DNA IN CHRIST

The very first page of the New Testament starts with a long genealogy (Mt.1:1-17). I’m thrilled to see the Son of God includes Himself in the genealogy of mankind. He came into man’s genealogy so man could come into God’s genealogy. In Christ, God’s DNA is in you! God in you is the climax of the New Testament truth (Co.1:27). This very thought is more than enough to transform you into the image of God.

Jesus was conceived in Mary’s womb as by God’s pure, holy seed through the Holy Spirit. Before Joseph was united with Mary, God intervened. There was no mixture of human element. The same thing happened to you in your salvation. When you heard the Word of truth (seed), the Holy Spirit took that seed and produced Christ in your spirit. In a sense, you are more privileged than Mary (Lk.1:48). Mary carried Jesus for nine months in her womb, but you carry Jesus since your salvation. You are born of God, not of the will of flesh nor of man (Jn.1:13). The Holy Spirit came upon you and overshadowed you. The holy One, the Son of God, was born in you.

Beloved, the miracle of new birth can never be understood by the natural mind. Even the most sophisticated theological mind hesitates to embrace the truth of life in Christ. It can never be understood by your knowledge. It must be revealed to you by the Holy Spirit (Ro.8:16).

Keep your brain submitted to the Holy Spirit and His revelation knowledge. This is vital for life in Christ! Christ Jesus is growing in you day by day. Please don’t mix your human element and suffocate Him! Protect and nurture Jesus in you. Your greatest privilege is to bring forth Christ into this world.
