Virginity: a. the quality or condition of being a virgin.
b. the state of being pure, unsullied, or untouched.
What exactly do we mean by the Virginity of Christ?
Is not the process of a sexually active person attempting to regain ‘virgin status’ by abstaining from sexual relations, esp. during the time just before marriage; also called secondary virginity, revirgination; this is not what we mean by the impartation of the Virginity of Christ to the believer.
Nor do we mean what some call ‘second virginity’, a term some times used by chastity and sexual abstinence advocates to refer to a state of having pledged to refrain from sexual intercourse (or all sexual activity) in the future despite having been sexually active in the past. Secondary virginity may be adopted by unmarried converts to a religion that condemns premarital sex.
Even though it is an agreeable principle, this is not what we mean by the impartation of the Virginity of Christ into the believer.
Nor do we mean to advocate the concept of celibacy that certain groups promote as a form of sheer imitation to Christ that most of the time lacks the very life of Christ for its attainment. It is sheer human devotion:
Colossians 2:8, 18-23
“See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ.
Let no one keep defrauding you of your prize by delighting in self-abasement and the worship of the angels, taking his stand on visions he has seen, inflated without cause by his fleshly mind, and not holding fast to the head, from whom the entire body, being supplied and held together by the joints and ligaments, grows with a growth which is from God.
If you have died with Christ to the elementary principles of the world, why, as if you were living in the world, do you submit yourself to decrees, such as, "Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!" (which all refer to things destined to perish with use)--in accordance with the commandments and teachings of men? These are matters which have, to be sure, the appearance of wisdom in self-made religion and self-abasement and severe treatment of the body, but are of no value against fleshly indulgence.”
The Virginity of Christ is His own ability to live a sexual life that is perfectly pleasing to God, single or married. Is the impartation into us of His own glorified sexuality, His sexual self-image, His sexual consciousness and His sexual identity, His sexual life; the impartation of His divine nature and resurrection life. So much so that in spite of any promiscuous past, the present evil age, the power of the carnal nature, the demons of sexual pervasion and the spiritual strongholds of ‘Jezebel’ and of ‘the Great whore’ revealed in the Book of Revelation that are at work in the world today; that in spite of sexual and emotional traumas and of any other created order, visible or invisible, WE CAN LIVE PERFCTLY HOLY LIVES SEXUALLY, IN ACCORDANCE TO GOD’S PERFECT PROVISION THRUOGH THE SACRIFECE OF JESUS ON THE CROSS; THE FULL PROVISION OF GOD’S OWN ESTIMATION AND EFFECTIVE APPLICATION OF THE VALUE AND INHERENT POWER OF THE BLOOD OF CHRIST IN US.
The anointing of the Virginity of Christ sets us free to experience the whole sexual phenomena free from this world’s influence, free from our own sinful sexual past, free from demonic powers, free from a defective moral conscience, free from generational curses, free from evil soul ties, free from a polluted mind and free from emotional wounds to operate in the full consciousness of Christ’s sexuality.
Ephesians 4:13-16
13 This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ.
14 Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won’t be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth. 15 Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church. 16 He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love.
The virginity we are calling upon is the ability to exercise ourselves sexually in marriage without any influence from the past, nor from the world, nor from our own sinful nature nor in any other way that is contrary to God’s own perfect will and ultimate purpose for us.
A more exact definition:
The correct knowledge and clear understanding of the facts and truths about the Substitutional Sacrificial Death of God in human form, and our complete identification and assimilation of its implications as our ultimate reality, will qualify us to receive the impartation of the resurrection life of Christ at the depth and level the iniquity of our sexual sins require for the full imputation of the Virginity of Christ to the believer in His every day life.
A more simple definition:
Delving into the ‘wounds of Christ’ until we attain the virginity of His resurrected sexual life.
The proper faith in our position in Christ (as virgins) to benefit from His sacrifice out of our condition.
Since must of us Christians believe that God can raise the dead, that there is nothing impossible for God, will anyone consider it impossible for God to reverse the deformity that sexual sin causes in humans? Is their an antidote, any weapon or tool to cause God’s life to manifest in us?
The Glorified life of Christ, His very life in us!
