"But God, Who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:" Ephesians 2:4-5
Let’s also read this verse in the Amplified Bible. “But God--so rich is He in His mercy! Because of and in order to satisfy the great and wonderful and intense love with which He loved us, Even when we were dead (slain) by [our own] shortcomings and trespasses, He made us alive together in fellowship and in union with Christ; [He gave us the very life of Christ Himself, the same new life with which He quickened Him, for] it is by grace (His favor and mercy which you did not deserve) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ's salvation).”
God has an intense love for us; He loves us just as He loves Jesus, John 17:23. “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.” We all say that our Father loves us, but His love is so intense for us, that He had to do something to satisfy it. Our Father needs to love us. He is unwilling to be without us, so He did something about it, He made us alive with Christ, even when we were dead in sins! He made us alive together with the exact same life force that He used for Jesus; that He uses for Himself. God has made us alive together with the exact same Anointing that He gave to Himself when He came to the earth and manifested Himself as a man! The Anointing that God trusted to keep Jesus alive and in full power and in full fellowship with Him while He was here as a man, has now been given to us. The very thing that our Father trusted for Jesus, is exactly the same thing that He trusts for us! How awesome in that Truth?
What does it mean, even when we were dead in sins? It means that our Father was not willing to wait to have fellowship with us, so He enabled us to have fellowship with Him on this earth, as well as for all eternity. Our Father wants us to be alive with Him right now and forevermore, so that our oneness with Him will be used to reveal the Light of Truth that will save the world! We too have this love, this intense and wonderful love within us, we are one with it, it consumes us just as it consumes our Father. This is why there is such a desire for me to preach that we are one with God, this unity with our Father through Jesus is what He will use to win the world! Think about it, all nations at one time worshipping God: China, Iraq, Iran, Russia, India, and Africa, as well as Europe, the America’s, and yes even Israel! The world, a glorious church without spot wrinkle or blemish, a world where our Father is magnified, and man lives in the victory of our Father's magnification. This is what our unity with God through Christ will allow the world to have!
