The purpose of God’s creation of the earth we live in is to have man to believe in Jesus, the Christ, to be born again by the Holy Spirit and to be adopted as God’s children. In other words, from the beginning, God predestined to send Jesus, who was with God in the beginning as the Word, into the world to be born. What a mysterious word it is?
In this mysterious will of God, after creating all things on the earth in the future, God will create man in the image and likeness of God himself. Finally, he will remove the devil from the earth by the Christ. The devil was going to have man to sin against God and fill the earth with sins, death and curses. Finally God will cast him out to hell. It contains a mysterious plan that accomplishes the will. The prophet Isaiah prophesied of the destiny of Lucifer, the devil that rebelled against God in heaven:
Finally, in order to remove sins, death and curses filled in the earth because of the devil that made man to rebel against God, Jesus Christ took away all such things through his death. This is the reason why John the Baptisy testified of Jesus as the lamb of God which takes awaay the sin of the world(John 1:29). God will cast the devil into the lake of fire after the millennium kingdom of Christ to fulfill the will of God to be done in the earth.
Christ Jesus, who resurrected after finally taking away the sin of the world, gave the Holy Spirit, to those who believed in Him giving them the grace to be adopted as children of God. After cleansing the heavens and the earth, Heavenly Father made a plan to cleanse all those who were born into the world and make them his children by accepting the blood of sacrifice offered to the Father by the only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ wants to give all who believe in Him the eternal life in Himself. Also, He is not ashamed to call them as his brothers whosoever receive the eternal life:
God brought the children who became brothers of Jesus Christ to gather in his church where Christ is its head. He said when the children gather together, Christ will praise the Father with them. How amazing is this? When the children of God gather in the church and praise Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son, and his children are blessed to worship One Father.
In today’s main scripture, Apostle Paul testified of the holy work that Christians redeemed by the blood of Christ:
When Apostle Paul wrote to the saints in Rome, he clearly testified of spiritual mission of Christians who are children of God while living in the present world:
God made Jesus as the first one to be born of the Holy Spirit. And God also made the children of God to bw born in the same Spirit of God giving them indescribable blessing to be brothers of Jesus Christ. In addition, God made them not only the brothers of Christ, but also as the helping spouses to fulfill the eternal will of God that fills all things in all in the the future. Apostle Paul testified of the filling of all things in all:
Have you received the Spirit of Christ and became the children of God? So, did you realize how glorious the blessing of being children of God is? If you realize this glorious blessing, you will realize what is your goal living in the present world. King David foreshadowed in the Holy Spirit Christ, who would appear in the world to save his soul in the future, and prayed to God about his purpose of life:
King David testified of the life of the children of God born of the Holy Spirit that are supposed not to belong to this world living pure life only hoping for the day of resurrection in the day of Christ (Day of Rapture) to appear as to be conformed to Christ gloriously, not shamefully.
Apostle Paul testified of what God’s children must do to be conformed to the image of Christ:
The old man is referring to Adam. All of us were born with the blood of Adam from the birth. Also, all kinds of sins are still hiding in our flesh. However, when our souls were saved (1 Peter 1:9), all the sins that were in us were forgiven. At the same time, through Christ’s circumcision (Col. 2:11), the body of sin has already been put of spiritually. In other words, when we were saved, our old man was spiritually crucified with Christ (Galatians 2:20) and was buried with Christ. Therefore, when the Lord comes, when we take off our sinful body and put on an immortal and incorruptible body, our inner being must be transformed into the same holy image as Christ.
Therefore, we must clothe ourselves with the holy new man, Christ. If so, we need to realize what it is like to be clothed with Christ. Jesus said about how we are to be sanctified in his last prayer:
That’s right! The way we become holy is to fill with the holy Words of God and live a life of obedience to the Words of God. This is the way for us wear the whole armor of God. Our Lord Jesus was in the beginning as the Word, and that Word was God who became in flesh. Grace and truth were full in Him. We also must fill our spirits and souls with His Word so that the fragrance of Christ may manifested through full of grace and truth in our lives. Apostle Paul said unto baby Christians, “I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you.”(Gal. 4:19)
Apostle Paul, who went to the Lord testified of his hope:
