1 Corinthians 1:9
That verse as simple as it sounds, is one of the most significant verse of all scripture. 
In that verse is the summary of all of God's purpose. This verse defines what we have that is called Christianity. 

When you use the term Christianity, it sound like one of the religions of the world 

Authentic Christianity has to be defined through the word. 
God is faithful: He can be trusted. 
God called you to become associates , partakers, sharers with his son
 He called you into union, friendship, oneness with his son.

Who is this Son?
If you were told by a King that you and his Son /heir are now partners. And that everything that belongs to his son now belongs to you... You would like to know who that son is and what that son has.

I am now a friend of Jesus Christ. 
I am a partner with Jesus Christ. 

1 John 1:3
we have a fellowship with the Father and his son, Jesus Christ. 
The term "fellowship" doesn't just refer to "a gathering" . The word is stronger than that. 

2 Peter 1:3-4
Everything you require to live a wonderful, successful and glorious life, he has given you. You discover this through the knowledge of God. Knowing him helps you discover all he has given you in Christ. 
Your calling is for glory and excellence. This should be your life everyday; Glory and excellence independent of circumstances. 
By these preciois promises, we are made partakers of the divine nature+ associated of the godkind. He made is comrades of the god kind. 
God brought you into a class with his son and made you comrade. You are no longer functioning among mankind. You are functioning with the godkind.
You can't find this information in any science textbook but in the word of God. 

Real Christianity is acting and doing the word of God. You see it and you become it. 
My field of play has changed. I play with a different set of rules. 
You think and see differently. 
You are living in two worlds at the same time.
You are working with different principles. 
I live the life of glory. I choose the life of glory
 
Many are acquainted with the legal side of this fellowship but the vital sideeans very little to them. 

Romans 4:23-25
Jesus was delivered to death in our place. 
Romans 5:19
Adams sin became our corporate sin so every human was condemned. 

Jesus was delivered to die the death of Everyman and by his resurrection, we were all resurrected. He got us justification
 He came with a new life like a seed does before it sprouts. Jesus was the first to be born again. 

The legal fellowship is just one side of story. The vital part Is your everyday life. 
Jesus is eternal life. 

John 1:18 AMPC
When you saw Jesus, you saw God. 
Jesus is the only begotten God. 

John 12:34, Matt 24:15, Daniel 7:14
Son of Man meant The Christ. That was another title for Son of God. 

1 John 5:20 AMPC
This 'Man' is the True God and Life Eternal.
When you receive Him into your life, you receive eternal life. That is the indestructible, immutable eternal life. As He is, so are we in this world.
He gave us a Kingdom. Hebrews 12:28 (CJB).
The Greek of 'We receiving a Kingdom' is emphatic. It tells us that we have received a Kingdom. He already gave us. If we are not in the kingdom yet, we have no gospel. If we are in the kingdom, us ethe powers of the kingdom to live your everyday life.
Refuse to fear. Don't let sickness ravage your body.
They used fear to deceive the world in 2020.
The devil doesn't like us talking like this. We are indestructible. We received eternal life when we received Christ. Christ is you, the hope of Glory. How can we have eternal life and live like people that don't?
Anyone who believes in Jesus should not perish! We are separated from people who should perish. There is a decree upon our lives. This is why we declare the truth everywhere.
We are living to His glory.
I'm going to live the life of Christ and in the love of Christ the best it can be lived on this earth. 
We are members of His body. I know who I am. Eph 5:30
