in jesus likeness

Who we are

We believe that God created the man with a purpose very clear. He designed this purpose before the foundation of the world. We can define it as follows: God wants a family of many children in Jesus’ likeness.

A family means unity. This is an indispensable requirement for the fulfillment of God’s purpose. Although unity is not emphasized in the text above, we know that children in Jesus’ likeness cannot be quarrelsome, factious or sectarian. The unity of the family is emphasized very well in passages like Joh 17:20-22; 1Cor 1:10-12; 3:1-4; 10:16-171.

Of many children means multiplication. Disciples that make more disciples2. Where there is natural life, there’s always multiplication. Spiritual life should also be like that. He who has the life of Christ, is fruitful and multiplies this life in the others.

In Jesus’ likeness means edification. God has no contentment in quantity, nor is satisfied with numbers. He wants quality. That His children live like Jesus and walk as Jesus walked. Husbands that take care of their wives as the weaker vessel3. Wives that submit to their own husbands4. Singles that seek sanctification, the will of God5. Children that obey and honor their parents6.

We seek a family relationship, without separation among people and priests, but everyone working together to grow and edify the body of Christ7.

Until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. (Eph 4:13)

That is what we believe and what we seek for!
