Organic Transformation



Ephesians 3:14-19 ESV 

For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.


There is a difference between knowing and comprehension. The first is abstract and the second is organic.  Knowing can include a thought or belief that is held in the head. Grasping or comprehending is when that thought or belief seeps down into the heart and soul. It is no longer something that is contemplated from a distance, but becomes one with the body of the contemplator, the organic transformation in body of Christ. 


Transformation of the mind leads to transformation of the body which is what happens when we are created in the image of Christ. 


If we have the mind of Christ, we will soon have the body of Christ. Flesh of His flesh and bone of His bone. 


We are the body of Christ here on earth. We are like He was on earth before He ascended into heaven. We are given the mind of Christ He had during His time in the wilderness. We have the Holy Spirit. 


We are in the collective body of Christ for now. We can have our individual body of Christ in the time to come.
