And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you (Luke 24:36).
The life of the new creation in Christ Jesus is transcendent. The Bible tells us how, after the resurrection, the disciples were together in a room, and though the doors were shut, the Lord Jesus suddenly came in and stood amongst them.
Hebrews 11:1 describes faith as the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen. It’s the evidence, proof or title deed of unseen realities. A footprint on the ground for instance is proof that someone must have recently passed by. The footprint isn’t the person; it’s merely an evidence or proof. When you eventually see the person, you’ll no longer be dealing with evidence but the real thing.
Faith was what you required to be born again and to receive the life of God into your spirit. Having been born again, the real thing has come; eternal life has now been imparted to your spirit. The life in you now isn’t something you’re trying to get or that you’re "having faith" for; it’s a vital reality now.
You might then want to ask, "So, where’s the place of faith in the life of the new creation?" Recall what the Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:7: "For we walk by faith, not by sight." For us to walk in the reality of the unseen realm, beyond the ordinary plane, has to be by faith. Nevertheless, the life of God in us now is a present day reality. Be conscious of this, and not only will it become more real to you, you’ll live every day without limits.
Confession
I have the life of God in me. I live beyond the limits! Eternal life is working in every fibre of my being; and I’m full of the Holy Ghost! I’m fully inundated by the power of the Spirit to live beyond obstacles and barriers today!
