Those who are in Christ and who have the spirit of
Christ in them have the glorious hope of being born on the divine plane
as members of the body of Christ. These are called to the obtaining of
the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ; and to them are given all the
exceeding great and precious promises contained in the Word of God. The
Prophet speaking of them and to them said: "The nations shall see thy
righteousness, and all the kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by
a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name. Thou shalt also be a
crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand
of thy God." (Isaiah 62:2,3) These have the promise: "When Christ, who
is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory".
(Colossians 3:4) And "then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in
the kingdom of their Father".--Matthew 13:43.
[345]The apostle Paul declares that he was made a minister, according to
the gift of God, that he should preach to the nations the unsearchable
riches of Christ, "and to make all see what is the fellowship of the
mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who
created all things by Jesus Christ: to the intent that now unto the
principalities and powers in heavenly places might be [made] known by
the church the manifold wisdom of God, according to the eternal purpose
which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord".
