The Unity of Faith

Col 1:4  Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,

Both faith and love are resources discovered IN of Christ. They are revealed in us and through us.  As we die to, and come out of ourselves, we discover that we live from another Person whom we demonstrate, mainly Christ.

Christ lives His own life. We minister not only from that other Person, but minister that Person.

We evolve from ministering a word of knowledge or prophecy, to minister a Person.  This Person performs  His own perfect ministry,  as He lives His perfect life through us, and for others.

This transpires by faith and the dying to self. We are dead and buried, and we find ourselves living in that other Person, mainly Christ. Our former person and identity are buried and gone.

Paul located himself living out of Christ. The Christian life is encountering states of revelations and locations in the Spirit realm.

Php 3:9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

Col 1:4  Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,

The measure of faith and love that we function in, are the same measure of faith and love which Christ works in. This is called the unity of faith.

Eph 4:13 Till we all come ( KATANTAO) in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:

Unity of faith is finding ourselves operating in the same faith that Christ has.

Unity, is oneness of identity, with all the same riches of perfections which Christ has.

Till we all come (Katantao).

Katantao is to arrive at, gain access to, and find ourselves in.

Unity of faith ,allows us to enter and access the same onenesses or unities enjoyed by Christ.

The maturation of the perfections of the Person of Christ  is at our finger tips.  All of our unities with Christ have rolled unto our shores.  We find ourselves living in them. As we suddenly find an object which had been lost, we discover ourselves living in the unities of what Christ has, and is.

Php 1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

Gal 2:20  I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

We  implement outwardly, what the Son of God works within us. The apostles, preached a revealed person.

Ac 3:20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:

Ac 8:5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.

Ac 9:20 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.

1Co 15:12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?

2Co 1:19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.

Col 1:5  For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;

The expectation or hope which is laid up, is as a napkin  laid up on a table. This is also found In Christ.

What we need, always originates as  expectation. Faith, in the expectation brings manifestation. Our expectation is in The Person of Christ and not in things.

6  Which is come unto you (the expectation has arrived and is at your fingertips), as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:

Our obedience to Christ results in fruit. Christ’s expectations have rolled in, and bring forth immediate fruit.

Fruit, is manifested, completed and perfected result.  Fruit is revealed or entered into by faith. We discover ourselves bearing fruit, just like Christ did. This is a unity of faith.

What Christ expects to happen, results in manifested and completed fruit . Hence the confidence of faith. Expectation is discovered, and brings forth the immediate fruit of manifestation and results. This is a unity of faith!

Eph 3:12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

Col 1:9 ¶  For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

10  That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

Literal Greek: in every Spirit led work bringing immediate and concrete results by your faith, and being grown up in the full perception or recognition of who is the Person of Christ  living in, and being ministered by you.

The Person of Chris,t brings forth immediate fruit of matures manifestation and results.

This is the goal of the faith of Christ revealed in you.

11  Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power ( according to the dominion brought by His glory), unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;

Greek: Christ has every ability to do anything and everything. The word for “might” is dunamis power, or power in ability.  We discover ministry in the realm where every ability to prosper, is at our fingertips.  This is also a unity of faith.

Every ability in Him, is the result of dominion or dominating power in the His body of glory revealed in us. The Person of Christ dwells in glory. Glory is  revealed by our faith.

A component of revealed glory is dominion power. Where there is glory, there is Christ’s dominion. Where there is absolute dominion, there is absolute ability to do. When we minister Christ, we minister to others, absolute dominion and ability over all things.

12 ¶  Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

Greek: Who has made us enough or fully qualified to fully receive the inheritance that God has for us.  We are already been qualified to own the full inheritance of what belongs to God. Our inheritance is in the Person of Christ and must be revealed by our faith. We discover our inheritance. This is also a unity of faith.
