A Farm For Growing Christ

In the end only those on the farm that keep the commandments will enter the kingdom of heaven.

Ghost is an atheist. Or so he claims so.

FIrst Corinthians has the church as God's cultivated land, God's building.
And the NT says the church "grows with the growth of God" (Col 2:18) .

What is "the growth of God" if God is not in the believers?

Do you think "the growth of God" is just growing physically?
Do you think "the growth of God" is just accumulating more knowledge?

"Grows with the growth of God" is God growing within the saved who have been made "one spirit" with the Lord Jesus Christ.

This is also Christ (who is God-man) being FORMED in the believers.

"My children, with whom I travail again in birth until Christ is formed in you." (Galatians 4:19)

To "mingle" two or more things together is to combine them in such a way that the components remaind distinguishable in the combination.

Today God is recovering with many the significance of being born of God.

This is to have something of God Himself dispensed into the human being.

Why does John say that the one born of God cannot sin? It is because the life of God in the form of the seed of God has been planted into his being. He cannot sin as the seed grows and permeates the seed life into his life. The seed of God contains God and the life of God becomes his life.

Part of his being is God.

Look again:

"Everyone who has been begotten of God does not practice sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been begotten of God." (1 John 3:9)

An attribute of God's life has been planted as a SEED into the human.
And the life of the SEED becomes the life of the human.

The characteristic of the divine SEED now becomes the characteristic of the one in whom the SEED has been planted. John says this is true of "Everyone who has been begotten of God . . . "

Lety us go through this again.

What is the son of a horse?

What is the son of a man?
A man.

What is a son of God?
God (in life and nature but not in His Godhead)

If you can then say the one born of God is of the "species" (if you will) of God.

Maybe you thought to be born of God is just to receive a ticket.
No, to be born of God is for God to dispense something of His life into you that you might become one of the children of God.

" . . . He has granted us precious and exceedingly great promises that through these you might become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption which is in the world through lust." ( 2 Pet.1:4)

So the church must be about planting this seed, watering this seed, and praying and allowing God to cause the life of the seed to grow.

"I planted, Apollos watered, but God caused the growth." (1 Cor. 3:6)

No one individual can express all that God is.
The expression of God in man culminates in a CORPORATE expression.

No one individual Christian will manifest God fully.
The manifestation of God in man is a collective, corporate, builded up city - New Jerusalem.

God plants Himself into people for the building up of this corporate entity New Jerusalem. The practical church life is the precurser and miniture of this city as the church in Corinth was the temple of God.

"Do you [ in Corinth] not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? (1 Cor. 3:16)

Don't you know this Christians?
Who robbed you from this realization?
Don't you know that we are the temple of God?

This is blasphemous on multiple levels.

You truly are a lost sheep.

Somebody asnwer me.

I am not just an admirer of the divine nature.
I am a PARTAKER of the divine nature.

How can I be a "partaker of the divine nature" (2 Pet. 1:4) but the divine nature not be in my possession?

Come and argue with me Christainity.

How can we Christians be "partakers of the divine nature" (2 Pet. 1:4) and the divine nature not be in our possession ?
