The Incredible Gospel of Jesus
and
Humanity's Greatest Quest

     The word "gospel" appears almost 100 times in the New Testament. The word is translated from two similar Greek words, both meaning good news or message. In context, it is referred to as the gospel of Jesus, God, and the kingdom. It is called the everlasting, and the glorious gospel, the gospel of grace and peace, and is associated with mystery and faith. The Bible declares it will be proclaimed, or published to the entire world several times, and Jesus equated it with his own importance.
     The kingdom of God is the promise of Jesus to humanity and appears in New Testament scripture almost 150 times. The word kingdom is taken from the Greek word 'basileia', pronounced bas-il-i'-ah; properly, royalty, and is not a place as portrayed from the orthodox pulpit. The concept of a kingdom, long thought to be synonymous with the mythical place called "heaven", is actually sovereignty, a universal ascendancy, referring to the position of the highest order of beings in existence, the Elohiym, the Gods.
     The earthly actions Jesus, the son of El, and head of this universally royal family, will allow the incredible conversion of humans from a physical state, to full eternal inheritance. That inheritance will bring mankind into the majestic family of the Elohiym. The promise of inclusion into this imperial family of the most powerful race of beings in the universe is the only true path of entry into the "kingdom" of the Gods. This is the gospel, the good message Jesus died for, and announced to humanity. This is not only the greatest news ever heard by any human being, but it is the true destiny mankind has been pursuing for millennia.
♦  "For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power." (I Corinthians 4:20)

The Crown of Royalty
     The position of membership in a royal family always means the entire family is qualified for a crown. In Britain the royal family is even referred to as "The Crown". The Royal Family of God is no different.
♦  I Corinthians 9:25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
♦  Philippians 4:1 Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.
♦  I Thessalonians 2:19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
♦  II Timothy 4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
♦  James 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
♦  I Peter 5: 4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
♦  Revelation 2:10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
♦  Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

     The Bible speaks of a family in the sky and makes the announcement that humans will be adopted directly into that family. The family is spoken of by Paul in a letter to the saints at Ephesus:
♦  "For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named," (Ephesians 3:14 - 15 ).
     This concept that the family of God is in the sky, heaven, and on Earth as well is represented in an abundance of scriptural references. There are hundreds of verses referenced in this work on the presence of the Gods in the sky from both the Old and New Testaments, and the family on Earth, which is known as the church, is a major focus of the New Testament. Throughout the ministry of Jesus, and the Apostles, humans are called, sons, daughters, children, brethren, brothers, sisters, and offspring of God. They are said to be adopted as heirs with a shared inheritance earned by the firstborn of many begotten, to be born after him. These same humans are called chosen, the elect, and the saints of God, and they are to be physically changed into spiritual beings with status of crowned royalty in the monarchy of the Gods. Humans actually become a part of the household of God:
♦  "Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;" (Ephesians 2:19)
     Here we present hundreds of scriptural references to a direct family relationship between human beings and the immortal beings of the Bible:

Children of God
     The New Testament is replete with references to humans as children of God. They are called children of the Highest, the Father, the prophets, the promise, and the children of light. It says they are peacemakers, richly rewarded, immortal, equal to angels, have a glorious liberty, witnessed by the Spirit, and that all the people on Earth will be blessed by them.

Sons and Daughters of God
     In specific verification of a spiritual family relationship, the Bible addresses that kinship among the members of the church. Living human beings are called the sons and daughters of God with this verse leaving no doubt about the meaning:
♦  "He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son." (Revelation 21:7)
Sons and Daughters Verses: See Appendix B

Brothers, Sisters, and Brethren
     Further verification of a spiritual family relationship among the members of the church is shown by the way they address each other. The words 'brother' and 'sister' are used in the New Testament both to describe specific persons not directly related by human birth and, generically, to address members of the church as a whole. From the Acts of the Apostles to the Revelation, the word ‘brethren’ appears almost 200 times, referring to members of the church. Brotherly love and kindness are emphasized and the church is referred to as a 'brotherhood'. Jesus is described as the firstborn of many humans into the royal family of God,
♦  "For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son that he might be the firstborn among many brethren." (Romans 8:29)
Brothers, Sisters, and Brethren Verses: See Appendix C

Born, Begotten, Offspring, and Firstborn
     Entry into this royal family is from godly conception and spiritual birth. Humans are said to be born of God, of the Spirit, and from above. They are called newborn babes and in the same royal lineage as the firstborn, Jesus the Christ, and the true King of the entire planet. Humans are also called offspring of and begotten by God.
Born, Begotten, Offspring, and Firstborn Verses: See Appendix D

Inheritance, Heirs, Joint-heirs, and Adoption
     The Bible guarantees an amazing inheritance to humanity on the highest spiritual level. This is an inheritance mankind actually shares with Jesus:
♦  "And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together." (Romans 8:17) This is an eternal inheritance of everlasting life, spiritual birth into the royal family of God through Christ, salvation, fulfillment of the promises, rewards, and eternal blessing. It was reserved, predestinated, prepared from the foundation of the world, sanctified, confirmed by an oath, incorruptible, undefiled, and guaranteed through adoption by Jesus Christ to himself. And there cannot possibly be a greater inheritance than everything:
♦  "He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son." (Revelation 21:7)
