If someone asked you if you knew the real purpose of life, could you answer them? Do you really know and know that you know the real purpose of life?
Before we proceed any further, let me offer the answer. The purpose for human life is that God is literally reproducing Himself through man! God created man to be His sons in His Family!
We have been destined to become literal sons of the literal family of God! Not many people on this tiny blue earth know, nor understand this answer!
John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Since Jesus, and we who are converted have the same Father (God), He is “not ashamed” to call us brothers.
Hebrews 2:11For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
Revelation 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
Is this saying we will be like Jesus Christ? Yes! We will be His brothers like brothers and sisters.
Philippians 3:21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
1 John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
We will be like Him (Jesus). We will not be like the angels or any other being of inferior
type.
Hebrews 2:5-11 (5) For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak. (6) But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest him? (7) Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: (8) Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. (9) But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. (10) For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. (11) For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
We will be the literal sons of God and part of His Family. Therefore, since God is a Family name we will be members of this Family.
Here are some key verses.
Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
We can also see that the Father and Son have a literal family relationship. Let’s go to Matthew 3.
Matthew 3:17And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
We can also see that this relationship is not limited to Jesus and the Father. It is also extended to include us.
John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Romans 8:15-16 (15) For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. (16) The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
It becomes very clear that our destiny, yes, our destiny is to be spiritual sons of God!
Revelation 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
We can see that our physical bodies will be changed from this fleshly body to become a glorious spiritual body like Jesus Christ!
Philippians 3:21 Who shall change our vile body ,that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
It should be plain that we will look like Jesus.
1 John 3:1-2 (1) Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. (2) Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
The fact that we believe and teach that God is reproducing Himself so we will become literal sons and daughters as members of the Family of God should not seem strange to those who read and study the Word of God. Jesus told the Jews that all people have the potential to become a member of the God Family. Let’s go John 10.
John 10:29-39 (29) My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. (30) I and my Father are one. (31) Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. (32) Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? (33) The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. (34) Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? (35) If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; (36) Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? (37) If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. (38) But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. (39) Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand.
They did not believe nor accept this truth at the time of Jesus Christ, and most people do not believe nor accept this truth today.
In Psalm 8:4, King David asked an important question. Do you know the answer?
Psalm 8:4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
God has this awesome plan of salvation for all mankind. God created us to become literal, spiritual DNA sons in His literal Family!
What is man? Potential sons in the Family of God!
I am sure you agree with me in praying, Thy Kingdom Come! Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
