Coming to be like God

Our Lord's God

Well-known member
By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the Day of Judgment because as He is so also are we in this world.
1 John 4:17

If we have been born of God then He is our own Father just as God was Jesus' own Father. Men wanted to kill him for that.

Our Father wants His children to be like Him and to be as He is. They know they are His children because His Spirit testifies to our spirit that they are children of God, His own children, those begotten of Him. If they are begotten of God they, like Jesus, are out of God.

4 You are out of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. 5 They are of the world; therefore they speak as from the world, and the world listens to them. 6 We are out of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not from God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. 1 John 4:4-6

If we are born of God, He gives us His Spirit so that we can personally know Him and totally comprehend what He is like, His character, His ways, His will, His Love. And His Spirit teaches us exactly what the Father is like. Such as the power of His love. And so we walk by His Spirit. And if we walk by His Spirit we become as He is and become like our Father. But God only gives His Spirit to those who obey Him.

If His Spirit is truly in you, then you have no need to ask what Heaven is like because the reality Heaven is abiding in you and you already know. And you also know that you are already there in Heaven just as much as you are here in the world because you have been born of God by His Spirit and Heaven has been opened to you. The natural man simply cannot comprehend this but the children of God do know they are truly there in Heaven right now seated with Christ in the heavenlies since their Father's Spirit makes that reality known to them.

This is how Jesus walked and became like his God and Father. He walked by the Spirit of his God and did only what the Father abiding in Him wanted Him to do. We are to walk as Jesus walked following in his footsteps. Eternal life is to become as our Father is and He gives us His Spirit so that we might know what He is like and how to become like Him.

To know the only true God, the God of Jesus, is eternal life. And we only come to know Him if we become as He is and we only become as He is by giving as He gives. Love concerns itself with giving and has no interest in getting.

But men reject becoming as the Father is because they want something else. They delude themselves into believing they can add God's salvation to their collection of worldly things. For them it's all about the getting not the giving. And they want to get His salvation and add it to their worldly collection. Such men cannot have God's salvation because God and His salvation are not things they can add to their worldly possessions. And so these men love the world and hate the children of God, those born of Him.

We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. 1 John 4:16

1 John 4:17
13 This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit.
14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.
15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God.
16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.
17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. 1 John 4

He who knows God hears us; he who is not from God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. 1 John 4:4-6
But every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. 1 John 4:3
The natural man simply cannot comprehend this but the children of God do know they are truly there in Heaven right now seated with Christ in the heavenlies since their Father's Spirit makes that reality known to them.
Spiritual Blessing In Christ Jesus
17 May the Father of Glory grant you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, that comes through Christ Jesus.
18 That the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people,
19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength
20 he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms,
21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.
22 And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church,
23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way. Eph 1:17-23

You often hear the unbeliever hem hawing but it's not as though they have another option.
Jesus is the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone. Salvation is found in no one else; Acts 4:11-12
They stumble because they disobey the word; But you, who believe are God's people, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 1 Peter 2:8-9
 
13 This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit.
Amen but to some that would be evil gnosticism to think you can be like Him as Jesus was like Him by the same mind be in you who was in Christ Jesus.
14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.
He is savior only if one will follow him to the One who saved him in Matt 3:16.
15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God.
Most think he wasn't son of God but a god himself.
16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.
What -- God is Love? That isn't possible for those who see the God who is a Spirit and that Spirit is Love and man is the temple of Him, as gnostic lies.
17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. 1 John 4
This is how Lopve is manifest in us, Matt 3:16. This is how Love was manifest in Jesus. God is Love right? No wait, that is gnostic lies for you isn't it?
You often hear the unbeliever hem hawing but it's not as though they have another option.
For sure they cant comprehend receiving from God as Jesus did for in your opinions to be like Him is gnostic lies isn't it?
Jesus is the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone. Salvation is found in no one else; Acts 4:11-12
The one you reject for to you his ways to be like him in the Father is gnostic lies.
They stumble because they disobey the word;
Bingo, you have no intent in being perfect even as your Father in heaven is perfect, for to you that is evil gnosticism isn't it?
You have no intent in walking as He walks in His same light as Jesus did, for that is impossible gnosticism for you.
You have no intent for the same signs follow you who followed Jesus, for in that would be gnosticism for you.

But you, who believe are God's people, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 1 Peter 2:8-9

Many here insist upon living in delusions of their own making.

Don't waste too much of your time on them.

keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life. Jude 1:21

I already told you blind gnostics that Jesus is the Savior of all mankind.
Jesus is the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone. Salvation is found in no one else. Acts 4:11-12
They stumble because they reject the Word, 1 Peter 2:8

I never see being that witness of God that Jesus was witness of as a waste of time. I will hang with these until they see God or put me on ignore like they tried to do with Jesus in crucifixion. Im very tenacious in that respect for I understand them I once was as these until the same came from God in me Who came to Jesus in Matt 3:16 and opens up His truths.

The truth of these is from their own making and I cant walk away from the truth God puts in man, especially Jesus.

For this is the witness of God which He has testified of His Son: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 1 John 5

Amen, I am His son and testifies of me, and when you see Him as He is ye shall be like Him as well. 1 John 3.

He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him. John 3:36

Amen and I am His son, you are supposed to be as well but you are not are you?
He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him. John 3:36
He who is His son has the same everlasting life as Jesus and others had who received from God that what Jesus did in Matt 3:16.

You do not believe the son for to you His ways is gnostic lies.
 
Amen and I am His son, you are supposed to be as well but you are not are you? You do not believe the son for to you His ways is gnostic lies.
Do not be yoked together with gnostics. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common?
Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 2 Cor 6
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord Jesus.
Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness...
This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ Jesus will shine on you.” Eph 5:8-14

Yes and the gnostic beliefs that Jesus had of Gods Spirit be in man that man is th etempl of God that gnostics believe is evil because of your agnostic religious mind.
Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 2 Cor 6
Cant have light without dark and cant have dark without light. you just never been in the light to know what that light is.
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord Jesus.
You are still in that agnostic darkness.
Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness...
You cradle it.
This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ Jesus will shine on you.” Eph 5:8-14
Christ would come to you as He did in Jesus in Matt 3: 16 where he became Gods anointed one. He will o the same in you but you refuse to receive Him is all. You are without and walk in the darkness of Paul as a sinner instead of the light of Christ who perfects us as He perfected Jesus.
 
Cant have light without dark and cant have dark without light. you just never been in the light to know what that light is.

You are still in that agnostic darkness. You cradle it.
You blind gnostics are full of hot air.
Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone, rejected indeed by gnostics
They stumble, because they do not believe the gospel of Jesus Christ.
But you, who believe are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people, that you
may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 1 Peter 2
 
You blind gnostics are full of hot air.
You keep saying that of Christ for sure.
Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone, rejected indeed by gnostics
The one that you reject in favor of accuse Him as a gnostic liar.
They stumble, because they do not believe the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Amen to you His ways is gnostic lies.
But you, who believe are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people, that you

Actually we who has received not just believed, are His royal priests, kings, Gods own people and walk in the light as He is in the light with the same signs following. But some here see His ways as gnostic lies dont they?

There is nothing reliable that comes out of your gnostic mouth.

Jesus is the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’12 Salvation is found in no one else, Acts 4
Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. 1 John 5:12
 
There is nothing reliable that comes out of your gnostic mouth.
I know, the same was said of Jesus for the very same reason.
Jesus is the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’12 Salvation is found in no one else, Acts 4
You dont follow Jesus LOL to you his ways to be like Him in the Father as he keeps preaching to you is gnostic lies.
Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. 1 John 5:12
I am His son and I do have His life and walk in it as He walks in it with the same signs following.

But for you to do the same you would have to drop your preaching to God and Jesus that His ways is gnostic lies.

They stumble because the refuse to believe the word - Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 2:8
I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe in Me, you will indeed die in your sins. John 8:24

Yes to these his ways to be like him is gnostic lies.

I told you that you would die in your sins;
You will indeed as long as you are the sinner and not the righteousness of God in Gods anointing, Christ in you.
if you do not believe in Me, you will indeed die in your sins. John 8:24
Yes and because to you His ways is gnostic lies, you are doomed for sure.
