Not having these distinctions forces one to live in a constant tension between law and grace. It was later that the Brethren came to understand the difference between flesh and spirit and the new creation: The new creation is only hidden in Christ and is not something that changes in ourselves The new creature is the rule of the Christian Life, not the law. The new creation comes out from God and is hidden in Christ, only known as a refreshing by being renewed in the spirit through the knowledge of Christ. The brethren were able to distinguish the difference between the heavenly position, nature, and destiny of the Church and the other groups that God still interacts with. This provided a clearer understanding of the law and gospel, particularly with regards to the celebratory nature of the Bema judgment for the Church versus the judgment of the sheep and goat nations, as well as the Great White Throne judgment. This involved an understanding of the covenants of promise which are features of the EVerlasting Covenant and the covenant of Law (the mosaic, or "old covenant") and the New Covenant which is for the nation Israel. Understanding the difference between Israel's old and new covenants, and recognizing the distinction between these covenants and the Everlasting covenant, is a vital factor in acquiring a comprehensive understanding of the Christian life under grace without the influence of the law. This impacts our view of justification, sanctification and reward. The Everlasting Covenant between the Father and the Son designates the Son as the Shepherd of the Sheep and, as a Representative Man, the heir of all promises as the Seed of Abraham, the Seed of David, and the recipient of all promises. The enmity between Jew and God and man and God was abolished and the veil was separated between Gentiles and Jews and the Jews from God. The significance of understanding the New Creation, Mystery of Christ, difference between flesh and spirit, and the difference between the destiny of Israel and the nations and the heavenly position of the Church The importance of recognizing the unique group known as the Body of Christ, made one with God and co-heirs with Christ The position, name, rights, and privileges given to members of the Body of Christ who are raised up and seated in heavenly places in Christ. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpqK1R097ZU

How to know you have eternal life: 1Jn 5:9  If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.  1Jn 5:10  He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.  1Jn 5:11  And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.  1Jn 5:12  He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.  If led to support you can visit my site: http://christiansneedthegospel.com/ The book, "Colossians: How God Makes Christ Everything to us" Is available for donation at the website: www.chrsitiansneedthegospel.com/shop I also have a book called "Hebrews, Shepherded into Rest" that is available on the site. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XceuVCFzKq0
