What is the the difference in the Salvation message and the Identity in Christ’s Kingdom message?
Let’s just look at a graphic on this. Let’s look at the starting point with the traditional Salvation message.
It starts with you’re a sinner. With the Identity in Christ’s Kingdom message, you are made in God’s image and likeness – you’re loved!
The problem with the traditional Salvation message is sin separates us from God. In the Identity Kingdom message, it’s the revelation awareness of our identity in Christ.
The solution in the traditional Salvation message is that Jesus pays for your sin. In the Identity Kingdom message Jesus restores union and reveals your true identity.
The goal of the traditional Salvation message is go to heaven when you die. In the Identity and Kingdom message you live as in Heaven on earth now – so you have Glory now. Heaven has come. The triune God has come to live inside of you now.
The message of the traditional Salvation message is to escape punishments – escape hell. In the Identity in Christ and Kingdom message, embrace your identity and your inheritance in your relationship with the Father through Jesus Christ.
The response in the traditional Salvation message is confess and believe. In the Identity in Christ Kingdom message, it’s awaken to your identity and receive your Father’s love now.
And the main focus in the traditional Salvation message is justification after life – whereas in the Identity in Christ’s Kingdom message, it’s the transformation. It’s the incarnation of Christ in you and it’s the Glorification you have now.
God’s role in the traditional Salvation message – he’s a judge who forgives. In the Identity in Christ’s Kingdom message it is the Father who restores and indwells in Christ with the Holy Spirit living in you now.
Your role in the traditional Salvation message is you’re a guilty sinner who repents. Under the Identity in Christ’s Kingdom message, you’re a co-heir of all the treasures of Heaven and you’re an ambassador of the Kingdom of God now.
So the idea is that your identity is in Christ and Christ is in you.
Here is a scripture that just backs much of this up. Colossians 1:26 both in the AMPC and the NIV.
“The mystery of which has been hidden for ages and generations from angels and men but is now 2,000 years ago, is now revealed in His holy people, the Saints” – Colossians 1:26 (AMPC)
In the NIV, it says “To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of his mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.”
Amen and Amen
