Right Hand of God

[Cntrysner]

I sit at the right hand of God in His kingdom in Christ, this Spiritual kingdom is literally not of this earth and above all creation.

[Cntrysner]

The question is do you?

[Cntrysner]

Eph 4:10  He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.

1Co_15:48  As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
1Co_15:49  And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
Eph_1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
Eph_1:20  Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
Eph_2:6  And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
Eph_3:10  To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,

Eph 1:21  Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

The far above all heavens is our eternal calling and it is not a call that is new earth or New Jerusalem that descends to earth or the firmament Heaven that will depart. The far above all heavens is where God is enthroned and it will never pass away. Our citizenship is with the Father in Christ not a city with gates guarded by angels for the twelve tribes of Israel to enter.  

 

Gen 1:8  And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.                                     

Rev_6:14  And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

Rev 21:1  And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

Rev 21:2  And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

That is what the scripture teaches. We are far above all principality and power (by faith) in Christ Jesus. Shalom

Ephesians 1:[19] And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to usward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
[20] Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
[21] Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

Colossians 3:[3] For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

[Christine]

'For ye are dead, 
and your life is hid with Christ in God.
When Christ, who is our life, shall appear
then shall ye also appear with Him in glory.'
(Colossians 3:3-4)   

Hello there,

By God's reckoning, as a member of the Church which is His Body, 'the fulness of Him that filleth all in all:  I have died with Christ, been buried, quickened, raised and seated with Christ at God's right hand, I have died and my life is hid with Christ in God, and when He appears in glory then I too will appear with Him there.

Thank you, 
In Christ Jesus
our risen and glorified
Saviour, Lord and Head.
Chris

Point of clarification: That kingdom is not only spiritual, and while it is not of the earth, it permeates all of creation including the earth, and as such anyone not mindful of the kingdom's application here and now isn't actually sitting at the right hand. 

 

Those that are mindful of earthly citizenship positions and blessings are not sitting in Christ at the Fathers right hand.

The "right hand" is not strictly about geography. It is not limited to a physical point in time or space. It includes a position of power and authority that covers all domains fo rhte sovereign being represented by the right hand. In this particular case the sovereignly sovereign Sovereign is GOD. 

Of course God is sovereign and enthroned far above all and His enthronement is a location that is not of this earth.  Christ ascended and is literally seated at the Father's right hand. 

Far above all heavens (Eph 4:10) is distinctly not the earth. 

[missmuffet]

Ephesians 1:19-21 Here we see God exalting Jesus above all others by seating Him at the right hand of the Father.

Therefore, what we can say is that "God’s right hand" refers to the Messiah, the LORD Jesus Christ, and He is of equal position, honor, power, and authority with God (John 1:1-5). The fact that Christ is "sitting" refers to the fact that His work of redemption is done and when the fullness of the Gentiles is brought in (Romans 11:25), Christ’s enemies will be made His footstool. When the end of the age comes, all prophecy will be completed, and time will be no more.

Hi Cntrysner,

It so does my heart good to hear some one else bringing forth the full purposes of God in Christ Jesus. Especially giving the Lord the pre-eminence `far above all,` in this age and the one to come.

May I ask where you learnt this great truth?

 I would say that it was given to me when Christ made me a new creature. I understood that all my sins were removed, scripture revealed I was circumcised from my flesh and placed into His body and would never be separated from Him. I go where He goes therefore I ascended with Him.

Hi C,

That`s great. However many believers think they `descend` to the earth and that Jesus will rule `far below all.`
