homoousion is the perfection of relational interaction in
loving interpersonal relationships.
The entirety of who we are and what we do as
Christians is derived from and contingent upon our spiritual
union with the Spirit of Christ. This is not based upon an
instrumental or causal connection with Christ whereby
some “thing” other than Christ is extended to us, but is a
personal and relational union whereby Christ Himself
becomes the essence of all divine and spiritual realities in
us.
“Christ is our life,” explains the apostle Paul, for “our
life is hidden with Christ in God” (Col. 3:3,4). Spiritual life
is conveyed not by heritage or performance (John 1:13) or
purchase, but through the figurative analogy of “new birth,”
being “born from above” (John 3:1-6) or “born of God”
(John 1:13). The life that we receive in Christ is not
separated apart from Jesus, nor is it a part of Jesus that can
be partitively appropriated. Jesus is the spiritual life that we
receive and participate in. “God has given us eternal life,
and this life is in His Son” (I John 5:11). “I am...the life”
(John 14:6), Jesus said, and “I came that you might have
life” (John 10:10).
