Answer 2

hi yuki^^

Yes,our mother^^

God has given us a precious promise. So the bible calls us the children of promise.

Please turn to Gal 4:28

“now you brothers like Issac are children of promise.”

Then, What is the promise of God?

1Jn 2:25 “And this is what he promised us even eternal life.”

How can we receive eternal life from God?

Rev 4:11 “…for you created all things, and by your will they were created.”

All things in this world are created by god’s will. And then, Let’s think about this matter, life. How everything could be born in this world? Who can give him life? Father and Mother. But, What is will of God creating mother as a main life giver? It has god’s will.

Just as our physical mother can give us our physical life, Only our spiritual mother can give us our spiritual life. She can give us eternal life.

Let’s find out this through the bible.

Ge 1:26 God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness.”

And then He created male and female. This shows us God has two images, male and female. We call god of male image as our father. How about female image of god?

We must call her as our mother.

Let’s find out there is our heavenly mother in the bible.

Rev 21:9 The bride, the wife of the lamb, is Jerusalem coming down out of heaven.

Here, Revelation was written after Jesus's ascension.

So, The lamb represents Second coming Jesus.

And then, Heavenly Jerusalem represents whom to us?

Gal 4:26 “The Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.”

Just she represents our heavenly mother.

There is no one who could be born without his own mother.

Without our heavenly mother, we cannot have eternal life.

Let’s believe in our mother.

Let’s go to heaven together.
