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).
What more, is there to know than this? When one truly believes this, one’s life is forever transformed. That life becomes a journey toward God and away from self. This is the reverse of common human reality experienced by most people today. In this rebirth, we are quickened (made spiritually conscious) with a soul, the Holy Spirit, that allows us to transcend our physical, human, self-centered spirits.
It is then that our new life in the Kingdom of God begins and our old life in the kingdom of self is buried (put away). This is where the divine resides in us, and we in it. Therein is the Eden God created, and we were created to populate as Gods (given dominion over).
Lord, let us be the God’s (exert dominion over) of our spiritual kingdoms, so that our physical world reflects the true reality of oneness with God and each other. Amen.
