him we clearly see the mirror reflection of our original image and likeness.)

Colossians 1:15 [Mirror]

Precious in the sight of the Lord Is the death of His saints.

—Psalm 116:15 NKJV

Hebrews 6:20 By going there on our behalf, Jesus pioneered a place for us and removed every type of obstruction that could still distance us from the promise. In him we are represented for all time; he became our High Priest after the order of Melchizedek. We now enjoy the same privileged access he has. (He said, ?I go to prepare a place for you so that you may be where I am. On that day you will no longer doubt that I and the Father are one; you will know that I am in the Father and you in me and I in you!? John.10:30, 14:3 and 20.)

move on

Hebrews 6:1

A mindshift from attempts to impress God by your behaviour, to faith-righteousness in Christ, is fundamental. There is no life left in the old system. It is dead and gone; you have to move on. (Rom. 3:27)

God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him

—John Piper

spiritual warfare

I’ve been thinking about spiritual warfare lately and how we have placed so much emphasis of the demonic and given power to the enemy. We have built entire belief systems and fear systems around Ephesians 6:12:

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

Yet Colossians 2:15 reads: 

[God] disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged against us and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over them in Him and in it [the cross].

Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. ~ Luke 10:19 (NKJV)

Before that, Ephesians 6:10 from the Mirror reads:

In conclusion, and with reference to the theme and context of this writing, I encourage you to realize your strength in the Master; your union with him is your limitless resource.

Lets focus on the limitless resource because of our union with Jesus, since He disarmed it all at the cross. The enemy is defeated because of Jesus finished work.

God’s rest celebrates his finished work; whoever enters into God’s rest immediately abandons his own efforts to compliment what God has already perfected. (The language of the law is “do”; the language of grace is “done.”)

your true identity

Instead, remind one another daily of your true identity; make today count! Do not allow callousness of heart to cheat any of you for even a single day out of your allotted portion.
