Q:"How valid is the assertion that Jesus Christ epitomises God and the Law of the Spirit in the everlasting covenant? Can you give a coherent example?"
A:
God created Man "in our image and after our Likeness" Whosoever may enter into this Fellowship of God with his Son has to meet both requirements. Man with his tripartite nature possess body, spirit and soul. It only refers to 'in our image'. After our likeness applies to the Word or the Law which was with God and was God. God a Spirit where the Father Son relation places Jesus Christ as the soul component so when God sent him as the Word made flesh. So John refers the Son of man as "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory)" and "And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace."((1:14-16) Jesus Christ is the face of the Law of the Spirit, in bodily form. In being conformed to the image of his Son set Christ as the Head of the body. So after his likeness explains our groying from glory to glory. (2 Co.3:18)
The Psalm 139 delineated by David sets this aspect of soul and David himself is set "a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do."(Ac.13:22)
A few examples we shall consider:"Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me." (139:3) The sovereignty of soul is with God. 'Behind and before' refer to the worlds unseen and made to appear. Laid thine upon me' is David's confession that he is blessed in the covenant.(Ge.1:28) " Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?/If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there./If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;/Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me." Here we see David identifying with death and resurrection of his Son. So his soul is after his likeness,- and as God says, "he will do everything I want him to do."
