In a world overwhelmed by suffering, wars, and confusion, the path to true fellowship with the Father and His Son Jesus Christ offers hope and understanding. This fellowship is made possible through Jesus Christ, who has removed the barrier of sin that separates humanity from God. Sin, as an obstacle, creates a cloud of darkness between God and man, but Christ's sacrifice has dealt with this barrier, satisfying the justice and righteousness of God. Through His act of infinite love and sacrifice, He has taken upon Himself the sins of the world, enabling a renewed relationship with the Father. To be in true fellowship with God, there must be a likeness of nature, a shared character. This is achieved through Christ, who makes it possible for us to become partakers of the divine nature. By receiving a new life and nature in Him, we can become like God, sharing His life and mind through the Holy Spirit. This transformation allows us to say that we live, yet not we, but Christ lives in us. Furthermore, true fellowship requires loving the same things that God loves, including truth and one another, with complete understanding, confidence, and trust. It is only through seeing God in Jesus Christ that we come to truly love Him and experience this fellowship. Even in a world marked by misery and disunity, we can be unified with God, experiencing the joy and confidence that Christ Himself knew, enduring challenges with the assurance of fellowship with the Father and His Son.

Salvation is limited to those specifically called and sanctified by God for salvation, and denied to all others. Mankind, born with a carnal mind, lacks the free will to truly seek Him unless God deliberately adjusts the person's mind in His calling, granting understanding and a willingness to submit to His law. It is the clearly named Son who gives those who honestly receive Him the right, authority, power, and privilege to be in God's family and kingdom, as stated in scripture. These individuals are not born or generated by the will of the flesh, but of God. The Father personally calls those He wants, drawing them to the Son, who then chooses their placement within the church. This divine selection underscores that no one can force themselves into God's family or kingdom by their own standards, but only through being born of God.

The concept of being born of God is integral to the transformation of individual character and the expression of love. We can be assured that we have been born of God when we demonstrate love for our brethren, confirming that we are on the right path. If we fail to show love, it indicates that we do not truly know the Father, for how can there be a relationship with Him if we do not emulate His actions in all that we do? He sent His Son to this earth to die for our sins and to set an example for us to follow in His steps. Loving God and loving our brother are inseparable; they are like two sides of the same coin, always present together. If we love God, we must love our brother, and if we do not love our brother, we do not truly love God. This love for one another is a reflection of the love He has shown us, which we reciprocate through kindness and generosity in our relationships.

As Christians, we overcome the world because we are born of God. Being born of God means we possess a new disposition and outlook, enabling us to conquer the challenges posed by the world, satan, and our own human nature. This transformation allows us to view the world through the perspective of God, sharing in the divine nature. Our faith, rooted in the belief that Jesus is the Son of God, and our relationship with God the Father and Jesus Christ, empower us to resist the hostility of the world. This spiritual rebirth distinguishes us from those who remain dominated by worldly influences, providing us with the strength to rise above temptations and trials. Through this divine connection, we gain the ability to overcome, as our faith becomes a living force that sustains us in the ongoing battle against the forces of this world.
