Q: The blessings in his Son give us the volume. It begs the question,"For who maketh thee to differ from another?". In the many churches it would seen that Satan made the everlasting covenant in the opening chapter of Genesis as the most misunderstood portion of the Bible. Am I not correct?
A: Yes indeed. You quoted St Paul and he says it as a figure, 'figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes', and it speaks with regards to the ministry. St Paul according to the flesh could freely move about in the empire while others had not the advantage. It is not what we are considering. Spiritual blessings hold true under all circumstances. Firstly the Pauline quote:" For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?" (1 Co.4:6-7)
In order to consider the spiritual blessings God made his will known to man."And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them." Whether the body or the temple made with hands, God desires fellowship according to the heavenly pattern. This Fellowship of God with Man is what we need focus upon. God blessed man on the day six (Ge.1:28) is the template of the covenant into which whosoever believes is admitted in the Man component. So when he speaks Jesus Christ the firstborn from the dead he is thus established in the world of the believer. His volume is sanctified by the Son."For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,"(He.2:11). Our faith is that we bring into this equation where the Son presents us as signs and wonders so how we transform us to be the city set upon the hill is between God and Man. Our faith creates virtues as patience, trust and obedience so our battles are really fought elsewhere. Satan sure knows where to beguile man who is not fully committed.
