World Mission Society Church of God - Heavenly Family and Earthly Family 3

World Mission Society Church of God follows teachings of Christ Ahnsahnghong and Mother.
Heavenly Mother Jerusalem

We have studied that there exist a God the Father, and His children, in the heavenly family. Then, who is left? It's Mother.

Gal. 4:25-26 『Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children. But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.』

In this verse we can find the words "our mother." "Our" refers to the children who believe in God. This verse reveals that there exists a heavenly Mother to the children who will be saved.

So far, we've studied about which members compose a family, and we have confirmed that we have a spiritual family in heaven. Just as we have fathers, brothers, sisters, and mothers in our physical families, we have our spiritual Father, brothers, sisters, and spiritual Mother in our spiritual family.


The Family Must Be Connected by Blood

What connects a family together? It's blood. Just as physical children inherit their father and mother's flesh and blood, the spiritual children inherit the spiritual Father and Mother's flesh and blood. If the physical family is connected by physical blood, then the heavenly family is connected by heavenly blood, because what is on earth is a copy and a shadow of what is in heaven.

John 6:53-55 『Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink."』

Jesus fed his people with His flesh and blood, so the heavenly Father and Mother's blood and flesh are now in us. Only God has eternal life. The flesh and blood of God?who gives eternal life?has been given to us, God's children. Thus, we have become eternal beings and we are able to call upon God, "Abba, Father!"
