The Mount of the House of the Lord
The New Birth will give you a new nature; it will give you a new reality, for out of that old lineage you will be born, and will become to be new creatures. You will speak with the Nature and the Characteristics of your SAVIOR; and you will think accordingly, therefore, you. are new creatures in reality. This is the Now Birth, for
'in Adam all die.. but in Jesus CHRIST all shall be made alive".
If you are born again, you are in a new family; your lineage is not the lineage that it was before. You are not only adopted into "the Royal Family", but you are born into the Real Family. Your connection from every angle expressible will be completely obliterated and will no longer be in consideration, for you will dispel even the recognition of such from your memory. Aren't you glad?
Who is your mother, and who are your brothers, and who are your sisters? They who do the Will of your FATHER, for GOD is your FATHER, and you never had another. If there was any other who claimed you, you have forgotten all about him. Jesus did not remember anything about mortality; he did not remember anything about any lineage, saving that which HE was representing, Can you not see the mystery? Was HE, not the Sample and the Example? Did HE not say,
'Copy after the Fashion I have shown you"?
Has not the Sample and the Example been exemplified among you? Has this not been an Example that has been an expression to show you the results that such an example will bring: the desirable results on every hand? Aren't you glad? You are no longer born of men nor of man, but born of GOD, being new creatures naturely, characteristically, and dispositionally, for you are in a new lineage and out of that old lineage completely. You will forget the things that are behind you.
Then I say,
'Tell of this wonderful Love, Tell of this wonderful Love of your FATHER: Now tell of this wonderful Love.'
(N. D. 9-8-38 A.D.F.D., P. 33)
Song:
FATHER is everything, HE'S everything to me, - HE'S everything, HE'S everything to me, - HE IS my FATHER, and my M0THER. My SISTER, - And my BROTHER, HE'S everything to me.
