Transfusion
Looking away unto Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith,… (Hebrews 12:2)
… the Author of life… (Acts 3:15)
… the Author of their salvation (Hebrews 2:10)
Faith does NOT come from us. Jesus is the Author of faith. It is He who transfuses faith into us and we respond by receiving Him and believing into Him (John 1:12). As a result, we are regenerated with God’s life.
Infusion“But the righteous shall have life and live by faith.” (Romans 1:17)
Regeneration is just a beginning. We need to continue to live by faith. The faith in us needs to grow and be perfected. Jesus is the Perfecter (Hebrews 12:2), who continues to infuse us with His elements and essence.
Receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls. (1 Peter 1:9)
Not only we are regenerated in our spirit, we need to cooperate with the Spirit’s transforming work within us. Through our cooperation, God’s life will spread from our spirit to every parts of our soul – mind, emotion, and will. This is the infusion of faith.
Suffusion = Saturation = Permeation
Even now Christ shall be magnified in my body… (Philippians 1:20)
For to me, to live is Christ … (Philippians 1:21)
At the end of the process, our whole being will be saturated with Christ. We will fully express Him. When people see us, they see God. When people touch us, they touch God. Even we shall put on incorruption and immortality (1 Corinthians 15:53).
Thank the Lord for including us in such a glorious process. Amen!
