Ultimate Intimacy
3
I have been crucified with Christ and I no
longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I
live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of
God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Galatians 220 (NIV)
4
This is the truth of the Gospel. It is also
the principal article of all Christian doctrine,
wherein the knowledge of all godliness
consisteth. Most necessary it is, therefore,
that we should know this article well, teach it
unto others, and beat it into our heads
continually! Martin Luther
5
And you also were included in Christ when you
heard the word of truth, the gospel of your
salvation. Having believed, you were marked in
him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit.
Ephesians 113 (NIV)
6
The glory that you have given me I have given
them, so that they may be one, as we are one, I
in them and you in me, that they may become
completely one, so that the world may know that
you have sent me and have loved them even as you
have loved me. John 1722-23 (NRSV)
7
We know that our old self was crucified with
him so that the body of sin might be destroyed,
and we might no longer be enslaved to sin.
Romans 66 (NRSV)
8
Set your minds on things above, not on earthly
things. For you died, and your life is now
hidden with Christ in God. Colossians 32-3
(NIV)
9
So you also must consider yourselves dead to
sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. Romans
611 (NRSV)
10
I want to know Christ and the power of his
resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his
sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and
so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from
the dead. Philippians 310-11 (NIV)
11
For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all
shall be made alive. 1 Corinthians 1522
(NASB)
12
So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new
creation everything old has passed away see,
everything has become new! 2 Corinthians 517
(NRSV)
13
I am sending to you Timothy, my son whom I
love, who is faithful in the Lord. He will remind
you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which
agrees with what I teach everywhere in every
church. 1 Corinthians 417 (NIV)
14
For as in one body we have many members, and
not all the members have the same function, so
we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and
individually we are members one of another.
Romans 124-5 (NRSV)
15
There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor
free, male nor female, for you are all one in
Christ Jesus. Galatians 328 (NIV)
16
You surely know that your body is a temple
where the Holy Spirit lives. The Spirit is in
you and is a gift from God. You are no longer
your own. God paid a great price for you. So
use your body to honour God. 1 Corinthians
619-20 (CEV)
17
Listen! I am standing at the door, knocking if
you hear my voice and open the door, I will come
in to you and eat with you, and you with me.
Revelation 320 (NRSV)  
18
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor
uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that
counts is faith expressing itself through
love. Galatians 56 (NIV)
19
Greet one another with a kiss of love. Peace to
all of you who are in Christ. 1 Peter 514
(NIV / NRSV)
