The New Man is a person blessed beyond measure. Most have not comprehended the desire of the Lord to manifest Himself in His people in a great abundance of His power. His exceedingly great and mighty power is aimed directly toward those who love Him. It is His desire to reveal to each of His own, the fullness, the magnitude of His power. Eph. 1:18 Who or how can we measure the ultimate of His Divine power, when it is without measure. The beauty of all this is that He will make those who are His to be recipients, vessels filled with that very same might and power through the anointing of the Spirit.
A fuller knowledge of Him and a continual seeking after increasing our acquaintanceship with Christ will bring a greater evidence of His power within us. A constant growth and increase of the knowledge of the Lord Jesus is an absolute necessity. The more fully we know Him the greater the manifestation of His Divine power in our lives. The supreme goal which He has established for those who love Him is to grant them the privilege of partaking of the Divine nature. 2 Pet. 1:2-3 That completely staggers the imagination.
Receiving the Lord Jesus is like no other experience in life. The declaration of the scriptures is that those who believe on Him become Sons of God, for in the new birth, they are born of the seed of the Lord. John 1:12-13 That is no light frivolous matter. It cannot be treated in a light hearted frivolous manner. The new birth is but an introduction, the very beginning of a life in which the Lord wants to reveal Himself, in His fullness. It is the beginning of a destiny which will ultimately produce a person bearing the precise image and likeness of the Most High. Col. 3:10 In the process of growth and leading to maturity we find that we are to be partakers of His holiness. So, once again, there is the necessity of spiritual growth and participation in those things which the Lord has so abundantly prepared for us. Heb. 12:10.
