I mentioned previously that I would search for the key to life abounding in the life of Christ. Paul tells us how this works in Romans 6-8. Specifically, when Jesus died we died, when He was buried we were buried, when He was resurrected to a new life so were we. By faith, we reckon it so. Count it done. Credit it to our account. So how does this work? Resurrection leads to life abounding As believers raised from the…
In Life on the Highest Plane, Pt.6 Ruth Paxson shares what more we can do, as well as, the works, relationship, and hope of the spiritual person. Bible study is essential for life on the highest plane Bible study plays an integral part in this spiritual life providing a revelation of God’s character, how we are to live, and comfort for times of trials.

What it does mean is that we are no longer our own, we have been bought with a price. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, “Or do you not…
In Life on the Highest Plane Pt. 3, Ruth Paxson explains who new believers are a new order of people. Born from above. See Life on the Highest Plane Pt.2 in a previous post. When Jesus cried out, “It is finished” what did that mean? That which was lost to the control of Satan in the Garden of Eden was possible to regain through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. From then on humans would be in two classes…
In Life on the Highest Plane Pt.1, we left humans in a sinful state cut off from their creator by a deep chasm. In Pt.2, we will find the solution for reconciliation in Jesus Christ as He bridged that chasm. Chasm Adam’s sin revealed his rebellious heart. He had sinned and destroyed the connection to God. It was God, because of His love for His created people, who came up with a solution to bridge the chasm between the two….
Life on the highest plane I have been reading Life on the Highest Plane by Ruth Paxson for a few months a few pages each day. It is so rich I thought I’d share it with you over the next few weeks.
