The Body of Christ on the earth connects creation to God and to heaven. Looking into what it means to be sons of God will lead us to inquire about God's very nature and character. God intended to establish creation so that His character and nature, the aspects of His being, could be seen. This was supported by the seven attributes, or spirits, of God.Understanding God as spirit and, by extension, human beings as spiritual beings requires a discussion of God's person, the characteristics by which He reveals Himself and His nature. In this sevenfold display, God shows the distinctiveness of His person and makes Himself knowable and available. Our transformation into His image and likeness awakens our spirit, which lives and functions in these characteristics.God's essential nature is love. It was His intention to impart all the various aspects of love into one visible being: a corporate Man comprised of many people of the earth and across the entire spectrum of humanity. He calls the people to Himself and arranges them according to the divine order known as the Kingdom of Heaven. God intends to put Himself on display through all those on the earth who are governed by His Spirit, ruling themselves by the dictates of heaven as displayed by Jesus when He lived on the earth. Though made up of many members, the corporate Man is capable of presenting the intricacies of the divine nature of God in one observable, functional people. Their presence in the earth will be as light in the darkness.
