Today,
reply speaks to the oneness
and sameness
of purpose and sacred will residing within the divine Father and the
Son. Because Jesus Christ appeared on the earth as both the Son of
GOD and the Son of Man, many experience spiritual confusion. The
Savior must address multiple aspects of human and sacred
relationships with their conflicting demands for autonomy,
dependence, durability, infirmity, power, strength, and
vulnerability. The divinity of Christ is to become known and
revealed through inseparable aspects of spirit content, eternal
purpose, and shared sacred operations. Jesus must yet display
authentic divinity as one having divine judicial authority to preside
over sacred tribunals, provide atonement as a High Priest, and to
execute justice by the second
death. Even so, the
authentic humanity displayed throughout his life, death,
resurrection, and ascension will continue by his coronation and his
marriage supper as the consecrated Bridegroom. One of the fighters

What
is the will of the father?
It
says in the Bible that only those who do the will of the father shall
make it into Heaven.
I
am thinking that the will of the father is the will of the son. To
follow God is to follow his son Jesus. Am I correct?
THE
GOLDEN ARROW: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my
word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and
shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when
the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear
shall live. For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given
to the Son to have life in himself; And hath given him authority to
execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. (John 5:
24-27, King James Version, KJV)

because the Word was made flesh, and appeared in the earth using the
form of a man (Jesus Christ), the integrity of being, the oneness
without sameness that is shared among divinity (we also say,
the divine fullness; the Godhead; the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit)
and the discrete personhood of the Holy should be less difficult to
apprehend than ever before. However, Jesus had to display authentic
humanity at every stage of carnal, material and social development;
as a result, many of us often fail to properly acknowledge his divine
essence as the image of GOD. While we know there are communication,
exchange and interaction among the Divine Persons (i.e., multiple
relationships) we can not clearly and simply describe the many shifts
in accountability, direction, presence, sacred process, and
works that also exist. The accord and eternal purpose of Father, Son
and Holy Spirit that were manifest in Creation are continued through
the shared eternal purpose displayed as judgment, reconciliation,
redemption, and salvation. Consider again the following that uses
language from the Bible:
1.
John 1: 1-5, King James Version (KJV): 1 In the beginning was the
Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same
was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and
without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life;
and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in
darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
2.
John 1: 10-14, KJV: 10 He was in the world, and the world was made
by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and his
own received him not. 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: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of
the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the Word was
made 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.
3.
Colossians 1: 12-20, KJV: 12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which
hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in
light: 13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath
translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 In whom we
have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of
sins: 15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of
every creature: 16 For by him were all things created, that are in
heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they
be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all
things were created by him, and for him: 17 And he is before all
things, and by him all things consist. 18 And he is the head of the
body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead;
that in all things he might have the preeminence. 19 For it
pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; 20
And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to
reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they
be things in earth, or things in heaven.
4.
John 6: 38-40, KJV: 38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine
own will, but the will of him that sent me. 39 And this is the
Father’s will which hath sent
me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but
should raise it up again at the last day. 40 And this is the will of
him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth
on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the
last day.
There
is far more that should be said, correctly examined, and spiritually
apprehended. (For example, 5. 1st John 2: 22-24, KJV:
22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is
antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 23 Whosoever
denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: [but] he that
acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. 24 Let that
therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If
that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye
also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.) Even so, I
trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your
faith.
