Rethinking God With Tacosਨਮੂਨਾ

Day 3: Wholeness Revealed in Christ:

Today we’re talking about wholeness—not as a finish line we fight for, but as our starting place in Christ.

Many of us have built our theology on Genesis 3—Adam hiding, ashamed, convinced he’s been abandoned. But what if we’ve been starting in the wrong place? What if wholeness begins with Genesis 1, not Genesis 3?

“Then God said, ‘Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness.’. . . So God created mankind in his own image” (Genesis 1:26–27, NIV).

You were created in the image of a relational God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—whose nature is union. That’s our origin. That’s our design.

You were not made in shame. You were made in love.

And “God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.” (Genesis 1:31, NIV)

Jesus doesn’t come to fix us like we’re some cosmic mistake. He comes to reveal what has always been true: that we are already included in the love of the Trinity. That we already belong. “The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us” (John 1:14, NIV).

In Colossians 1:19–20 (NIV), Paul writes: “For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things... by making peace through His blood.” This is what the cross accomplished: not a transaction to make God less angry, but a revelation of union. A restoring of our vision, not of God’s affection.

Wholeness isn’t about striving for spiritual perfection or scrubbing out your flaws. It’s about discovering that nothing is missing. Jesus, as the fullness of God, shows us what it means to be fully human—body, soul, and spirit in harmony with divine love.

We often reduce salvation to sin management, but Jesus invites us into so much more. Wholeness is about returning to our true selves. It’s healing that touches every part of us—our past, our pain, our perceptions—and brings us back into alignment with the joy and peace of the Trinity.

In Genesis 3, God asked Adam, “Where are you?” (Genesis 3:9, NIV). Not because God lost him, but because Adam was lost. Instead of condemnation, God initiates connection. He found us in Christ before we were ever lost in Adam. That’s always been His way.

What if your wholeness isn’t earned through effort, but unveiled through intimacy? What if healing doesn’t begin with fixing what's broken, but with remembering what’s always been true—that you are made in the image of Love?

“If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” (2 Corinthians 5:17, NIV)

This is the invitation: not just to be saved, but to awaken to your “In-Christness” and to be whole. Not just to be forgiven, but to be known. Not just to make it to heaven someday, but to live fully alive in God’s love—the Kingdom of heaven within you today.
