Our identity is animated and filled with life by the presence of God(F,S,S) within us.

 

Jesus is the tangible incarnation of that presence in human form. Jesus is before all things, in all things, and holds all things together!

​

In Aramaic, "Jesus holds all things together" can be translated as "He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together." This phrase emphasizes Christ's preexistence and His role in sustaining and maintaining the universe. - Colossians 1:17 
 

 This emphasizes that Jesus is the foundational element of the universe, sustaining and maintaining everything that exists. The Aramaic text reflects the same theological concept as in the Greek version of Colossians 1:17, affirming that without Jesus, nothing would exist. 

Jesus is the Tree of Life, the Book of Life, and the living Word of God (Logos). We find our true identity (who we really are) as the F,S,S has created us to be wiht&in the revelation (incarnation) of Jesus. Our "new name" is found in the presence of Jesus as is the definer of who we are.

The first or old Adam is the identity we adopt as the fruit of our delusional identities that we pick up along the way, those which Jesus came to save us from. We, as the old Adam, are plunged into death with the new Adam (Jesus), not for the sake of dying but for the sake of living through being born from above, which in part is to finally see ourselves as the F,S,S sees us.

Our fake, imposter versions of ourselves, God knows not, and commands "to depart from Him," because He does not recognize (acknowledge) the false version we are presenting to the world, God, ourselves, and others. God's love (wrath) will not tolerate the false version of man's self. It will be refined out of us. All will be salted by the fire of God (the relationship of the F,S,S) - Matk 9:49​
