In Christ, we have been raised with him and are called to live this new life together – not only with God, but also in our relationships with spouses, children, parents, and fellow believers. Originally, God created humanity to serve as a channel of his love on earth and to pass this love on to all of creation. Through self-deception, this connection was lost. God created the solution in Jesus Christ, the second Adam. Through his death, the old life died. Through his resurrec

In Christ, we have already been raised with him and are living a new life – not just in the future, but here and now, through faith. “If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. (...) For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God” (Colossians 3:1–4). Originally, God created humanity to act as a channel of His love on earth and to pass this love on to all of creation. Through self-d

In Christ, we are already complete – not at some point in the future, not through our own works, but here and now, through faith. The reconciliation that took place in him makes us complete: “You are complete in him” (Colossians 2:10). This is the full reality of the Gospel. Self-deception destroyed our original unity with God. The truth “I am a creature of God” was replaced by the lie “I am God.” Since then, we have been unconsciously bound to people instead of to God – auto

Reconciliation takes place in Christ himself. In him, God unites heaven and earth – far more than mere forgiveness or restitution. Originally, humanity lived in perfect unity with God. Their identity was clear: “I am a creature of God.” Through this truth in their hearts, they were automatically and unconsciously bound to God by trust and faith – an immutable spiritual law. As long as this bond existed, he could not help but live in perfect harmony with God and in the awarene

Who is Christ before his incarnation? Colossians 1:16–17 and John 1:1–3 provide the clear answer: He is the Creator of all things. All things were created through him and for him. The one who creates is the cause – and thus God. Christ is not a creature, but the eternal Creator himself. He and the Father are one. To redeem us, Christ added full humanity to His full divinity. Thus He became the Redeemer and Firstborn of all creation (Colossians 1:12–15). Fundamental principles

The connection between heaven and earth takes place in human beings – in their identity. That is why only a human being could restore it after self-deception: Jesus Christ. The central question is always: Who am I?  Because identity determines origin and belonging. We all come from one life – from Adam. Through the Fall, we are “born dead”: in the wrong identity, unable to come into God's presence. According to the law of inheritance, we inherit this dead nature – and with i

Jesus Christ, the second Adam, overcomes man's self-deception, crucifies him, and creates a new life. In this way, access to the original source of love (God) becomes possible again for everyone. Man is spiritually bound by trust and faith – an automatism without tolerance. After the Fall, however, this trust is no longer directed toward God, but toward people – also an uninterrupted automatic process. Trust occurs on two levels: in the heart (subconscious) → determines ident

We need a change in our inner, subconscious identity. This happens through the mind of Jesus (Philippians 2:5-8) and the struggle of faith (Philippians 2:12-13). Many Christians confuse faith with works and ask what needs to be changed in faith. But if you don't know the person and their problem, for most people the gospel is just information that doesn't help them in their lives. Let's take a look: What is salvation? Is it about getting to heaven? For most people, salvation

Human beings mistakenly believe that they are God and trust in human words instead of God's word. Thus, they live on the wrong fuel – egoism. However, since they are made for love, they are ultimately doomed to death. The solution is to recognize the error within themselves and reconnect with God. Since this is unconscious, it must be revealed, which usually happens through suffering: suffering shows the error, enduring suffering reveals its non-existence. As a child of God,

Through an inexplicable self-deception, man thinks he is the source himself. In doing so, he separates himself from the true source of love and life – God – and this separation brings death to him and all other living beings. Death is the enemy of life and would have destroyed everything if God had not intervened and begotten a new man in Mary – Jesus Christ. Through him, the separation between God and man is dissolved and life is possible again. The connection to God lies in

The connection between heaven and earth lies in the subconscious/identity of human beings. Through self-deception, we live bound to people instead of God. Paul explains in his letters to the Philippians and Colossians that we experience suffering so that the error in our hearts becomes visible – as well as its removal. Suffering reveals the error, and endurance shows that it has been overcome. Without suffering, we cannot recognize error and thus cannot replace it with truth.

This study is based on the letters to the Philippians and Colossians. Heaven and earth are united through Jesus Christ. Man, created as the crowning glory of creation, separated himself from God through self-deception, causing the life force of the earth – love – to fade. And since everything on earth depends on him, everything is ultimately doomed to death. God begot Jesus through Mary, who removed this separation. Through him, the new, immortal source of life is available a

Joshua gathers the people in Shechem and reminds them of Abraham's calling and God's work of salvation. Faith works in the spirit, but it needs a standard to guide it. If the standard is right, faith is right. If it is wrong, so is faith. God promised Abraham a son. Sarah was old, and humanly speaking, it seemed impossible. Out of unbelief, Abraham took the servant as his wife and fathered Ishmael. Jacob also did not trust in God, but in his mother. False faith relies on what

When faith is based on a firm standard, it is genuine, effective, and life-changing. If it is based on a foundation that is not firm and absolute, it tends toward presumption and then fails to be successful in everyday life.   If you are in the truth about yourself, “I am a creature,” you automatically trust God, and if you are in the lie, “I am God,” you automatically trust people – and you always believe the one you trust. In addition to unconscious trust and faith, there i

By changing the identity in our hearts, we automatically trust and believe in people instead of God. The false identity “I am God” makes our lives difficult. Our salvation lies in training our minds to trust in God in order to understand and believe His Word correctly. It is about conscious faith against the error of the heart. This reflection is about the end of the division of the land. The land of Canaan is a picture of the new earth. But before we reach our homeland, we m

When we are angry, sad, or discouraged, our inner compass tells us that what our heart is telling us is not true. Joshua and Caleb trusted God, surrendered their egos, and worked with Him, enabling them to stand firm among the unbelievers.   Joshua was chosen by God to lead the people of Israel to Canaan (Joshua 1:9). But according to Hebrews 4:8, he did not reach rest through the external land. Rest is an inner experience, deliverance from the error of the heart. God repeate

From birth, our hearts carry a false identity, automatically trusting the wrong person and having to believe their words. We must implement salvation in our minds: our conscience needs an objective standard in order to develop trust in God and understand His word correctly. We must examine whether thoughts come from lies or truth. We let go of the lies and the Holy Spirit fills the void. This creates a connection to God and faith in Him. The whole thing is a process. The jour

Since we have the wrong identity in our hearts from the moment of conception, we automatically trust the wrong person and have to believe their words. Every illness is the result of trusting in people. Our salvation lies in establishing a conscious standard in our minds to focus our trust on God and to understand and believe His Word correctly. We can give up the lie “I am God” and consciously trust in God.   We look at the twelve spies from Numbers 13:13-32. Ten spoke of ove

When we have the truth in our hearts – the correct identity, “I am a creature” – we automatically trust God and His Word. When we have the lie in our hearts, “I am God,” we automatically trust ourselves and other people – and believe their words. God created salvation, which must take place in the mind. There, the conscience can be based on a conscious standard. We can trust this because it is objective and unchangeable. And so we ultimately place our trust in God. The inner

Since we have had the wrong identity in our hearts (subconscious) from the moment of conception, the enemy is ultimately within us. With the wrong identity, we automatically trust the wrong person and believe their words. Salvation begins in the conscious mind, where we base our trust on a conscious standard, place it firmly in God, and thereby understand His Word correctly.   We must recognize that our subconscious deceives us and that this enemy must be crucified so that w
