Email from Abiding Place Daily Bread – October 7, 2024 (The Second Day – Genesis 1:6-8) 1 Corinthians 3:11 – For no other foundation can be laid other than the one in place, which is Christ Jesus. The Foundation – The Life of Christ Jesus We must understand that the life of Christ is the foundation set into place by God. The foundation encompasses all the Father wills for us to be and to do in Christ. The life of Christ is the heavenly pattern and model that pleases the Father and represents the redeemed and consecrated life. Even more important than the First Covenant, we should beware and take heed we do not alter the pattern of the Son that we are commanded to follow (Isaiah 28:16-17; Mark 8:34; John 10:27; 1 Peter 2:21; Exodus 25:9,40; Hebrews 8:5). Those who are on this foundation will conform to the image of the Son and turn away from wickedness to live the life modeled for us by Christ Jesus (Romans 8:29; 2 Timothy 2:19; Hebrews 6:1). The foundation consists of being born of God, being made sons of God, being made one with Christ Jesus, no longer living our life but the life of Christ, walking in the Spirit, being made the righteousness of God, being baptized in the Spirit, doing His work and even greater works, being the representatives of Christ Jesus in the Earth, accepting the same inheritance, and living out our lives as the living Epistles of Christ (John 1:12-13, 3:3,5, 14:12, 17:21-23; Mark 16:17; and 1 John 3:9,24, 4:4,7, 5:1,4,18; 1 Peter 1:23; Romans 8:14; Galatians 2:20, 4:6, 5:16; Colossians 1:28; and 2 Corinthians 3:3, 5:17; 1 Corinthians 1:30, 8:6; Ephesians 2:5,6).
