Our New Reality
In Christ, we have been made citizens of Heaven, meaning that Heaven is now the reality of our new lives on earth.
What does that mean? We no longer see this world through the eyes of the natural; our lives are not governed by what we see or hear. It is governed by the reality of Heaven. We see this world through spiritual eyes.
Earthly knowledge comes in the form of facts, information, and the skills we gain through experiences and education. Earthly wisdom is the way that seems right to a man; it is the act of applying the knowledge gained through experience to accomplish a purpose.
Heavenly knowledge is to know God and His ways experientially. Heavenly knowledge is increased as we surrender our lives continually to God and grow in intimacy and relationship with Him. Heavenly wisdom is the understanding God gives us to rightly regulate our relationship with God and release His goodness to the world around us.
All the treasures of Heavenly wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Christ and revealed as we spend time with Him. Our new reality is TRUTH.
Questions:
- What do you allow to influence your world? Earthly wisdom or heavenly knowledge?
- In what ways do you allow earthly wisdom to influence how you perceive the world? In what ways do allow heavenly knowledge to influence you?
About this Plan
Through Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, we have been redeemed back into union and communion with God. We are now new creations and citizens of Heaven. We have a new identity and a new reality. We will break down our identity, reality, and faith and love - the two key elements of our new life in Christ.
