(Christ's) life (is) a template for the “life” (in the Spirit) that we are (predestined) to live.
[Pastor; Col 1:27]
In this spiritual senario we have a comparative parallel to the parable of the “talents,” in Matthew's gospel.
[Matt 25:14-30]
What often gets lost in the story line here is that, although Christ's work is “finished,” He is still (continuing a work, by His Spirit) IN us ...in the earth; hence the “gifts,” whereby we might be fruitful in every good work.
[Jn 19:30; Pastor; Jn 16:33; Eph 4:8; Col 1:10]
Jesus did say we could do nothing without Him; which accounts for the necessary relationship, with the Father and the Son, already foreordained. [Jn 15:5; 17:21]
There is more to be said about “the will of God IN Christ Jesus concerning you;” to be explored in a later journal.
[1 Thess 5:18]
