We humans are created in God’s image in infinite wonderfulness and potential of spirit, soul and body. 

We have the quantity of our being (Acts 17:28), but not the quality–no human nature by which we can express the kind of persons we are. We are on the container level–vessels, branches, temples, body-members, slaves. God is The Only One in the universe who can express Himself, and there is only His nature. 

But nothing can be expressed except by its opposite. So God–Father, Son and Spirit–has His fixed nature in self-giving love (Titus 1:2). But there is a created being, Lucifer, Satan, who chose to express himself in that opposite nature of self-getting love, called "the god of this world." (2 Cor. 4:4). 

We humans can therefore only be conscious selves by being confronted with the opposites, and were temporarily taken over by Satan at the Fall. Thus we express his Satan-sin nature of self-for-self and fulfill his lusts (Eph. 2:1-3 & John 8:44). 

From this captive condition there is no escape for any member of the human race except that God Himself by His  Son (2 Cor. 5:19) becoming a human, operating in his humanity by His Father’s nature (Luke 3:22; 4:18 & 21; Heb. 9:14; Rom. 8:11), rejecting the solicitation of Satan in his nature (Luke 4:1-14), and then dying on the Cross in His human body as us, was "made sin" and thus "dead to sin" (2 Cor. 5:21 & Rom. 6:10); and in His resurrection as us, The Spirit of Truth replacing that spirit of error. 

So through Him we fallen humans can exercise our one faculty of reception (faith). We can "receive" (John 1:12), "yield" (Rom. 6:13 & 16) "recognize" (Rom. 6:11) Him in us, the Spirit of Truth replacing the spirit of error. We do not commit ourselves as though we had a quality of self (a "nature") which needs changing. We simply recognize that in our centrally empty selves (like a donut!), our container selves is now occupied by His divine Self in His nature (2 Pet. 1:4); as branches, we no longer bear the fruit of a tree of which we are now ashamed, but are joined to the Vine whose fruit is holiness (Rom. 6:21, 22). The exchange through Christ has taken place of Indwelling Christ for indwelling sin (Rom. 8:9 in place of 7:17). 

We have been delivered from that false deceit we acquired from Satan (Rev. 12:9) of an independent quality of self by which we thought we were self-operating, self-relying, self-expressing, which was Paul’s great revelation of Rom. 7, for we have no such thing as a self-operating self to "commit" or be rid of. It is a deceit and lie. We act as selves, but are being operated by one or other of the "Deity" spirits. 

Thus now we move into a thousand times more vigorous human action, because we are freed to be ourselves by the Spirit who has inwardly revealed to us that Galatians 2:20 is a fact and a fact about me! We freely function as ourselves by the both conscious and unconscious permanent inner knowing that He is our life and Motivator; and the Spirit of Love as us now thrusts us out into our share of bringing Him to our fellow humans who are redeemed and don’t know it, or are not yet willing to receive Him. 

Page Prewitt in a letter to me put it like this: "We have the whole thing (i.e. human nature being Satan and not we etc.). This truth completes the circle. Christ in me as me is a glorious beginning, but then what about me? What am I going to do with this part that’s "just me"? Wonderful to know there is no such thing. Then I’m not looking to change or put myself to death, commit myself etc. How fortunate we are to know the whole of it."

By this Page does not mean of course that we cease to exist as a "me" (the very opposite–we come alive as a total "me"). But we are for ever emptied of that false consciousness of ‘me’ as if I am the runner of my own "me." I have found my central nothingness, occupied by His something-ness (allness), and then I am a total something!
