My 20 doubts
The spiritual nature of the true children of God is shown through their words and actions.
Jesus is the word of God, the Father sent into the world; as the breath of God the Father, blown from the Highest Throne through the person of God the Holy Spirit.
Jesus was made flesh, came into being and humbled Himself by taking the same form as the humans whom He had created.
The same is true of all who are born of the Holy Spirit. They are born children of the Most High, although in the same body in which they came into this world. Their exterior is the same but, internally, lives a celestial creature.
The spiritual nature of the true children of God is shown through their words and actions. As it is written:
Those born of God are formed by the One who comes from Above. Those who are formed from Above are born above and are superior to those born on Earth:
“He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all. And what He has seen and heard, that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony. He who has received His testimony has certified that God is true.” John 3.31-33
The text above can be read the following ways:
The One who comes from above is more important than all.
Whoever comes from the earth is earthly and speaks of earthly things.
He who comes from Heaven is celestial and speaks of things which He saw and heard from God, but no one accepts His message. However, whoever accepts His message becomes a witness to the greatness of God.
The true children of God are born of the Spirit of God. They are born of the Most High, therefore they are born from Above.
Their words and actions are in accordance with the words and actions that come from Above. Their conversations and behaviours are different from those of the world.
