LEGAL REDEMPTION (LR)
OUTLINE FOR AUDIO LINK
Who we are in Christ, who we are in heaven (Legal redemption).
Who Christ is in us, as we walk with God where we appropriate or partake of the divine nature progressively (Vital redemption).
LR stands for Legal Redemption and VR for Vital Redemption, in this series of teachings.
We must “be established” in our legal identity, to appropriate our vital redemption effectively. Otherwise, we will have a sin-consciousness, which will block the flow of God’s Spirit through our lives.
God sees nothing wrong with us, only what is missing of himself in us, and that is what he wants to impart to us. This is why he orders our steps, we experience trials, circumstances, people in our lives. It is like we are put in a corner, where we must have more of God in our lives. This is what all his dealings with us are about in our life here on earth.

Romans 8:29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined (LR) to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called (LR); whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified (LR).
