Define the concept of “holy tension”. What desires conflict in this battle? How does the New Covenant help us face this tension?

- Holy tension is the discovery of the distance between who we are and who we were created to be in Christ and who we would like to become In Christ and how do we bridge the gap. Knowing that it is God’s desire for us to be who we are in Christ helps us to believe He will help us get there and realize that He has already provided away through His Son.

Holy Tension: When I’m aware of the tension between how I experience myself and what I long to be.
The desire that conflict in this battle is between what I was designed to be and long to be as a Christian and the person that I am (flawed). The battle between my present reality and my eternal destiny.
The New Covenant helps us face this tension as Christians by giving us relief within our soul as only the New Covenant through the shed blood of Jesus Christ can give.

Holy tension is when a person gets a vision of what he can be in Christ (and that’s what God desires him to be), over and above what he is right now. Flesh dynamics and Spirit dynamics are in conflict in this battle, but the New Covenant helps us prevail over this tension by giving us a new purity, a new identity, a new inclination and a new power.
