Jesus was sent to Earth to deliver a Message to humanity. An amazing message from outer space, the third heaven, from our CREATOR GOD. A correct understanding of what that REVELATION is, the only 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 unlocks 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! 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 God-Beings 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, of going through the purification process (being more like God, more like Christ, more like the Kingdom) we can BE BORN AGAIN! ONE RESURRECTION – just like Jesus was, the firstborn of MANY brothers! (Romans 1:4; 8:29). Currently, we are too human, but soon we will be transformed into a glorious and immortal Spirit! (John 10:34-35; Ephesians 4:24). This is what Jesus told Nicodemus, the Jewish religious leader. He didn’t mince words, he got straight to the point and said, “You must be born again” (John 3:3).
Jesus crafted this bombshell, seeing that Nicodemus was dumbfounded (as are many religious people today), and explained that if your parents are flesh and blood humans, it’s only natural that you should be human too. “That which is born of 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! “That which is born of the Spirit IS Spirit” (John 3:3-8). Human beings can become GODS-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 shall also bear the image of the heavenly (Spirit). This I say, brethren: FLESH AND BLOOD CANNOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD …but we will all be CHANGED…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 felt let down on this point? Why are they bleating that they have already been “born again”? Jesus said “that which is born of the Spirit IS Spirit” and Paul said “flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God.” Will you believe the Bible or traditional Christianity? (Mark 7:7).
But, will we really become GODS-BEINGS? (1 John 3:9). Will God be our literal FATHER? Shall we take his FAMILY NAME? (Ephesians 3:15; Revelation 22:4). Yes! Because it is REVEALED that “when He appears, we shall be like Him” (I John 3:4), “who will change our vile body (flesh), that it may be like the body of His glory (Spirit), according to the operation by which HE IS ABLE even to subject 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 “shine…as the stars forever and ever” (Ps. 17:15; Dan. 12:3). Again, gender after gender (Galatians 4:19) What a glorious hope and calling!
Humanity created after God, born again in the resurrection, composed of the Spirit and Divine! THIS IS GOD’S ENTIRE PLAN AND PURPOSE! It will soon be 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 embryonic Kingdom of God, the PIONEER COMMUNITY of an advanced civilization, which will soon help establish HEAVEN ON EARTH! In the meantime, may we continue to develop and reflect God’s HOLY AND RIGHTEOUS CHARACTER in joyful anticipation! (2 Peter 1:4).
