IN THE BEGINNING


 

In this article we will look at the plan that God has had for His created beings and His offspring. This article will contain new knowledge for most, if not all of its readers. Before anything else existed, God the Father was alone. He is called the one true God because He alone has existed for all eternity.

 

 

“BEFORE THE BEGINNING GOD THE FATHER”

 

God the Father is the self-existent One, He has always existed. God the Father inhabits eternity. He had no beginning. God the Father is the one and only true God. There is only one true God, which is one God who has existed forever and that is the Father. That is the definition of being a true God.

 

Isa 57:15  For thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, With him who has a contrite and humble spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

 

Joh 17:3  And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

 

God reveals many things to us, especially if we are obedient.

 

Deu 29:29  “The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.

 

What does God the Father look like? We do not know what He looks like. Humans have never seen God’s face. We know that He looks like us because man was made in His image.

 

1Co 11:7  For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.

 

Exo 33:20  But He said, “You cannot see My face; for no man shall see Me, and live.”

 

Moses was able to see God’s back, but he did not describe God. In the past God the Father has appeared to people in six ways. They are in a cloud, in fire, in a whirlwind, in a vision, invisible or a dream.

 

 

“A POINT IN TIME CALLED THE BEGINNING”

 

In the Old Testament Jesus is not called Jesus, He is called God or the Word. God the Father is called LORD in the Old Testament but He is also called God, He and Jesus are also known by other names too. God the Father and Jesus are a family they are Father and Son.

 

Unlike God the Father, God the Word (who later became Jesus Christ) has not existed forever. God the Word is God the Father’s Son. God the Word was born in a time God calls the beginning. Everything that was made, was made by God the Father through Jesus Christ.

 

Joh 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Joh 1:2  He was in the beginning with God.

Joh 1:3  All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.

 

Eph 3:14  For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

Eph 3:15  from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

 

God the Father has only one Son. The following scriptures show that truth.

 

Joh 1:14  And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

 

Joh 3:18  “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

 

 

SONS OF GOD AND ANGELS

 

After Jesus or the Word was born to the Father, it was decided that Jesus would have sons born to Him.

 

We feel that the sons of God may have been born before the angels were created. We base this on the following scripture.

 

Job 38:7  When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy?

 

The sons of God are in fact sons (or grandsons) of God the Word. Notice the following scripture.

 

Job 1:6  Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them.

 

In the above scripture the word God used is Eloheem which is Jesus or the Word. The word LORD is Jehovah which is God the Father.

 

So the scripture with the meanings of the words in the above verse is as follows:

 

Now there was a day when the sons of God the Word (Jesus Christ) came to present themselves before the Father and Satan also came among them.

 

Lucifer is also a son of God. This is how we can identify him as a son of God.

 

Isa 14:12  “How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations!

 

The name Lucifer means morning star. The above scripture calls Lucifer son of the morning. How are you fallen from heaven O morning star son of the morning.

 

Jesus is the bright and Morning star. Lucifer is the son of Jesus.

 

Rev 22:16  “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”

 

In Job 38 v 7 the morning stars sang together, that would have been God the Word and His son Lucifer, there may have been other morning stars also but at the time of writing, we can only identify two.

 

It is thought that the earth was created approximately 4.5 billion years ago.

 

Gen 1:1  In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

 

Once God the Father and God the Word created the universe, they decided that the sons of God could live on earth. Possibly around this time the angels were created also. The sons of God and the angels were put on the earth. God the Word had many sons and or grandchildren or great grandchildren to God the Father.

 

When the universe was created the sons of God were obedient to God and happy with the prospect of their new home.

 

Job 38:7  When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy?

 

At this time the dinosaurs possibly lived on the earth.

 

The dinosaurs are thought to have roamed the earth approximately 245 million years ago.

 

Now all those years ago the sons of God, the angels and the dinosaurs were on the earth. It is believed that the dinosaurs were on the earth for approximately 165 million years. Possibly the sons of God and the angels were on the earth for this amount of time.

 

 

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE ANGELS AND THE SONS OF GOD?

 

The sons of God can have children born to them and are born sons of God. The angels cannot reproduce and are created beings.

 

We have clearly shown how the sons of God are sons of God the Word, now notice how they reproduce with mankind.

 

Gen 6:1  Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them,

Gen 6:2  that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.

Gen 6:3  And the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”

Gen 6:4  There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

 

Notice also how the serpent or Satan has seed, therefore he is a son of God.

 

Gen 3:15  And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel.”

 

Angels are created and cannot reproduce.

 

Mar 12:25  For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

 

Heb 1:5  For to which of the angels did He ever say: “YOU ARE MY SON, TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU”? And again: “I WILL BE TO HIM A FATHER, AND HE SHALL BE TO ME A SON”?

Heb 1:6  But when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says: “LET ALL THE ANGELS OF GOD WORSHIP HIM.”

Heb 1:7  And of the angels He says: “WHO MAKES HIS ANGELS SPIRITS AND HIS MINISTERS A FLAME OF FIRE.”

 

Heb 1:13  But to which of the angels has He ever said: “SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND, TILL I MAKE YOUR ENEMIES YOUR FOOTSTOOL”?

Heb 1:14  Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?

 

Now we have clearly shown the difference between the born sons of God who can reproduce themselves and the angels who were created beings and who cannot reproduce.

 

Back now to the earth, the sons of God, angels, and dinosaurs have possibly inhabited the earth for millions of years, the dinosaurs are dated at inhabiting the earth approximately 245 million years ago. There is no way of knowing when exactly the sons of God and the angels began to live on the earth, we only know the approximate dates of the dinosaurs and use that as a rough guide.

 

After some time, things changed. The sons of God and the angels who were content and happy, were being led down a different path of disobedience by Lucifer. He was a son of God, and probably along with Satan who is the arch deceiver and murderer, and also another son of God, formed an alliance to push for more power, many of the sons of God and angels joined this rebellion. Lucifer was more than likely in a very high position here on earth, possibly sent to govern the earth by carrying out God’s laws. He was possibly over all the sons of God and angels on the earth. Notice in the scripture below how he had a throne. However he coveted more power, he wanted to be greater in authority than God the Father, in fact he wanted to take over the very throne of God.

 

The following scripture does not mention Satan, but it is a very good assumption that he was right in the thick of these negotiations.

 

Isa 14:12  “How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations!

Isa 14:13  For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north;

Isa 14:14  I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.’

 

This alliance and rebellion caused catastrophic destruction to the earth. This rebelling army consisting of the sons of God and angels could have numbered in the millions. As they joined forces to take over the throne of God. The ensuing battle resulted in the earth being left without form and void as described in Gen 1 v 2. It was at this time that the dinosaurs all perished. It is thought that the dinosaurs died approximately 65 million years ago. Therefore, the sons of God and the angels may well have lived on the earth in peace and harmony with God for millions of years. However, this is only speculation as to how long they were content to live under the authority of the Father and God the Word. We can only assume these dates based on what scientists estimate the age of the earth and the time the dinosaurs lived and died.

 

The following scripture shows the horrific state of the earth after the rebellion by the alliance of angels and sons of God to fight against the Almighty God, God the Word and the faithful angels. If any sons of God remained faithful they would have fought along with God as well.

 

Gen 1:2  The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

 

As we can see in the above account, a lot of time and a lot of events happened between Genesis 1 v 1 and Genesis 1 v 2.

 

After this terrible catastrophe and the dreadful condition of the earth, God decided to make the earth able to be inhabited once more.

This time with humans instead of spirit beings.

 

 

THE EARTH WAS RENEWED AND ORIGINAL MAN CREATED

 

Psa 104:30  You send forth Your Spirit, they are created; And You renew the face of the earth.

 

Now we come to the creation of original man. As you no doubt have read in newspapers or books, remains of ancient humans have been located. These human remains have been dated as old as 360,000 years.

 

The Bible tells us that there was a creation of man before Adam and Eve, we have called them original man.

 

Let’s look at the account in Genesis and compare the differences.

 

In the verse below which is the original man, male and female were created together. However, in Gen 2 v 7 Man {Adam} was created on his own, it was not till quite a while later that woman {Eve} was fashioned from his rib.

 

Gen 1:26  Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

Gen 1:27  So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

 

Both original man and the animals were created as vegetarians.

 

Gen 1:29  And God said, “See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food.

Gen 1:30  Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food”; and it was so.

 

Animals were created before man in the original creation. When Adam and Eve were created the animals were created later.

 

Gen 1:24  Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind”; and it was so.

Gen 1:25  And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

Gen 1:26  Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

 

The winding up of the original creation of man.

 

Gen 2:4  This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,

 

Original man was created with the Holy Spirit of power and therefore had the knowledge of eternal life.

 

Original man, built ships, no doubt cities, they were well developed in trade, notice the following verse.

 

Psa 104:26  There the ships sail about; There is that Leviathan Which You have made to play there.

 

Unfortunately, original man did not want to obey God, they slowly went against God. They turned to become sodomites and lesbians.

 

Rom 1:18  For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

Rom 1:19  because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.

Rom 1:20  For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,

Rom 1:21  because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

Rom 1:22  Professing to be wise, they became fools,

Rom 1:23  and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

Rom 1:24  Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves,

Rom 1:25  who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

Rom 1:26  For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.

Rom 1:27  Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

Rom 1:28  And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

Rom 1:29  being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers,

Rom 1:30  backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

Rom 1:31  undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful;

Rom 1:32  who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

 

How disappointing these events must have been to God. Firstly, the rebellion of the sons of God and the angels. Then the original creation of man rejected God and His laws and degenerated into sexual deviates.

 

God had no choice other than to destroy these rebellious people off the face of the earth. God then destroyed them with a flood. Note that the flood in Noah’s time did not destroy the earth. This verse refers to two different floods. Noah’s flood and the flood that destroyed the original creation and the earth.

 

Gen 9:11  Thus I establish My covenant with you: Never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood; never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.”

 

Psa 104:29  You hide Your face, they are troubled; You take away their breath, they die and return to their dust.

 

 

ADAM AND EVE

 

After original man disobeyed God and wanted no part of Him in their lives, they were destroyed with a flood and then sometime later God created Adam. Remember that we stated above that human remains have been discovered and have been estimated to be 360,000 years old.

 

That means that it could have been over 350,000 years after original man was destroyed before God created Adam. If the reader takes the time to look at and study Genesis Chapter 2, they will see that this is a completely different creation then the one mentioned in Gen. Chapter 1.

 

This is now the creation of Adam.

 

Gen 2:7  And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.

 

Notice the following verse is the first mention of the garden of Eden. There was no mention of the Garden of Eden in the Original creation of man.

 

Gen 2:8  The LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed.

 

There is quite a bit of time and events between when God made Adam and when He made woman {Eve}.

 

Gen 2:21  And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.

Gen 2:22  Then the rib which the LORD God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.

 

Eve was only referred to as “the woman” until just before they left the Garden of Eden. Adam named her Eve just before God made them clothing.

 

Gen 3:20  And Adam called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.

 

It wasn’t long before Adam and the woman were tempted by the serpent. God had instructed them not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. However, the serpent lied to them and Adam and the woman were deceived by him.

 

In the garden of Eden a lot more happened than just eating of the fruit of the tree. The trees in the garden were in fact sons of God. ‘Pleasing’ means desirable. ‘Desired’ means ‘lusted’. Eve lusted after the sons of God, and ate of them. Adam also followed suit.

 

Gen 3:6  So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.

 

Notice in this scripture how the trees envied the other tree, that is because they were sons of God not trees.

 

Eze 31:9  I made it beautiful with a multitude of branches, So that all the trees of Eden envied it, That were in the garden of God.’

 

In the following scripture we see that a created covering cherub was also in the garden and also had rebelled against God.

 

Eze 28:13  You were in Eden, the garden of God; Every precious stone was your covering: The sardius, topaz, and diamond, Beryl, onyx, and jasper, Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold. The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes Was prepared for you on the day you were created.

Eze 28:14  “You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones.

Eze 28:15  You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, Till iniquity was found in you.

 

Adam and Eve were thrown out of the garden, sin had entered the second creation of man. Once again rebellion occurred as Adam and Eve decided to disbelieve God and follow the advice of the serpent. No doubt the sons of God and other rebellious beings, who were in the garden, played a part in their decision.

 

Adam and Eve had children and soon the earth began to have a large number of humans dwelling on it.

 

The following verses have to be read carefully. Adam had sex with Eve, and Cain was born. Cain was ‘of that wicked one.’ Cain was ‘from the Lord.’ Cain was of the evil God seed {evil sons of God}, not from the good seed created in Adam and Eve. Due to the fact that the sons of God had sex with Adam and Eve, it was possible for them to reproduce through mankind whenever it suited them.

 

Gen 4:1  Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, and said, “I have acquired a man from the LORD.”

 

1Jn 3:12  not as Cain who was of the wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil and his brother’s righteous.

 

Corruption was rampant on the earth, and God was sorry that He had created man. By this time there was an influx of sons of God who had married daughters of men as mentioned in Gen 6 v 2.

 

God decided He would destroy man and all animals off the earth.

 

But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. Notice the following scripture Noah was perfect in his generations. What that means is that the sons of God had not infected his bloodlines. His bloodlines were perfect. Therefore God could rid the earth of the infected humans and start again with Noah.

 

Gen 6:9  This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.

 

However while the ark was being built, the sons of God had sex with one or all of the women who were going on the ark.

 

1Pe 3:19  by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison,

1Pe 3:20  who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.

 

The sons of God could not wait to ruin the plans that God had for mankind, they are so full of hate and envy of God, His plans, and the family that God is creating here on earth.

 

The result of the disobedience of the sons of God means that their children could and were carried on passed the flood. The sons of God had children born to them by one or all of the women on the ark. Look at the example of Canaan, he sodomised Noah.

 

Gen 9:20  And Noah began to be a farmer, and he planted a vineyard.

Gen 9:21  Then he drank of the wine and was drunk, and became uncovered in his tent.

 

The above verse means that Noah, had his clothes removed for the purpose of sex. He was drunk and did not know what was happening to him.

 

Gen 9:22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.

 

Ham saw what had happened to Noah and told his two brothers about it.

 

Gen 9:23  But Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it on both their shoulders, and went backward and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father’s nakedness.

 

Shem and Japheth were very respectful of Noah and did not look at his naked body.

 

Gen 9:24  So Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done to him.

 

In the above verse younger son can and should be translated as grandson.

 

Gen 9:25  Then he said: “Cursed be Canaan; A servant of servants He shall be to his brethren.”

 

Noah cursed Canaan, it was Canaan who had sodomised Noah, the grandson of Noah, The sons of Noah were very respectful towards him. Now the influence of the sons of God had entered mankind after the flood, also the way for them to continue to reproduce with humans was once again available to them.

 

People with eyes to see will be able to read the scriptures and understand what they mean with this new knowledge on creation.

 

Since Noah, man has continued on moving away from God and going down the path of darkness, let us look at some of the scriptures which possibly have not been understood before this time.

 

The parable of the tares.

 

Mat 13:24  Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field;

Mat 13:25  but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way.

Mat 13:26  But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared.

Mat 13:27  So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’

Mat 13:28  He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’

Mat 13:29  But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them.

Mat 13:30  Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.” ’ ”

 

The parable of the tares explained:

 

Mat 13:36  Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.”

Mat 13:37  He answered and said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.

Mat 13:38  The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one.

Mat 13:39  The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels.

Mat 13:40  Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age.

Mat 13:41  The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness,

Mat 13:42  and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Mat 13:43  Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!

 

The following scripture shows that one of the disciples was in fact a son of God, that was Judas Iscariot.

 

Joh 6:70  Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?”

Joh 6:71  He spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, for it was he who would betray Him, being one of the twelve.

 

Other examples of seed of sons of God.

 

Joh 8:44  You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

 

1Jn 3:12  not as Cain who was of the wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil and his brother’s righteous.

 

Jdg 19:22  Now as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain sons of Belial, beset the house round about, and beat at the door, and spake to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house, that we may know him.

 

2Th 2:3  Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition,

 

There are people who God has called. These are special people who want God in their lives, they want to learn about God, they want to obey God. Some of course put in more effort than others, let’s look at this following parable.

 

Mat 13:18  “Therefore hear the parable of the sower:

Mat 13:19  When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside.

Mat 13:20  But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy;

Mat 13:21  yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.

Mat 13:22  Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

Mat 13:23  But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”

 

Since the Adamic creation there have been some wonderful people who were called by God, Abraham, Moses, Noah, the disciples and many many more. These people were spiritual giants, loved by God and will hold very high positions in the kingdom of God. Today, those who are called, have the Bible to read and understand and study. This today is the way God speaks to us, through His written word. In times past God spoke to people in various ways, in the case of the disciples, they were fortunate enough to have Jesus living with them and teaching them.

 

Today, if we are baptised, we have the holy Spirit living in us. If we allow it, the Spirit will lead us and shows us the way to live, act and think.

 

But we must be led by the spirit of God.

 

Rom 8:14  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

 

We must strive to overcome, grow and learn more about God every day. Spend time with Him getting to know Him. If we please God we will be in the kingdom with God helping to teach people His way of life.

 

God has been disappointed by so many things in the past, let us not be a disappointment to Him. Let’s show our love to God by being vigilant to study and pray and be worthy of the precious calling we have been given.
