    In continuation then .How can I be His mother? For when Jesus was teaching in a certain place his mother and half brothers came desiring to talk with Him. He replied by denying as it were His flesh and said his true mother and brethren were they " who do the will of God" .

    How then can a true born child of God be His mother?

    We must look at Mary who received the living Word and conceived a child who in due time brought forth Christ .

    We too if born again of that incorruptible seed which is the Word of God by the Holy Spirit that seed will in its proper time bring forth fruit after its own kind . Whereby we are crucified with Christ ever the less I live but not I but Christ that liveth in me"

    Jesus speaking of Himself said " unless a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die it abide the alone but if it does it bringers forth much fruit" what sort of fruit ? After its own kind .

    Man was CREATED in the image of God but he is BORN in the image of his father Adam ." Shapen in iniquity"

    That image of God was lost or so marred by sin it is now unrecognisable. Did not Jesus say He came to seek and to save that which was lost"?

    "Who being the express image of the invisible God" restores or rather makes "a new creation in Christ Jesus "

    If a man who stands before God then finds himself in hell ,it will not be so much because he has sinned ( for all have sinned." But because of his rejection of Christ and thus does not bare the image of God in him and is thus rejected ." I never knew you".

    And let's face it if a person is forever saying " No God" in his heart is he not simply saying I am not a child of God? But rather a " child of disobedience and a " child of wrath ".?

    We need to grow up who profess to know Christ for far too long we have been " little children" who know not Him who is from the beginning "
