The greatest struggle a Christian, born again of God, has, is to realise fully the reality and the depth of his Father’s love, and that this great salvation is totally planned and willed by Him. Thus, the people that are saved, are saved according to a decision He made, as I have said it, before He ever sent Jesus to the earth. (Ephesians 1:4) The first man that God created was Adam, as written in Genesis. ‘On the sixth day, God said, (Elohim said, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit): ‘Let us create man in our image, in our likeness … So, Elohim Created man in His own image, in the image of God, He created him.’ (Genesis 1: 25-26)

According to all the genealogies we find in the Old and New Testament, it happened three thousand nine hundred and ninety-eight/nine years before the birth of Jesus Christ. By the way! With all the hard work of most modern scientists that promote evolution, they still have not been able to disprove that God created the first man, for the missing link is still missing. So, those that believed it and promote it as factual, spread a myth! Fictitious, fiction. Jesus Christ, is the only man that fits God’s grand living purpose, for Jesus is the only man, in a glorified body, His Son, Jesus of Nazareth, sitting in power and glory at the right hand of God. Therefore, He is that man God purposed in Genesis, as written afore! And when the great day happens, and all saints are raptured from earth to heaven, they will be given a glorified body, immortal, like that of Jesus!  

Thus, the Christians’ true, spiritual nature is very real, but is veiled by the body, yet, inwardly that new man is a glorified son of God. The apostle John had this in mind when inspired by the Holy Spirit He wrote, verses I have quoted before: ‘Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known (revealed) But we know that when He shall appear, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. (1 John 3:2) The very big problem, has always been, that Christians do not understand who they really are in the eyes of God, their Father! 

Therefore, what Cristians must accept, what seems to be very difficult to believe and accept, is that the earth has been created long before man was, and that humanity which issued from Adam, is only six thousand years old! It is written: ‘Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God. To the saints in Ephesus, (the believers that are) faithful in Christ Jesus: Grace and peace to you from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. – Praise be to God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blest us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For He (the Father) chose us in Him (Jesus) before the creation of the world (as recorded in Genesis) to be holy and blameless in His sight. In love, he predestined us to be adopted as His sons, through Jesus Christ, in accordance with the pleasure of His will – to the praise of His glorious grace which He has freely given us in the One He loves. (Ephesians 1: 1–6) Thus, what God, the Father who decides everything, had in mind in Genesis, became real in Jesus Christ, called the last Adam, the head of a new humanity, His Church! 

Now Christians know these things, they know God’s will, God’s grace, and that all Christians, are His sons/children by right, and by nature, according to His will! But we are, unless I am the only one, living these blessings and realities in a human body, which is still in the bondage to the fall, the redemption of the body is yet future. But, when a Christian dies, his soul goes straight to heaven! At first, a Christian does not find it easy to see himself as God sees him, in Christ! But as he grows and matures in the faith, he gets to the point when all the promises of God are Yes and Amen in Christ Jesus.
