God’s World Family From Above is Born

And now, the Solution to the Crave: God’s Home, His dwelling, in regenerated people. Mammals with a missing part can LIVE from “the Other tree in the Garden.” What we needed from the Beginning is a DNA change, not a binky religion with “opiate of the people” on the nipple. The snake offered one, while Abba offers the other.

To the entire family of the First Adam, the offer is extended. First to Cornelius and his household, shocking Peter and his brothers. How could that be?! I thought we were “the guys”?! But God’s Plan was always “for God so loved the WORLD”—Life miraculously offered to All born of the First Adam.

Cornelius was sincerely reaching for God—praying, giving generously to those in need, and responding to what he knew of God.

And God SAW him.

And God brought Peter, the messenger, to Cornelius and his household, who were to become the first Evidence of the New long-Promised Covenant of Spirit-DNA for all with the FAITH of Abraham. (God can raise up “biology” of Abraham “out of a rock.” Physical lineage is not the Plan.)

The story goes…

Now Cornelius was waiting for them, and had called together his relatives and close friends. As Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him and fell down at his feet and worshiped him. But Peter lifted him up, saying, “Stand up; I myself am also a man.”

Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right. You know the message God sent to the people of Israel, announcing the good news of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all. You know what has happened throughout the province of Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached—how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.

“And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, as upon us at the beginning. Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, ‘John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ If therefore God gave them the same gift as He gave us when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could withstand God?”

When they heard these things they became silent; and they glorified God, saying, “Then God has also granted to the non-Jews repentance, 180-degree turning, to Eternity-Life.”

The New Deal between God and Man, through Jesus Christ, the Second Adam: mammal-humans with an empty place can now share God-Life. How? By “the same Trust in God that Abraham exhibited.” “Saving faith.”

The “saving faith” Abraham demonstrated was worship, leaving his idols, leaving his biological home for the unknown when he was asked to do so, offering his son Isaac on the altar, and his refusal to allow “the king of Sodom to make him rich.”

Simply put, that is who Abraham WAS, not what he did. It was his trust, his faith, not his actions per se that made him a man to whom God could entrust the future.

Having given ourselves over with the faith of Abraham, “God’s Deal” is that Jesus “becomes sin for us, that we may become His righteousness,” and then the downpayment gift of Indwelling Christ.

Heaven-DNA mixed with the “old man” mammal DNA in mere humans. What a trip!

This was always God’s Plan. It was prophesied reliably multiple times over 4 centuries, as early as seven hundred years before Jesus came as the Second Adam. And clearly this was not ever intended to be a “new world religion” with new rituals and sacraments and holy men and holy days. But NEW DNA from Heaven for those with the actual “faith of Abraham,” rather than adherence to a belief system, per se.
