The Program

There is a program that God is endeavoring in. He wants himself here. That is His program: His increasing and our decreasing by our becoming Him. John the Baptist got the math. Nothing but the program really matters. The Bible makes it clear: our concern is evangelism, making people into Him, serving Him by increasing Him. He is good stuff!

We are NOT to be concerned about peripheral things that God has said He will take care of. Are you worried that politicians will steal your liberties? That so-and-so is going to attack? Worried about not being one of the 144 thousand? Or that there is too much salt in processed foods? If you are in the program, God has promised to take care of you. Not that you won't die eventually, but even if you do, He's there.

That is the way Jesus went. Slapped, punched, whipped, crowned with thorns (ouch!), crucified -- at every point where man had failed to submit his will to God's, Jesus recapitulated failure with humble, surrendered submission to God's will. Jesus succeeded until death: "It is adhered to!" (John 19:30 Alexander). And God was there.

Now Jesus is risen and is the Federal Head of a new man, the Milta man. We were born into failed man, now we can be adopted into the new creation, the resurrected and growing unto completion Milta.

Get with the program. Repent and believe in the reward, which is your giving your being unto adoption by Him (i.e., you are His reward, if you will surrender yourself).
