What distinguishes us from the rest of the world?

What makes us Children of God?

We're called to not dispute, grumble, or complain but to “be blameless and innocent” as the very “children of God without blemish,” thanks to Jesus Christ. We are called to “shine as lights in the world” so that others who now sit in darkness might see our good behavior that gives glory to our Father in heaven.

Throughout the New Testament, the followers of Christ are called to shine as light in the darkness, to love one another, and to forgive those who treat us wrongly because we are to represent God and Christ in us. For if we love only those who treat us right what reward is there for that? Since we live in a dark world, full of lies, hate and confusion, as the true sons of God, we should not participate in the ways of this world.

(Philippians 2:15) Shine as lights in the world.

(Matthew 5:14) Ye are the light of the world.

(Matthew 5:16) Let your light so shine before men, that. they may see your good works, and. glorify your Father which is in heaven.

(Philippians 2:13) For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. 14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings: 15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world.

(Ezekiel 14:22, 23) Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth, both sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth unto you, and ye shall see their way and their doings: and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought upon it. 23 And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their doings: and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord God.

It is written! (Matthew 7:16) "By their fruit ye shall know them". Meaning that your character represents whose spirit is in you.

What are the fruits of the Holy Spirit? Is "hate" one of them? God forbid! You can not enter God's Kingdom and represent God's true sons if you have a stony heart.

The Mark of God vs The Mark of The Beast

Who have the Mark of God? Those that do not rejoice when they see others suffer, especially those that have tormented them. SEE: Ezekiel 9:4 "those who sigh and cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof."

Who have the Mark of the Beast? Those that "rejoice and celebrate when they see the suffering and death of those who tormented them, as the two witnesses of Revelation. SEE: Revelation 11:10

(Ezekiel 36:26, 27) A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.

But first we need to get out of Babylon The Great (man made religions that confuse and divide us) by not following after the ways and traditions of this world. But first we need to confess our sins to God, repent, and ask God for forgiveness. SEE: Matthew 23

(John 1:11-13) 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.

This is why Jesus said many times "You must be born again from above!" so you will be able to renew the spirit in you by allowing God's Holy Spirit to teach you all things from the beginning. Not according to the wisdom of this world, but according to heavenly wisdom from above.

(John 3:6) Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.

(Ephesians 2:5) Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved ;) 6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

Why did God preserve the life of Cain?

Why did God preserved the life of Cain and said "whoever harms him will suffer vengeance seven times over", in Genesis 4:15?

Because Cain carried in him the seed from the fruit of The tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil that was passed down to him and Abel through their parents, Adam and Eve.

We too came into this world with that same seed in us, and it is up to us to choose which one we want to cultivate and maintain. The choice we will make will determine if we are worthy to receive what the 1st Adam has lost. And thanks be to our loving Father in heaven who send us his own son to restore what the first Adam lost. The renewing of our spirit in us. The spirit that comes only from above, God's Holy Spirit (the breath and power of God that gives life eternal) which can only be received from above.

THIS IS THE TRUE MEANING OF "BEING BORN AGAIN FROM ABOVE"

Now, when we are Born Again from Above we renew the spirit (seed) in us and we become a new being in Christ by emptying ourselves from the traditions and rudiments of this world (from the seed of the fruit of Good and Evil that was passed down to us from Adam and Eve), so we will be able to receive God's Holy Spirit in us, by becoming like little children again in order to be taught God's ways from the beginning.

(1 John 3:1,2) 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.

How can we know for sure that when Christ appears we will see him as he is? The answer is already given to us in the same verse. "We shall be like him". Not in outward appearance, but by the fruit of God's Holy Spirit in us.

The scriptures gives us another clue, in (John 14:20) "At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you."

AT THAT DAY, refers to the day of your anointing. The day God's breath enters your soul.

(1 Corinthians 1:9,10) 9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. 10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

(Matthew 11:25-27) 25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. 26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. 27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

All thanks and praises go to our Father in heaven and to His son and our Lord Jesus Christ! Amen!
