Working TOWARD our new creation identity (like Jesus did) is not the same as living FROM our new creation identity of what He did, we’re already complete in Him. The knowledge/belief of who we already are in Him is what causes our transformation to manifest. Otherwise we’re back into a works mentality again. I hope I said that accurately?
“For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God” (2 Cor. 5:21). God makes Christ sin in the same manner that we become the righteousness of God, namely, through imputation. 2Cor 5:21 reads a lot different than the statement following! ..”same manner”?!? NO! There is a word missing which makes all the difference! (MIGHT) (might become is a conditional!) While Christ took our sins in his body and reconciled us to God freeing us also from the power of sin through redemption (Ro7:4), he gave us the right to become children of God (Jn 1:12) So, what is the condition?! Mat 16:24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. Mat 16:25 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. (ESV)

I wonder if Beale would say that union with resurrected Christ = union with ascended Christ?
He certainly would! We couldn't cover everything in this book, and this is certainly within his thought/writing.
@@guiltgracepod this matches nicely with Bates, Barclay, and Gorman.
Very much so.
Then it would be union with the exalted Christ.
@@Tanjaicholan but surely the same thing?

Yessir!
Imputation is not what the bible sais. We are to be dicipols more like apprentices. it is not a legal procedure but a transformation
