He discusses the covenant connection with truly becoming God’s children, or children of Christ. He talks about how God’s love is manifest in covenant, in sending Christ to fulfill the covenant, and in changing us when we have made and kept covenant, and in the power of that change. That change really results in new beings, begotten by Christ. He touches on how this is tied up into thinking Celestial, becoming godly, and the glory that awaits us.We are grateful for our sponsor, Lisa Spice, and for our editor, BJ Muhlestein, and for Rich Nicholls, who composed and plays the music for the podcast.
