In My Father's House- You are the mansion!

* FATHER'S HOUSE *




Jesus, the Pattern Son; the household of faith, the Body of Christ

SCRIPTURES:  Lk. 6:48; Jn. 14:2, 23; 2 Cor. 5:1; Gal. 6:10; Eph. 2:19-22; Col. 1:19; 2:9; 1 Tim. 3:15.

The "father's house" is the house that the father lives in.  "House" is from the Greek "oikia" (Strong's #3614) which means "residence (abstractly), but usually (concretely) an abode (literally or figuratively); by implication a family (especially domestics)."  Compare "oikos," translated in the King James Version as "home, house, household, temple."  Note also the word "mone" (Strong's #3438) which means "a staying, residence (the act or the place)," and is translated in the King James Version of John 14:2, 23 as "mansions" and "abode."  Vine's Dictionary adds that there is nothing in the word "mone" to indicate separate compartments in Heaven.

Jesus, the Pattern Son, the Word made flesh, was the "house" that the Father lived in.  He declared, "In My Father's house are many mansions [dwelling-places]"--in Him there is a place for us (Jn. 14:2).  Paul explained that "it pleased the Father that in Him [Jesus, the Son] should all fullness dwell...For in Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily" (Col. 1:19; 2:9).  Moses' Tabernacle (Ex. 25-40) and Solomon's glorious Temple (1 Kg. 5-8) prefigure Him who is the "true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man" (Heb. 8:2).  The archangel declared to the virgin Mary, "The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee:  therefore also that holy thing that shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God" (Lk. 1:35).

When Jesus spoke the words of John 14:2, He wasn't on His way to Heaven, but to Calvary!  Through His finished work, we didn't receive a "mansion;" we became His "mansion," His temple, the habitation of God through the Spirit (1 Cor. 3:16; Eph. 2:19-22)--the "abode" for the Father and the Son through the Person of the Holy Spirit (Jn. 14:23).  The "house of God" is the Church (1 Tim. 3:15; Heb. 3:5-6).  We are to build our "house" (life, family, ministry) upon the Rock Christ Jesus (Lk. 6:48-49).  Paul declared this mystery, "For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens" (2 Cor. 5:1).  The apostle admonished, "As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith" (Gal. 6:10).

WHO HE MADE ME TO BE

   Some of my Position in Christ

I.‘I am Secure:’ free forever from condemnation {Rom. 8:1-2}. I cannot be separated from the love of God; and I have been forgiven, established, anointed and sealed by the Holy Spirit— Romans 8:35-39; 2 Corinthians 1:21-22. I am “hidden with Christ in God,” can find mercy and grace “in time of need,” and am born of Him and thus cannot be touched by the evil one— Colossians 3:3; Hebrews 4:16; 1 John 5:18. 


II.          ‘I am Accepted:’ a child of God, the friend of Christ, and one spirit with Him— John 1:12; 15:15; 1 Corinthians 6:17. The Father has declared me righteous in His sight, adopted me into His Family, given me direct access to Himself through the Person of Jesus Christ, redeemed my soul and forgiven my sins, and made me complete in His Son— Romans 5:1; Ephesians 2:18; Colossians 1:14 and 2:10. 


III.‘I am Significant:’ I am created in Him from the foundation of the world. I am the salt and light of the Earth {Mat. 5:13-14}; a branch of the True Vine, a channel of His Life {Jn. 15:1-5}; a personal witness of Jesus Christ {Acts 1:8} entrusted with the “ministry of reconciliation” {2 Cor. 5:18}. I am God’s “workmanship, created ...for good works;” I can approach Him with freedom and confidence, and “do all things through” Him “who strengthens me,” through the One who keeps on pouring His power into me— Eph. 2:10; 3:12; and Phi. 4:13. I am healed completely spirit, soul and body. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Well Known Sayings- Not the Truth

Have you ever heard any of these sayings from well-meaning Christians?

"I'm just a worm compared to God."

"I'm a sinner."

"I'm nothing in the light of who God is."

"I must decrease so He may increase."

These phrases can be quite common in certain areas of Christianity - certainly the types of Christianity I've been exposed to seem to have them not just as throwaway statements but as core underlying doctrines!

But they aren't really true!

We are not sinners, we are saints!

We are not worms - we are sons and daughters of God.

We are not nothing in the light of who God is... we have become the very light of God on this Earth!

I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus!

II Corinthians 5:17 says, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"  WOW... That means that we do not posses or claim that stinking rotten flesh any longer, but rather we have been transformed into Children of the Most High God.  Romans 8: 17 says, "Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory."

We are the image and likeness of God... there is nothing that has or ever will exist that looks more like God than you.

That thing you see in the mirror every day, is the best physical representation of God there has ever been. 

Humanity is God's best idea.

We know this because God became human in the person of Jesus and in no way, shape or form became anything less than 100% God!

We often hear people talking about how we must be careful not to steal God's glory... we must decrease so He can increase.

But this is a very flawed notion too. Yes, John the Baptist had to stop gathering people to him in the Jordan River so they might follow Jesus instead. But that doesn't mean we repackage his terminology and build a doctrine of self around it.
