In part one we saw that the offspring of God have their origins from above and not from this world. They are the sons and daughters of God; they are princes and princesses whose Father is the King. They are true Christians.
They will realize that they are put here by a Being that is not of this earth. They see that reality is not earth-based. They realize that they cannot see true reality by looking through earthly eyes.
They see that it is a heavenly vision, a heavenly faith, a heavenly destiny, a heavenly plan, a heavenly purpose, a heavenly blueprint, a heavenly design, a heavenly way, a heavenly thought of a heavenly Father, who is above all this on earth and is in us whom He has called.
To think earthly is to be in darkness. He has called us out of darkness into the heavenly light. To be earthly minded is sure death in the darkness, for what seems to be our earthly life is really only a walking death. Remember when Christ told them to “let the dead bury the dead”?
To even get out of the old and to get into the new life, we must believe in an invisible, Supreme Spiritual Being who does the saving, who is not of this earth, who calls us with a heavenly calling, and urges us in mysterious ways to appear to choose His heavenly way against the “better judgement” of our unbelieving earthly sensess.
An enlightened individual takes in this light–light that nothing earthly is as it seems. For everything in and of the world is tricky, slippery, treacherous, and deceiving. Earthly man is crooked, undependable, self-centered, and prideful.
But there are human beings who are beginning to realize that this walk here is a spiritual thing and not an earthly thing. They see that their bodies are in the world but their spirit is not of this earth. For they are “strangers and pilgrims on the earth,” seeking a “better country, that is, a heavenly” country (Hebrews 11:13-15).
They realize that they are looking for their home which is a four square city full of light that has 12 foundations where it never gets dark. That city, the New Jerusalem, is their home, which one day will come down out of heaven and set down right here on earth. And they believe this having never seen this city with their earthly eyes, a city that is not of this earth.
