Such is the birthright of the last Adam, the one from above, and all the privileges, the blessings, and the joys of this birthright are ours when we are born from above. “Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born from above.” “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born from above, he can not see the kingdom of God.” (With the argument of this paragraph, please study 1 Cor. 15:45-48; John 3:3-8; 1 Cor. 3:11-16; Rom. 8:5- 10). “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature” (2 Cor. 5:17). As a new creature he lives a new life, a life of faith. “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.” But it is a faith that works; for without works faith is dead. In Christ nothing avails but a new creature; he lives by faith; it is a faith that works, and the work is the keeping of the commandments of God. Thus saith the Scripture: -- 1. “In Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails 14
anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature” (Gal. 6:15). 2. “In Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith which works by love” (Gal. 5:6). 3. “Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God” (1 Cor. 7:19). Again: it is “faith which works by love,” that avails; and “this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments” (1 John 5:3). And “love is the fulfilling of the law” (Rom. 13:10). Therefore, in Christ Jesus the faith that avails is the faith that keeps the commandments of God, the faith that fulfills the law of God. Once more: “We are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them” (Eph. 2:10). “Created in Christ Jesus,” is to be made a “new creature” in Christ Jesus. But we are 15
