God is Good
God is Good. Without an experiential knowledge of the Goodness of God, and specifically God as only Good,
it is impossible to enter the Kingdom of God.
This may seem to be an overly harsh assertion, but I believe it to be
true.
The Sons of God
The Key is the link between the Sons of God and the Fruit of
the Spirit.
Jesus made the point crystal clear in Mark 18:18 that only God is Good.
As son of God, Jesus was not saying that he was not good, rather that
goodness is the manifestation or revelation of the true God.
As God's Son he manifested that God is Good.
All creation groans for the revealing of the sons of God.
- Rom 8:19 For the earnest expectation of
the creation waits for the manifestation of the sons of
God. 20 For the creation was not willingly subjected to
vanity, but because of Him who subjected it on hope 21 that
the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of
corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of
God. 8:22 And we know that the whole creation groans and
travails in pain together until now.
Travail for birth - Sons are birthed, not made.
Sonship has to do with rebirth into a spiritual body, a body of
goodness for a realm of goodness - from a God who is only good. Being
clothed with the Fathers garment. Wearing the virtues
The sons of God are revealed when the Kingdom comes. When this
realm and we ourselves have our primary manifestation in the
goodness of God, the virtues.
When the seed of who we are is no longer primarily heard in the bondage
of corruption, but in the perfect Wisdom of God who fully saturated and
filled with the Spirit of God hears the words of God perfectly.
When the fruit of the Spirit of God is no longer just the virtues, but all creation.
Wisdom is justified by her children.
