The Holy Spirit
Dr. A. R. Bernard revealed a truth about the Kingdom of God. God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. God make the world by faith. He made it through and for Jesus Christ, His one and only begotten Son. The word 'begotten' means 'produce' or 'make to happen'. God has made an entity that shares the same glory as Himself. The word 'glory' means 'sinless' or 'perfect in man's sight'. The world includes Adam, a man made in the image of God from the earth and the life of God. He is made in but not with the glory of God. In order for God to commute with man, He gave man a powerful but dangerous tool called free will. This free will allows man to choose his destiny as well as who to love. God, being the maker of the earth and man, knows what is good for His creation. So the saying ' God has thoughts of good and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.' Man, however, has the ability to choose this future, or his own, though God constantly encourages to 'take His yoke, which is light'. Adam has chosen to disobey God. God look upon his sons and descendents, hoping they will choose God and life. But they has chosen to disobey God. But God so loved the world. He works by laws and convenants, thus he made a new convenat with man. He gave his only begotten Son, so that those who believe in Him may not perish but gain eternal life. This is a new convenant with man, so that it may be easier for man to return to God. To ensure that man is able to fulfill his destiny, He sends Jesus Christ to be a physical entitiy of God so as to demonstrate the full potential of man to love. Then he sends the Holy Spirit to reside in Jesus Christ to demonstrate the full potential of man to believe and transform it into power, and to resist evil. Jesus Christ demonstrates what God can do for man, and what man needs to for each other. But Jesus Christ needs to return to God, as His physical entity does not permit it to be omnipresent. But the Holy Spirit, being a spirit is able to permeates the earth and all man. The same power that Jesus Christ has, man has to because of the Holy Spirit. God has the perfect plan, Jesus Christ can influence the plan, and the Holy Spirit reveals and executes that plan. The Holy Spirit represents Jesus Christ directly, for God has given Jesus Christ the power to choose who He wants in the Kingdom. Jesus Christ is appointed the King of our future kingdom. He has chosen the twelve disciples to rule over the twelve tribes of our future kingdom, and He will also choose who is to enter into the Kingdom. If man don't pray for his loved ones to enter the Kingdom of heaven, then his loved ones may not be chosen. Indeed everything is possible. We can ask for anything persistently in His name and it will be done, but not all things are good.
