Ephesians 4:4-6

[There is] one body and one Spirit—just as there is also one hope [that belongs] to the calling you received— [There is] one Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of [us] all, Who is above all [Sovereign over all], pervading all and [living] in [us] all. Ephesians 4:4-6

There is only one body, Jesus Body, and we are all part of it. There is not your body, my body, and Jesus’ body, we are all Jesus’ body. We have all been raised up together with Him. We all have shared in His death and now we all share in His resurrection.

We were buried therefore with Him by the baptism into death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious [power] of the Father, so we too might [habitually] live and behave in newness of life. For if we have become one with Him by sharing a death like His, we shall also be [one with Him in sharing] His resurrection [by a new life lived for God]. Romans 6:4-5

Think about Jesus’ Body. Can it sin? Can it be possessed? Can it be deceived? Can it backslide? No it cannot and we are now one with that Body. This all has all been freely given to us so that sin can never have any power over us. Our Father did what the Law could not do. 

We know that our old (unrenewed) self was nailed to the cross with Him in order that [our] body [which is the instrument] of sin might be made ineffective and inactive for evil, that we might no longer be the slaves of sin. Romans 6:6

We have One Spirit, the Holy Spirit, and that Spirit will never let us fail or fall short. Our Father’s Spirit will always cause us to be victorious. Our Father is above us all and He is in us all. So if all of this is true, how can anyone ever believe that He will not get His way have all men be saved and come to the knowledge of the Truth?

I heard a preacher say last week that our Father loves us so much that He gave us the freedom to do what we want. How? If He is Living in us and we can do nothing on our own as Jesus tells us in John 15, how? It is impossible for us to ever do anything on our own, just as it is impossible for our hands to ever do anything on their own, apart from  our bodies. We are never left alone and we are never forsaking by our Father. So we can have absolute peace. We are able to enjoy peace that passes all understanding, because we know the Truth and have been set free by it. 

Even so consider yourselves also dead to sin and your relation to it broken, but alive to God [living in unbroken fellowship with Him] in Christ Jesus. Romans 6:11

So consider yourself dead to sin, because you are dead to sin. We have been set free by Grace and all of the burdens of the flesh have been removed from us. We are part of the victorious and eternal Body of Christ.
