"For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus" Galatians 3:26-28
The Greek word that we translate baptized from is baptizo. The best way to explain what baptizo means is to use an example of a cucumber becoming a pickle. A cucumber is submerged into the pickling spice and is forever changed, while it is still looks like a cucumber, it has taken on the characteristics of the spices and even has the pickling spices through it. The cucumber can never go back to being a cucumber; it has been forever changed into a pickle. This is how we now are in Christ, our old man has passed away, and behold the new man, created in God’s image has been born. We may look like our old selves, but we now have Christ in us, on us, through us, and we are now one with Christ, we can never go back.

“I in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that Thou hast sent Me, and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved Me.” John 17:23
We have been crucified with Christ, nevertheless we live, yet it is not us who lives, it is Christ in us Who lives. Praise God we need to say this Truth out loud daily! “We are new creatures in Christ, we have put on Christ, old things are passed away for us, and behold all things have become new for us.” Thank God we have been baptized into Christ and we have put on Christ, and A-men, we are now one with Christ, sealed by the Holy Spirit, and we cannot go back!
“In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise,” Ephesians 1:13
“And grieve not the Holy Spirit, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.” Ephesians 4:30 For how long of time has our Father sealed us with His Holy Spirit? God has sealed us with His Spirit until the day of redemption! The Holy Ghost doesn’t seal us for just a moment, or just as long as we act right, no! The Holy Spirit seals us until the day of redemption. The day when Jesus returns to the earth! We are new creatures in Christ, who have been sealed with the very Spirit of God! We have been made one with the very Anointing of our Father and we are now the Temples of God, how awesome are these Truths? These Truths set us free and faith comes by us hearing them! These Truth will set us free from fear, from sickness, from doubt, and from sin! “Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:11 We are alive unto God, just as Jesus is alive unto God! We have been baptized with Christ and we have put on Christ! We are one with Him right now. We are not one with Who He was, we are one with Who He is! “And now O Father, glorify Thou Me with Thine Own self with the glory which I had with Thee before the world was.” John 17:5 Jesus has been raised from the dead, death has no more dominion over Him, and He now has the complete and full glory of God; this is Who we are now one with!
“I am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. Revelation 1:8 This is Who we are one with! “I am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive evermore, A-men; and have the keys of hell and death.” Revelation 1:18 This is Who we have put on and Who we have been baptized with!

“And in the midst of the seven candlesticks One like unto the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and His hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and His eyes were as a flame of fire; and His feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnance; and His voice as the sound of many waters. And He held in His right hand seven stars; and out of His mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and His countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. And He said unto me, Fear not; I am the First and the Last.” Revelation 1:13-17 This is Who is in us and Who we are in, and this is Who we are perfected with!
“And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.” Ephesians 4:23-24 We have been born again and have put on the new man that has been created just as the Alpha and Omega was created! The Beginning and the Ending, the Almighty, Who is alive for evermore has perfected us by allowing us to become one with Him! He lives within us and His voice thunders the Word of God through us and His brightness shines from within us! “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.” Matthew 5:14 We say so casually that we are saved, but the Truth that sets us free is that these verses describe the glory and power of Who we are now one with! We have been created with the same righteousness that created Jesus and we are now new creatures in the same holiness that glorifies Jesus! The Light of Jesus has driven out the darkness of sin that was in us! The keys of death and Hell are in His hands, and He has used them to set us free from the torment that they deliver! Jesus has set us free from death and hell by raising us up together with Himself! “And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:” Ephesians 2:6
Let’s talk about the word Christ, which means the Anointing of God, for a minute. We use the word Christ a lot as Christians; so let’s make sure that we know what it means. When we read Jesus Christ, it means Jesus the Anointed One. So with that in mind we can accurately say, we have been baptized into the exact same Anointing as Jesus, we have put on the exact same Anointing that God used for Himself, when He came to the earth as a man! Take hold of that Truth, we have been given the exact same strength that God gave to Himself when He was here as a man! We are continually one with the exact same anointing that God gave to Jesus, so that He could work through Jesus! Our Father has freely given us His glory and the Holy Spirit has made us alive together with the Anointing of God! We can do nothing without the Anointing, yet with it, we have been strengthened, just as Jesus was strengthened, so that our Father can now do everything through us. Our Father actually desires for us to be used by Him to do marvelous and miraculous things! “Herein is My Father glorified that ye bear much fruit, so shall ye be My disciples.” John 15:8
Father I ask You in Jesus’ Name to allow the mind that was in Christ to be in us, so that we will know just as powerfully as Jesus knew Who we are in You and Who You are in us! "Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power to usward who believe, according to the working of His mighty power," Ephesians 1:16-19 In Jesus’ Name I ask You Father for the same things for us, that You enlighten us completely on being baptized into Christ so that we will know the greatness and power of Your Anointing within us this day! Father Your will be done!
