Speaker: Zac Poonen Title: 14. Body-Life And Not Individual Life Series: The Glory Of The New Covenant Date: 03-24-2019 Our Goal as Christians is this: To be an exact reflection of Jesus, the Son of God (Romans 8:29) We do this individually by growing in purity in our personal lives (1 John 3:2-3) We do this corporately by becoming fully functioning members of a local Church (Ephesians 4:11-16)

Summary

The speaker contrasts the individualistic fellowship of the Old Covenant with the corporate life of the New Covenant, emphasizing that true Christian fellowship requires more than just good relationships or psychology. He stresses that both individuals must accept the cleansing of Christ's blood for sin and crucify their old, sinful nature. This shared acceptance of the cross is what breaks down the inherent enmity in the flesh, allowing for genuine, barrier-free fellowship.

The Old Covenant as an individual lifeFigures like Moses and Elijah walked with God as lonely individuals without needing fellowship with others.

Selfishness in the disciples before the crossEven Jesus' disciples struggled with self-centeredness and ambition until the old man was crucified with Christ.

Needing revelation of the crucifixion of the old manJust as believers accept the blood of Christ for forgiveness of sins, they need revelation that their old nature was crucified with Christ to gain victory.

The enmity in the flesh and the dividing wallAn inherent enmity exists in human flesh that builds walls between people, including husbands and wives, which Jesus abolished on the cross.

Jesus sending disciples out two by twoUnlike Old Covenant prophets sent alone, Jesus initiated New Covenant fellowship right from the beginning by sending disciples out two by two.

Practical unity through taking up the cross dailyInward unity in the church must be practical and is accomplished by putting the flesh to death daily, just as believers continually need the cleansing blood of Christ.

Examining oneself during the breaking of breadFirst Corinthians 11 teaches that when conflict arises in fellowship or during the breaking of bread, a person must examine and judge themselves rather than the other person.

The power of two or three gathered by the Holy SpiritWhen two or three believers who have crucified the flesh gather together, the Lord is in their midst, granting them power to ask according to His will and bind satanic activity.

Functioning without division in the body of ChristGod designed the body so that there is no division, giving more abundant honor to members that lack gifts, just like a human body cares for its weaker parts.
