Jesus was sent to Earth to deliver a Message to humanity. A surprising message from outer space, the third heaven, from our CREATOR GOD. A correct understanding of what that REVELATION is, the one true Gospel, separates the Church of God from all others and exalts pure religion above all false ways (John 17:17).
There is only one way to enter the Kingdom of God, and that is through Christ (Acts 4:12). He is the Key that opens the Royal House of God, the Open Door to the Universe, the Door to Eternity, the Immortal Pioneer who has opened the way! All other roads are dead ends and will self-destruct (John 10: 1).
GOD IS REPRODUCING HIMSELF! That is the glorious Good News that Jesus boldly proclaimed! The Gospel of the KINGDOM OF GOD announces the KINGDOM OF GOD: a Kingdom of Beings-God born of the Spirit! A Royal Family that we can enter (Rev. 3:21). A Divine Family that will administer the Government of God throughout the universe and eternity (Isa. 9: 7; Dan. 7:18).
God became man, so that man could become God (John 1:14; Matthew 10:25). Humanity has been created according to GOD, and after a life of conversion, of changing for the better, going through the purification process (being more like God, more like Christ, more like the Kingdom) we can BE BORN AGAIN FOR A RESURRECTION – just as was Jesus, the firstborn of MANY brothers! (Romans 1: 4; 8:29). Currently, we are too human, but we will soon be transformed into a glorious and immortal Spirit! (John 10: 34-35; Ephesians 4:24). This is what Jesus said to Nicodemus, the Jewish religious leader. He didn’t beat around the bush, he went straight to the point and said, “You must be born again” (John 3: 3).
Jesus delved into this bomb, seeing that Nicodemus was dumbfounded (as are many religious people today), and explained that if your parents are flesh and blood humans, it is natural that you are human too. “What is born of the flesh IS flesh.” You are neither more nor less. Gender after gender (Gen. 1:27). And if you are born again by a GOD composed of the Spirit, it is supernatural that you become a God composed of the Spirit! “What is born of the Spirit IS Spirit” (John 3: 3-8). Human beings can become GOD-BEINGS! But first we must be BORN AGAIN.
Unless we are born again, by a RESURRECTION, we cannot even see or enter the Royal Family of God! The apostle Paul clearly taught the same as Jesus: “And as we have borne the image of the earthly (flesh and blood), we will also bear the image of the heavenly (Spirit). This I say, brothers, FLESH AND BLOOD WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD … But we will all be TRANSFORMED… resurrected incorruptible… and… clothed with immortality. ”(1 Cor. 15: 48-53) When will mortals become immortal? (Proving that we are not now!). When will we change our composition? and character? “… at the last trumpet” (vs. 52) – NOT during this life, but at the coming of Christ and our resurrection (Rev. 11:15; 20: 6) How plain and simple!
Why have the vast majority of professing Christians been deceived on this point? Why are they bleating that they have already been “born again”? Jesus said “what is born of the Spirit IS Spirit” and Paul said “flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God.” Will you believe in the Bible or in traditional Christianity? (Mark 7: 7).
But will we really become GOD-BEINGS? (1 John 3: 9). Will God be our literal FATHER? Will we take His FAMILY NAME? (Ephesians 3:15; Revelation 22: 4). Yes! Because it is REVEALED that “when He appears, we will be like Him” (I John 3: 4), “who will change our vile body (flesh), so that we may be like His glorious body (Spirit), according to the operation by the which HE IS ABLE even to subdue all things to Himself ”(Philippians 3:21). Just as David and Daniel prophesied of the BRIGHT FUTURE that God has in store for us, when we will inherit His divine nature and form: “… I will see your face in righteousness: I will be satisfied when I wake up (in the resurrection), with your likeness” and ” they shall shine… like the stars forever and ever. ”(Ps. 17:15; Dan. 12: 3) Again, genre after genre (Galatians 4:19) What a glorious hope and calling!
Humanity created after God, born again in resurrection, composed of Spirit and Divine! THIS IS ALL OF GOD’S PLAN AND PURPOSE! It will soon be a mission accomplished in our lives and we will experience the “finishing touch” to our spiritual creation (Philippians 1: 6; Revelation 1: 8; Ephesians 2:10). We are actually the Kingdom of God in embryo, the PIONEERING COMMUNITY of an advanced civilization, which will soon help to establish HEAVEN ON EARTH! In the meantime, may we continue to develop and reflect the HOLY AND RIGHTEOUS CHARACTER of God in joyous anticipation! (2 Peter 1: 4).
