The mission of The Good News is to put in plain words the wonderful promise of our Creator to solve the enormous problems confronting us every day. His solution is not only effective, it is also comprehensive. He will begin to fully implement it by sending
His Son Jesus Christ back to earth to correct every human problem we now face.
But Jesus won't do it alone! Today He is diligently working, with His Father, to prepare more sons and daughters of God to serve under Him in His coming Kingdom. He makes an amazing promise to those who mature spiritually to the point that He can trust them to follow His instructions.
He promises, "To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne" (Revelation 3:21, emphasis added throughout). God Himself adds another very personal promise: "I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says the L ord Almighty" (2 Corinthians 6:18).
The apostle Paul was exceedingly enthusiastic over this plan to create a divine family, exclaiming, "For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God" (Ephesians 3:14-19).
