It's a Slow Fade, right (as in the 2007 Casting Crowns song)?It diminishes of course, because he's no longer partaking of it.
- We are one with the Father and the Son (Jn 17:22),
- We are in Him and He is in us (Jn 17:23),
- We are joined to the Lord and are one Spirit with Him (1 Cor 6:17),
- We have eternal life because life is in Jesus and Jesus is in us (1 Jn 5:11–12),
- We shall not come into judgement because we have passed from death into life (Jn 5:24),
- With an unveiled face, we behold the glory of the Lord and are transformed into the same image (2 Co 3:18),
- We who have the firstfruits of the Spirit groan within ourselves, and eagerly await our adoption (Ro 8:23),
- We earnestly desire clothing from above and have the Spirit as a guarantee (2 Co 5:1–5),
- We have the mind of Christ (1 Co 2:16),
- We have come to know Him because He lives in our hearts (Jn 14:19-23),
- He will never leave us or forsake us (Heb 13:5), and
- We are partakers of the divine nature (2 Pet 1:4).
Maybe our dissagreement is not on the effect, but on the residency of Jesus in a person's heart.
And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” (Ga 4:6)
