Another name for a Will is a testament or a covenant. The old testament or the 'Law and the Prophets' contained many promises given to a certain bloodline by natural birth. The new Will or testament was ushered in by a blood sacrifice or death of a parent.
Heb 9:16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
Heb 9:17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
Heb 9:18 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.
Heb 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. For this reason Jesus allowed himself to be killed (he could have called 12 legions of Angels to save him) so he could win a victory over death. By his death he allowed mankind to inherit and share his riches which are vast. Why you may ask if you are still reading this thread ? The reason is, it has always been Gods plan from the beginning.
Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, (the us is the Godhead)
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Does this mean we are like God now? No we have the potential to be like God but we require a big transformation.
1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump (possibly Donald): for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1Jn 3:1 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.
1Jn 3:2 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. 1Co 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. Rom 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ. For when God speaks of man he means mankind, male and female, he is not hung up on gender, we are all equal in his sight.
Now a word on natural bloodlines.
Joh 3:1 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
Joh 3:2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
Joh 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again (born from above), he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Joh 3:4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
Joh 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily (truly truly), I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water (Baptism by immersion) and of the Spirit (speaking in tongues), he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Joh 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Joh 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee (singular Nicodemus), Ye (plural everyone) must be born again. Nicodemus was of the first testament the old bloodline and needed to be part of the second Will.
We are are born again into Gods family (every nation)by this process.
With all of the theories and beliefs I read on this Forum I am confused by what is the end game or the culmination of our life in earth. If we all just move onto a higher existence regardless of what we do. Then all the evil moves on with us and the whole thing starts again. If not then there is a judgement and a separation between good and evil. Bought about by an all powerful loving sharing Creator. Rev 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. Can God do that ? Yes he can he even gave the devil a choice. If only the good things of the earth remain and none of the evil things that's got to be better right? Ive made my choice to take God up on his offer to be like him. With God or without him your choice. No pressure!
