Read Matthew 7:7-11.
This is the wonderful passage in which Jesus enunciated the primary truth of the Fatherhood of God. He says here, definitely and clearly, that the real relationship of God and man is that of parent and child. It is extremely difficult to realize the far-reaching importance that this declaration holds for the life of the soul.
It is axiomatic, of course, that the offspring must be of the same nature and species as the parent; and so if God and man are indeed Father and child, man must be essentially divine too, and susceptible of infinite development up the rising pathway of divinity. That is to say, as man’s true nature unfolds, he will expand in spiritual consciousness until he has transcended all bounds of human imagination. It is in reference to our glorious destiny, that Jesus himself says elsewhere, quoting the older scriptures:
Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken…(John 10:34-35).
It is an awesome thought…we are children of the creator who is the ultimate power in the universe. Each of us is a divine being planned from the beginning of time to become part of God’s family. What do we think God had in mind for each of us when he brought us into existence. Do we think he put us here to worry and fret through a short physical life and then to cease our existence? Or do we think there is a divine purpose for each one of us that God expects us to fulfill? Let us accept today our divine nature and our divine responsibilities and be about carrying out the will of Almighty God. Then we will experience the peace that transcends all human understanding. Then we will return to Eden and stand in the presence of God as his children.
