Jesus saith unto her, God is a Spirit: John 4: 21, 24
God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: So God created man in his own image, in the
image of God created he him; Gen 1:26, 27
Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. ( Christ in you, the hope of
Glory) 48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that
are heavenly. 49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption
inherit incorruption. 1 Cor 15:46-50
Note: Everyone who is in the Kingdom of God is in the image of God. When you become born again into the
Kingdom of God, you become in the image of God. When God and Jesus take their abode within you, you bare
the image of the Heavenly.
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness,
temperance: against such there is no law. Gal 5:22,23 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light
in the Lord: walk as children of light: 9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth)
Eph 5:8,9

THE SONS OF GOD
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 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. 3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. 14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. John 3-1-15
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 2 Cor 10:3-5

BECAUSE I LIVE YE SHALL LIVE ALSO
Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. 51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. 53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. 57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. 58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. 62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? 63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. John Chapter 6:50-63

God, who at sundry times and in divers manners
spake in time past unto the fathers by the
prophets, 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto
us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all
things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3 Who
being the brightness of his glory, and the
express image of his person, and upholding all
things by the word of his power, when he had by
himself purged our sins, sat down on the right
hand of the Majesty on high; Being made so much
better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance
obtained a more excellent name than they. 5 For
unto which of the angels said he at any time,
Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee?
And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall
be to me a Son? 6 And again, when he bringeth in
the first begotten into the world, he saith, And let
all the angels of God worship him. Heb 1:1-6
Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made
us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the
saints in light: 13 Who hath delivered us from the
power of darkness, and hath translated us into
the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 In whom we
ave redemption through his blood, even the
forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the
invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Col 1:12-14
JESUS, THE IMAGE OF GOD
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word
was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:1
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt
among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory
as of the only begotten of the Father,)
full of grace and truth. John 1:14
Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father,
and it sufficeth us. 9 Jesus saith unto him,
Have I been so long time with you, and yet
hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath
seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest
thou then, Show us the Father? 10 Believest
thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father
in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak
not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in
me, he doeth the works.
11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the
Father in me: or else believe me for the very
works’ sake. John 14:8-11
John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit
descending from heaven like a dove, and it
abode upon him. 33. And I knew him not: but
he that sent me to baptize with water, the
same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt
see the Spirit descending, and remaining on
him, the same is he which baptizeth with the
Holy Ghost. 34 And I saw, and bare record that
this is the Son of God. John 1:32-34
Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king
then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am
a king. To this end was I born, and for this
cause came I into the world, that I should bear
witness unto the truth. Every one that is of
the truth heareth my voice. John 18:37
JESUS THE SON OF GOD
CHRIST IN YOU THE HOPE OF GLORY
For whom he did foreknow, he also did
predestinate to be conformed to the image of
his Son Romans 8:29
Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit
of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all,
with open face beholding as in a glass the
glory of the Lord, are changed into the same
image from glory to glory, even as by the
Spirit of the Lord. 2 Cor 3:17-18
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new
creature: old things are passed away; behold,
all things are become new. 18 And all things
are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself
by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the
ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God
was in Christ, reconciling the world unto
himself, not imputing their trespasses unto
them; and hath committed unto us the word
of reconciliation. 20 Now then we are
ambassadors for Christ, as though God did
beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s
stead, be ye reconciled to God. 2 Cor 5:17-20
If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give
you another Comforter, that he may abide with
you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom
the world cannot receive, because it seeth him
not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for
he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come
to you. John 14:15-18
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch
cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in
the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide
in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches:
He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same
bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye
can do nothing. John 15:4-5
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you,
ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done
unto you. John 15:7
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such
there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ’s
have crucified the flesh with the affections
and lusts. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also
walk in the Spirit. Gal 5:22-25
Not by works of righteousness which we
have done, but according to his mercy he
saved us, by the washing of regeneration,
and renewing of the Holy Spirit.
Titus 3:5
The anointing which ye have received of him
abideth in you, and ye need not that any man
teach you: but as the same anointing
teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is
no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall
abide in him. 28 And now, little children,
abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we
may have confidence, and not be ashamed
before him at his coming. 29 If ye know that
he is righteous, ye know that every one that
doeth righteousness is born of him.
1 John 2:27-29
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the
mercies of God, that ye present your bodies
a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God,
which is your reasonable service. 2 And be
not conformed to this world: but be ye
transformed by the renewing of your mind,
that ye may prove what is that good, and
acceptable, and perfect, will of God
Romans 12:1-2

And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all
thy strength: this is the first commandment. Mark 12:29 -30
