There is a proper and good sense in which we should believe God as annihilated something into non-existence.
Annihilation of the old man some call termination. And this is the passing away into non-being that the Christian really should admit, realize, believe in, preach, and truth of which the believers must stand upon boldly.
Annihilation - of the independent [b]"I" who lives apart from God.
Knowing this,
Being cognizant of this,
Grasping and realizing THIS.
The Adamic "I" - independent from God, alienated from the life of God has been TERMINATED. Not by our effort has it been terminated. But by union with Jesus Christ it has been annulled, terminated, annihilated with Him in His crucifixion.
I am going to repeat this truth in several other words.
