Human Race vs. God-men Race (The God-man Kind)

 

Human Race vs. God-men Race (The God-man Kind)

Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over every creature that moves along the ground.”

Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death became widespread among all people, because all sinned.

John 1:12 And to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.

John 1:13 These were not born of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

One-Sentence Prophesying Summary

God became man to make man God in life and nature, producing a corporate race of God-men who live Christ, build up His Body, become Zion today, and consummate in the New Jerusalem.

Ultimate Conclusion

God's eternal economy is not merely to save fallen mankind but to produce a new race—the God-men race. Through incarnation, redemption, resurrection, and regeneration, Christ as the first God-man reproduces Himself in millions of believers. These God-men live by the divine life, express God through humanity, build up the Body of Christ, become Zion in this age, and consummate in the New Jerusalem as the eternal corporate expression of God mingled with man.
