+ The destiny of God’s adopted sons and daughters is to follow Christ into the fullness of His victory over the forces of sin and death. This is what is meant throughout the Scriptures by the glorification of mankind. Glorification is not the exaltation of man above God so that we may become our own “gods,” but the manifestation of the divine life and power of Christ through the human condition. God’s goal is new humans whose earthly weakness gives way for God’s power and strength. God must become all in all - in mind, body, and spirit. A new heaven and a new earth are in the process of becoming.

+ As becomes evident from reading the New Testament, the kingdom of God is the transformation of human consciousness to match that of Jesus Christ, who is the image of the divine. This happens through faith (intuitive trust in Christ), hope (for the restoration and renewal of all things), and love (for God and others that ultimately manifests in good deeds). To the extent that we have these three (faith, hope, and love), we have the kingdom of God in and amongst ourselves.
