We are adopted children God

We are Adopted Children of God! Why? How?

In this case, we had to view from two different angles.

One is the earthly and the other heavenly.

From the physical and spiritual . If we view from the physical angle, we are made up of soil and all the substance of the earth, the gas, water, etc.

But if we view from the spiritual angle, our soul arrived from God. It is the continuation of His 'breathe' and life that He once breathed on mankind.

The soul arrives from the bosom of God. They are supposed to be good and God gives all of us the ability to return home safely.

But the only Begotten Son of God is Jesus Christ.

He came from God. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of Virgin Mary. He became man. He is the 'Incarnation' of God into flesh.

But human beings are conceived because of the actions of our parents and God co-operated with man by giving the life, a soul.

Human physical bodies are, like clothing for the souls and the spirits. In the physical unseen, dwelled the 'image and likeness' of God, that was what God meant it to be. Therefore after the fall of Mankind, God continued to sanctify and purifies the lives and wills of mankind, to fit into the likeness of His Son, Jesus Christ.

Before the creation of Adam and Eve, there wasn't any human figure in heaven, earth or world below. But after creation of Adam and Eve, they sinned and fell away from God, Jesus Christ, as God was Incarnated into a human figure. So that He can be the New Leader to bring people back to God, by restoring their sinful ways and wills, to that of Jesus Christ as Son of Man. Jesus was the Anointed One of God, to be the Messiah and Savior of the world.

Only through Him, with Him and in Him can we inherit the 'New Life' that God meant for us. That is a dwelling place in heaven.

Human beings are creature of the earth, God adopts us into His Kingdom in heaven, through unity with His Son, in the Mystical Body of Christ. Which is also called the Resurrected and Glorified Body of Jesus Christ. The New Temple of Jerusalem. Jesus Christ, introduced humanity into the Blessed Trinity of God.

Basically, it was more on the economy of salvation. We were once living in sin and the world reigned by the devil, but God had claimed back His own territory, that is the world and all unseen power and authority. Through Jesus Christ we are once adopted to the family of God. Like the story of 'The prodigal son and his father'. We were once a slave of sin, and we had no ability to get out of this bondage. Jesus died for us and by His blood He sealed the 'New and Everlasting Covenant' between God and mankind. He was and is our mediator between God and Man. Just like the younger son in the parable of 'The prodigal son' would not dared to be called a son but would call himself the servant. But his father raised him up from the fall and adopted him back to his own family.

So this applies to our relationship between God and man. We too were once children of God, living according to His will and plan, but mankind fell and left the family of God and dwell in seclusion from God's sight and love. Mankind wondered in the wilderness of sin and shame and would not dared to look at God in the 'eye' anymore. But only through Jesus Christ can we call God 'Abba Father'. A very intimate words of love between the Father and Son. So Christ gave us His Spirit, which is the Spirit of filial adoption, so that we too in our human body and spirit, join with Christ's Spirit to call God in this intimate manner. Therefore it was Christ Jesus who once again reconciles us, who had fallen to be once again fully and truly sons and daughters of God. Just like in the above parable of Jesus, God the Father too put the ring, cloak, shoes, etc of sonship on our body, so too God through Jesus. But God no longer looked with anger at mankind and our continuous sinful ways, but He looked at Jesus His Begotten and obedience Son, with love, acceptance and mercy. God cling on to the promise of His Son who would transform mankind sinful ways into the ways of God. Therefore we can only look at God through the 'eye' of Jesus Christ only.

The Holy Spirit in us would proclaim that our parents are instruments of God to bring us into the world.

We lived for God not for man. Our live are entirely dedicated to Him alone. All friends, companions, assets and all goodness were given by God to us so as to facilitate our growth and survival on earth.

Nothing that happens on earth is without spiritual significant. Nothing ever escape from the 'eye' and perfect vision of God.

All events that had happened , are happening and would happen in times to come had to pass and get the approval, consent and blessing from God.

The devil cannot hide their innermost secrets. Their every meeting and plans are all in the hands of God. If God would not permit, nothing happen. They had very limited power but our freewill must be molded and to be powerful and obedient to God for the benefit of the soul inside of us.

Putting our trust and handing back this freewill to God, to be strengthened, guided, nurtured or molded so as to have the similar freewill of Jesus as Son of Man. Christ freewill brings about great benefit to His body, soul and spirit. His freewill had triumph, because He surrendered it so as to fulfill and be completely obedient to the will of God. By doing so, He not only saved Himself, as human being from decay and decomposition after death but He brings about the salvation of all mankind, who would come to God through Him.

Praise the Lord. Amen
