 Good morning everyone and welcome to our class. Welcome to our online students and our e-learning students as well. We will see this lecture later on. We will begin with a word of praise. So can I ask Nina Satosh and Elina some praise please? Thank you. So last week, last Wednesday, we began the last chapter. We had the Son of God and we looked at what scripture would be as the Son of God was even before the foundations of the earth, even before the beginning. So we saw that the Son of God, God himself, as scripture will be, was there even before the foundations of the earth, even before the beginning. He was, you know, what are some of the characteristics of this God, what are some of the characteristics we look at? Eternals, self-existence, infinites, Triumph of God, the Beast of Lamb of God, the Beast of Truth, you know, the Beast of All and All, the I Am and the Alpha and the Beta. And we looked at the scripture in footage where we saw that, you know, the I Am stood at the beginning and also at the end and declared everything from the beginning to the end. So he was there at the beginning and he also stood at the same time at the end and declared everything from the beginning to the end. And so in the mind of God, he said everything was completed, all of the works that he had planned, that he saw, he thought, for days and everything was completed and done, even before it started, even before time began, even before the foundations of the earth was laid. So he started everything and everything was completed, even before it began or began to unfold in history. And then we looked at what did this great I Am complete even before it began to unfold in history. Remember, there are various things that I am completed even before it began to unfold in history. So what are some of the things that, you know, this great I Am completed in his mind even before we see the history? What are some of the things? Well, I am not taking down any notes because I said this is, these are not there in your notes, you need to read now on this last week. Nobody is taking down any notes. What is the great I Am complete even before it began to unfold in history? Okay, he adopted us as sons and daughters. He chose us to be part of his family, for people to be his sons and daughters. He also chose us to be part of a family who would love him. Okay, the students are saying that I am audible, but it's not very clear. Anything that you can help? Okay, can you hear me clearly now? My clearer, my clearer now. Okay, now is it clear? Okay, now is it clear? Sorry, we're doing mic testing, sound testing actually, not mic. Okay, now they're saying yes. Okay, thank you. Good to have somebody who is computer literate. Okay, so we just basically began by looking at doing a recap of what we studied last week. So we said that we began studying the Son of God and we looked at what scriptures revealed to us who this God was even before the beginning of time, even before the foundations of the earth were slayed. We see that he was eternal, self-existent, he was a triune God, infinite, has all the wisdom, he is the all in all, the I Am and the Alpha and the Omega. And we looked at two important truths. We saw that the great I Am, he stood at the beginning and at the end at the same time and he declared everything in it. So he declared everything from the beginning to the end. He stood at the beginning and the end and he declared everything in it, which means that even before the beginning of this world, even before the foundations of the earth was slayed, even before time began, even before history started to unfold itself in the mind of God, everything that he had planned, he had foreordained, he foresaw, you know, was completed, was a done thing, all of his works was completed even before it started, it was finished and completed in the mind of God, even before it began in time and in history. So what did this great I Am complete even before, you know, it began to unfold in history? Okay, we looked at so many things last class. What are some of the things that this great I Am completed even before it began to unfold in history? So we had Rin say that he adopted us as his sons and daughters. We belong to, as sons and daughters, we belong to the family of God. So we are a family of people who would love and be loved by God himself. Okay. And also we saw that, you know, these are not that in your notes. And I mentioned that last week, so it would be nice if you could take down a note so that, you know, it'll just be helpful for you. Okay, he also decided that he will be our father, even before it began to unfold in history, he decided that he will be our father. And our names, you know, he already knew who would choose him as his Lord and Savior, who would believe in Jesus Christ, who would believe in the finished work of the cross, who would, you know, believe and choose salvation. And even before we were born on this earth, you know, our names were already written in the book of life. And we looked at the references in Revelation. And we also saw that he prepared a kingdom for us as his sons and daughters so that we can be part of that kingdom. We can establish that kingdom. We can rule and reign and extend that kingdom here on earth. And after he had planned all of these things, you know, we know that it was not something that, you know, since after he created us and Adam and Eve sinned, then God is saying, Oh, no, what do we do now? You know, a man has sinned. So what is the plan of action? No, it was even before God created Adam and Eve, you know, they knew that the choices that each one of us will make, they knew the choice that Eve will make, Adam will make, and that sin will enter the world. And we saw that, you know, the Son of God, the second person of the Trinity, you know, Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God said he will become that lamb who will make that full sufficient, perfect sacrifice who would redeem mankind from this earth. And we also know that the third person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit said he would, you know, enable, anoint, empower Jesus Christ, the Son of God to complete, to finish the stars that he has taken on, and also, you know, to raise him back from death to life. Okay. And also that he would be that spirit who would fill us, would empower us, would guide us, would teach us, and would remind us that we are children of God, that we are sons and daughters of God. So everything was completed and done in the heart and the mind of God even before it began. And then was the beginning. Okay. So then was the beginning. And then we saw how God created everything. He spoke things into existence. And we see that the triune God worked together in creation to bring about everything. And also that God created man, he created man in his image, and how mankind fell into sin, and they went away from God. But God through his laws, through his prophets, through the judges tried to bring back his people back to himself. And at the full appointed Kairos moment, we know that the eternal Word, the Son of God became incarnate, became man. And then we start by where we looked at the first man. Who was the first man? Adam. Okay, the first man sinned. The first man lost the glory of God lost everything that the authority, every power that was vested on him by God himself and became a slave of sin and Satan. And we see that the second man or the second man or the last Adam, who is that referred to as Jesus Christ? You know, the first man, the first Adam is referred to as, you know, mankind or Adam. The second man or the last Adam is referred to as Jesus Christ. And we see that the second man, who is Jesus Christ, you know, he was obeyed man lost. Means everything that was lost, everything that God had entrusted to us, our authority, our power, our position, the glory, we were dead in our spirit man, everything was restored back to us, was recovered by the Son of God, who was the second man, the last Adam, because of what he did on the cross. Okay, so that is where we stopped last week. Anyone has any questions? But we saw the first Adam, the last Adam, the first man, the second man, the natural man again referring to Adam and the heavenly man that is referring to Jesus Christ. Okay, so how does the second man or the last Adam recovered everything for us? Any questions so far? Okay, so we look at what the Son of God did after he came down to the earth. The Son of God reveals the Father to us, which is going through everything that we have studied. Okay, we've already looked at this. That's the Son of God reveals the Father to us. We studied John chapter one was one, John chapter one was 14, John chapter one was 18. Can someone of you please read John chapter one was 18, please? John one was 18. John one 18. No one has seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him. Yes, so we studied this that God, who is the only begotten Son, who was in the bosom of the Father, which means was very intimate with the Father, very close to Father. He has revealed the Father heart of God to us. He has revealed who God is, his nature, his attributes, his plan, his purposes, even as the Son of God became incarnate. And we also studied in that, you know, Jesus Christ was the exact image of the Father. He just looked exactly like the Father in the terms of, you know, the nature of the Father, the attributes of the Father. You know, in John chapter 14, verses eight and nine, when Philip asked Jesus, Lord, show us the Father and it is sufficient for us. And what does Jesus tell him in verse nine of John chapter 14? Can you read that, Sri Radha? Jesus answered, don't you know me, Philip? Even after I have been among you such a long time, anyone who has seen me, has seen the Father. How can you say show us the Father? Yes. So what is Jesus saying here? Can you pass the mic on to the next person? Says that, you know, whoever has seen me has seen the Father, which means that, you know, he's the exact representation of the Father in terms of his nature, in terms of his attributes, what God does. Everything can be seen in the Son of God. We also saw, we studied Colossians chapter one verse 15, that Jesus is the image of the invisible God. He's a firstborn over all creation. Firstborn over all creation means what? Firstborn is Adam considered as a firstborn, but in terms of firstborn in the spirit. A person who is fully man, Jesus Christ was fully man, but dead rose again and the firstborn to rise from the dead. He also, we see that, you know, the Son of God walked very intimately, very close with the Father. He was very intimate with the presence of the Father. He always, you know, spent time with the Father. John chapter one verse 18 says that no one has seen God. Okay. Only the only begotten Son who was in the bosom of the Father has declared him to us. No one can see God, but how do we know who God is by looking at the Son, the Son who became incarnate, who was in the bosom of the Father, who was means he was there with the Father, very close, intimate with the Father and he has become incarnate and he has revealed the heart of God to us or he has declared or made known the Father's nature, his heart and his attributes to us. Okay. John chapter 10 verse 15 says as the Father knows me even so I know the Father and I lay down my life for the she. Okay. So Jesus is saying the Father knows me just like I know the Father. So very intimate close relationship with the Father and the Son. We also see that the Son of God rested in the Father's love. He was, you know, confident in the Father's love. That is why he did not depend on human love. Even when people failed him, even when people rejected him, even when people, the same crowd that sang with Anna to the King of Kings was the same crowd that said crucify him, the same disciples who were there with him and said they will never leave him. But the ones who said we don't know who this man is, but you know, the Jesus always rested in the Father's love. Okay. We read this in John chapter 3 verse 35. So one of you can please read John chapter 3 verse 35 and someone else can read John chapter 17 verse 24. The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand. John chapter 3 verse 35 says the Father loves the Son and given all things into his hand. John chapter 17 verse 24. John chapter 17 verse 24. Father, I desire that they also whom you gave me may be with me where I am, that they may behold my glory which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world. Amen. So here we see that it was the God's desire that, you know, or Jesus's desire as God that we also, you know, rest in the Father's love and that we also, you know, share in his sonship glory. Okay. We read in scripture and we know that the Son of God walked in obedience to the Father. Okay. John chapter 4 verse 34 and Hebrews chapter 10 verse 7 and 9. So one of you can please read John chapter 4 verse 34 and someone else can read Hebrews 10, 7 and 9. John chapter 4 verse 34. Jesus said to them, my food is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. Okay. Jesus said, my food is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. Okay. Which means here it is to do God's will to obey him. And, you know, even though it might not be easy, it might be difficult, but, you know, he wants to do what the Father's will is and to finish the work that he has entrusted or committed to Jesus Christ. Hebrews 10 verses 7 and 9, please. Can you please read it clearly and loud so that even our other students can understand? Hebrews chapter 10 verse 7. Then I said, here I am, it is written about me in the scroll. I have come to do your will God. Verse 9. Then he said, here I am, I have come to do your will. He sets aside the first to establish the second. Amen. So here it's quoting Old Testament scripture, which is prophesied about the Messiah. And Jesus is saying, you know, I have come to do the will of God. So what are we learning? Basically, we're learning about the Son of God, but we are also seeing that the Son of God was God himself, you know, who became incarnate even as he was fully God and fully man. But yet he limited himself to human frailties, to human weaknesses. But even in our human frailties, even in our human weaknesses, we see that he reveals the Father to us in his nature and his attributes. That means Jesus was setting a standard. Jesus was setting a model that, hey, even though I was 100% man, fully man, you know, I came here on the earth and I was obedient to the Father's will, which means those of us who believe in him should also be obedient to do what the Father's will is. And even as he's given us the privilege, the honor of receiving the glory of God, it's not just, you know, to just receive that glory of God and be happy. But you know, Jesus, even as he had that sonship glory, he used it to, you know, preach the good news to poor, to make the blind see, to make the deaf hear, to set the captives free and those in prison and those in bondage to give them liberty and freedom. Okay. And because he was anointed by the Holy Spirit. So Jesus is setting us an example saying, hey, you also have received the same anointing that was on me. You have received the same sonship glory, which means you also need to preach the good news to the poor, which means not just the poor, you know, poor in spirit. Those who are dead in spirit. Those who are, you know, basically those who are non believers and also to heal the sick, to raise the dead, to make the blind see and to set those in bondage and in captivity free. So even as we're looking at the characteristics and the nature of the Son of God, it does not mean, okay, this is the nature and the characteristic of Son of God. Very good. But also it is, you know, speaking to us that, hey, and the Son of God was fully manual. He did this. We as his sons and daughters, we were adopted into his family. We will belong to his family. We were also spiritually seated at the right hand of God, the Father alongside Jesus Christ. We are also to do the same works as what Jesus did here on the earth. And we are not exempted by giving excuses that we have our weaknesses. We have our temptations. We have our friendlies. But Jesus was weak in every way, just as we were. He was tempted in every way, but he overcame temptation. We can also, you know, he did not yield to sin. He was still sinless. We could also be considered ourselves dead to sin. We have the power, the resurrection power that gives us the power to overcome sin. And also when Jesus was intimate with the Father, it's a calling for us also to be intimate with the Godhead, with God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, just as Jesus was intimate in the presence of the Father and made known the Father to us. So also we as sons and daughters, we are to reveal the Father, heart of God, or the nature and the attributes of God to people. So even as we're looking at the characteristics of the Son of God, we're not just studying what scripture says about the Son of God, but we also need to make it applicable in our own lives. Okay. So Jesus was, we saw that Jesus in the exact image of the Father, which means when people look at us, they have to see the glory of God on us, because we have that sonship, glory, just like Jesus had. We are here representing our Father because we are His children. So everything that we do, we need to be mindful of what we say, how we act, how we react because we are always representing the Father and we are representing Him to them, world and to those around us. And also in times of difficulties, in times of hardships, when you feel that no one else understands, cares or loves, we need to know that God the Father loves us. We need to rest in the Father's love just as Jesus rested in the Father's love, because resting in the Father's love gives us the assurance, gives us the confidence to face life, to face challenges, to pursue the calling, the purpose that God has on our lives. Sometimes it's very easy to step out of our calling and purpose because Satan has said, we'll say, hey, look at how much you've done for God. All the time you're getting criticisms, negativity, you are not. There's no growth, you are suffering. Look at your health, look at your finances. People who are working in corporates or people working in the world, they are doing better, so just leave ministry, go and get a better job so you can have a better life. What has God done for all that you have sacrificed? Nothing. So all of these thoughts can play in your mind, can run in your mind, it's not worth it, but we always need to rest in God's love. We need to always fill our hearts, be assured of God's love because it is God's love that will help us to persevere and endure in our race and finish the race, and that is what Paul did. Paul, even as he was in prison, he writes to Timothy in 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, he writes to Titus and he says, because I'm in chains, all of these people, he names the people, he says, these people who knew me, who are my co-labors, co-workers with me have abandoned me because they're scared that if they say, hey, they're part of Paul's ministry, they would also be put into jail because Nero, the king of Rome, was persecuting Christians and they would also be persecuted, they would be also martyred. So that is why Paul writes and says, I'm not ashamed to be in chains for the sake of the gospel. So what made Paul to persevere, even though he saw people leave him, what made Jesus to persevere and to endure the cross? It was because he rested in the Father's love. So even as we're learning all of these things, let it become a reality and something very personal in our own life. So we saw that the Son of God walked in obedience to the Father. We also saw that the Son of God walked in the power of the Holy Spirit. We know that everything that Jesus said was to be anointing to the power of the Holy Spirit because he sees to be omnipotent. He sees or refrained from using his omnipotence, his omnipresence and his omnipresence. He sees and refrained from using it even though he was fully God, even though he was deity, he refrained and sees from using it. But how did he do these mighty science miracles and wonders? It was through the power of the Holy Spirit and we also studied that. We looked at Acts chapter 10 verse 38. We saw how, where it says that how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power who went about doing good and delivering all those who were oppressed by the devil because God was with him. Acts chapter 10 verse 38. Romans chapter 1 verse 4. You want to read Acts chapter 10 verse 38? Okay, read. Acts chapter 13. How good, how good anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with the power who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil for God was with him. Romans chapter, thank you. Amen to that. Romans 1 verse 4. Can one of you please read Romans 1 verse 4 please. Romans 1 verse 4. And declared to be the Son of God with the power according to the spirit of holiness by the resurrection from the dead. Okay, so here we see that the Son of God was empowered by the spirit of holiness. That means the Holy Spirit. Okay, because he's a spirit of holiness. And we also read Acts chapter 10 verse 38. So even as the Son of God was empowered to do science, miracles and wonders and preach and teach the power of the Holy Spirit, we also have the same power, the dunamis power available to in us. The Son of God we see that also destroyed the works of the devil. Okay, 1 John chapter 3 verse 8. And when we see that even when the demons saw him, they trembled. Matthew chapter 8 was 29. So one of you please read 1 John 3, 8. Someone else can read Matthew 8, 29. And someone else can read Mark chapter 3 verse 11. 1 John chapter 3 verse 8. He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For his purpose, the Son of God was manifested that he might destroy the work of the devil. Yes, so here we see that the purpose of the Son of God was manifested that he might destroy the works of the devil. Okay, we also see that the demons trembled before Jesus. Matthew 8, 29. Matthew 8, 29. And someone else can read Mark chapter 3 verse 11. Matthew 8, 29. And suddenly they cried out saying, what have we to do with you Jesus, you Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time? Okay, so here we see that the demons, the devil crying out, what have we to do with you Jesus Son of God? Have you come to torment us? And we read in Mark chapter 3 verse 11 where he tossed out unclean spirits. You know, the unclean spirits whenever they saw him, they fell down before him and cried out saying, you are the Son of God. Okay, so the unclean spirits, the demons were so scared of him that the moment they just saw him, you know, they just fell down before him and they cried out saying, you are the Son of God. We also see that the Son of God, you know, which stood every temptation. Okay, when Satan questioned Jesus about his sonship in Matthew chapter 4, verse 3 and verse 6, and he says, if you are the Son of God, Satan said, come on these stones to become bread. Okay, and we see that, you know, Jesus and he said to him, if you are the Son of God in verse 6, throw yourself down for it is written, he shall give his angels charge over you and in their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone. So we see that even Satan tempted him, you know, and questioned him whether he was the Son of God, but Jesus overcame that temptation and did not yield to Satan. And we see that Jesus himself declares that he is the Son of God in John chapter 10, verse 36 and Luke chapter 22, verse 70. John chapter 10, verse 36 and Luke chapter 22, verse 70. Are you saying of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world? Can you read a little more loudly and clearly, please? Thank you. Are you saying of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world? You are blaspheming because I said, I am the Son of God. Yeah, so Jesus said, I am the Son of God in Luke 10, verse 36, Luke 22, verse 70. Luke 22, verse 17. Then he took the cup and gave thanks and said, take this and divide it among yourselves. Is that Luke 22, verse 17? Yeah, Luke 22, verse 17. 7-0. Sorry, it sounded like 17. Luke chapter 22, verse 17. Then they all said, are you then the Son of God? So he said to them, you rightly say that I am. So Jesus himself declares that he is the Son of God, not only Jesus, but the disciples, you know, through the revelation that was given to them in Matthew chapter 16, when Jesus served in verses 15 to 17, when Jesus asked them, who do you say that I am? He asked his disciples, right? And Simon Peter says, you are the Christ, the Son of the living God. You are the Christ, Son of the living God. What does Jesus tell him? Flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. So he knows that it was through divine revelation. So we see that even as disciples, you know, a test or confirm or declare that he is the Son of God, okay? And we see that Jesus completed the work of redemption. That was, you know, in the mind of God was completed thing. Even before the foundation of the world, he died on the cross. He paid for our sins. He completed the work of redemption. And, you know, because he paid that, you know, full penalty for our sins, he made that full sufficient sacrifice. God the Father, you know, rose him up from the dead. He rose from the dead on the third day. So we see that he completed, Jesus Christ completed the work of redemption and he was raised back from death to life, okay? And we see that he was not just raised back from death to life, but he was also exalted and glorified with the Father and with the Holy Spirit. And we just looked at it in the previous lesson, okay? How he was glorified and how he was exalted back to his original position. And he was back to where he came from. He was back to where he belonged, where he was there, even before the foundation of the world that was with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit, okay? So having studied all about the Son of God, you know, how does it affect you and me? You know, what does it imply to me and you? And what should be our response? What do you think should be our response? How does this imply to each one of us? How does it affect us? All that we studied about the Son of God? How does it affect us? What does it imply for us? What should be our response? Online students, any responses? Can you take the mic, please? What should be our response to all that we have studied so far? How Jesus said, like we can apply, if anyone asked, like, who's your father? Jesus said, if you look me, you look Father. And we can apply ourselves. If you look as, if you look me and you, then you saw Jesus also. So we can apply this and we can show through words, through what Jesus did, through that things. We can also apply this. Through our work, through our works, through our life, we can show the Father. We can represent the glory of God, walking in the sonship glory that we have in Christ Jesus. Walk in the sonship glory, manifest the sonship glory. What should be our primary response to all that the Son of God has done? Firstly, we need to believe. Believe in what the Son of God has done for us. We need to believe in what He has done for us. Everything that God did for us, why did He do it for us? He loves us. Yes. So that is a primary basis for why He's doing what He's doing in our lives even now. So the first response should be that we should believe in Him and that we should also love Him just as He loves us and show our love in various aspects of our life to Him. You know, when we believe in Him, what do we receive? I know we receive a whole lot of things but, you know, what is the primary thing or the eternal hope that we have? The eternal life, yes. When we believe in Him, we have eternal life as a result of that eternal life. We experience all of that blessings of that eternal life in part here and now and in the future when we meet Jesus face to face. John 3 verse 18 says that He who believes in Him is not condemned but He who does not believe in Him is condemned because He is not believed in the name of the only begotten, Son. And 1 John 5 verse 12 says, He who has the Son has life. He who does not have the Son does not have life. And once we believe we have eternal life and what else should we do? We need to walk in that life by faith. By faith we walk in the blessings and what the Son of God has done for us. It also implies that when we believe in Him, when we have eternal life, we are in union with the Son of God. 1 John chapter 4 verse 14 says that whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God abides in Him and He in God. So when we believe in Jesus Christ, believe in what He has done, we have union with God through the Son of God. We are also part of His kingdom. We become His sons and daughters. And then His plan begins to unfold in our lives. The plans that He had even before the foundation of the world, even before we came into existence, the plans and the purposes that He has for us begins to unfold in and through our lives. And we become overcomers. We have the power to overcome everything that Satan has put us under, that sin has put us under. 1 John chapter 5 verse 5. Can one of you please read that? 1 John chapter 5 verse 5. 1 John chapter 5 verse 5. Who is He who overcomes the world? But He who believes that Jesus is the Son of God. Yes, so who overcomes the world? The one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God. So you can overcome the world, means you can overcome the power of sin, overcome the power of Satan, being slaves to Satan, because you believe in the Son of God. And Nina John says that we grow to become like Him. Yes, we grow to become like Him because we are sons and daughters of God. The Son of God was the prototype for the sons and daughters. Prototype means what? Jesus Christ was a prototype for us who are the sons and daughters of God. Prototype means, you know, an example, sample first of its kind. So Jesus Christ was the first of His kind. He was an example. He was a sample of who we should be and how we should be as sons and daughters of God. So He was the prototype. The Son of God was a prototype for us who are the sons and daughters of God, which means that He was the first of the kind. He was an example. He was a sample. Okay. He was an last Adam and the second man. And He was an example to us about how we can be or we should be, how we should live our lives as sons and daughters of God. So when we say that the Son of God was a prototype for the sons and daughters of God, God is saying that it was His plan for us, even before we were created, it was His plan for us to be conformed to the image of His Son, to be like His Son. So this was the plan of God even before the beginning of the world. And this is His plan even today. That is why we are continuously being sanctified. We are continuously being made in the image and likeness of Christ. We're becoming more like Christ. We read this verse in Romans chapter 8 verse 29, but it's good to read that again. Romans chapter 8 verse 29. Can one of you read that? Romans chapter 8 verse 29. For those God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of His Son, that He might be the first born among many brothers. Amen. So He says, for whom He foreknew, for whom God foreknew means even before the foundation of the world, who He knew would choose God, would believe in what Jesus has done on the cross. He's already predestined us to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the first born of many brethren. Like we can be like Jesus Christ, who was the first of His kind, the prototype. So even before the foundation of the world, it was God's plan that those who believe in Jesus Christ would be conformed to His image. So one of our purposes that God has created for us, God has a specific plan and a purpose for us, and God has a general plan and purpose for us. The general plan and purpose is what? To preach His word, to teach His word, and to extend His kingdom and also to be conformed to the image of His Son. So He wants us to be like the last Adam. He wants us to be like the heavenly man here on earth, manifesting who God is here on earth. And we are also being made hairs of God and joined hairs with Jesus Christ. We know that it was God's plan, even before the foundation of this world, that we be His sons and daughters and we see that being fulfilled now. We see that we are hairs of God. God planned that even before the beginning, He planned that we become His hairs and that we be joined hairs with Jesus Christ and we see that as being fulfilled in and through our lives, in and through the body of Christ, even through the saints or the church. This is being fulfilled. We know that even before the foundation of the world, God had in His mind to establish His kingdom here on earth and who has been given the keys of authority? Who has been given the keys of authority now? Us, the church has been given the keys of the authority and we are here to build God's kingdom. We are here to extend God's kingdom and ensure His kingdom here on earth. We stop here, we take a break and then we'll come back and continue.
