God surveyed the tragedy of the rebellion of Lucifer and realized that God could only trust God. After the War of the Angels, God started over after repairing the Earth. With Adam and Eve, God began a grand plan to reproduce God through mankind. Beginning with Adam and Eve, God is creating an eternal God Family and mankind is destined to become eternal sons and daughters of the Almighty God. This is why Paul called those who are led by the spirit of God, the "sons of God."

Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. 18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. KJV

The language Paul used in Romans 8 is not taught in mainstream christianity today. "What do children become after they grow up?" The answer is, "They become like their parents." Paul states that mankind's destiny is to be heirs of God, joint-heirs with Christ. The children of God grow up to become God! Christ said that he was one with the Father. Christ made himself to be God and was considered by the Jews of his day as a blasphemer for such a statement. It was blaspheme during Christ's time and is sounds like blaspheme today. Mankind's destiny is to become God and this was the true message that Christ brought to this world.

Christ came to this Earth to be the first to be born into the family of God. The scripture states that Christ was the firstborn of many brethren. Paul, by equating Christians to being brothers or sisters of Christ, was stating that a Christian's ultimate destiny is to be God just as Christ is God. John 1 makes it plain that Christ is the creator God.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. … 14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. NIV

In Romans, Paul states it is mankind's destiny to be glorified as Christ is glorified.

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. KJV

Paul understood mankind's true destiny. In Paul's writings to the Romans, he makes it plain that mankind's destiny is to someday become equal to Christ as members of the God Family. Christ will always have the authority as head of the body and will rule as King; but as his brothers and sisters, mankind's Incredible Human Potential is to be eternal family members in the Kingdom of God.

Satan is an eternal being and can never die. Satan is jealous of the mankind's holy destiny. He deceived Eve into believing that the Tree of Good and Evil had the same properties as the Tree of Life, which represents the destiny of eternal life. The Tree of Good and Evil represents sin which is transgressing the law of God. Sin results in death.

1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. KJV

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death… KJV

Satan entices Eve with her eternal potential, yet seduces her to try and achieve it by disobeying God. By deceiving Adam and Eve to sin, Satan made it impossible for mankind to achieve eternal life. Had Adam and Eve obeyed God and resisted Satan, they would have achieved eternal life and the Plan of God would have taken a completely different path. However, God knew in advance that Adam and Eve would fail their test. But since Christ succeeded where Adam and Eve failed, mankind can still achieve its true destiny.

Proving Mankind's Destiny

MANKIND WILL BE LIKE GOD: 1 John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

MANKIND WILL PARTAKE OF GOD'S DIVINE ATURE:2 Peter 1:4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. NKJV

These scriptures, when taken literally, show that mankind's true destiny is to someday be like God as Christ is God, with the same type of body as Christ and the same power and abilities as Christ. This is the awesome truth that Satan has deceived the world from knowing. This message of mankind's true destiny was the gospel that Christ preached. In addition to that, Christ revelaed what the Plan of God was for mankind to actually achieve this destiny.
