The Bible tells US that from the very

/ Lord Jesus would accomplish the work
and become the Father Of Adam and his
race by regeneration; and the Apostle
Paul assures that God foresnev also
the Church as the Bride of Christ, His
Joint-heir In His Kingdom. To some
Of the earliest members OF the Church

The Father purposed that The Bride
class should be selected from amongst
the members of the fallen race and
/ should be prepared for their work Of
future glory before the regeneration Of
the world would commence. He pur.
posed also that this Bride class should
have a change Of nature similar TO that,
which our Lord Jesus experienced
that it would begin with them as with
! Him at the time OF conservation and
! spirit-begettin and would eliminate
with them as with Him, m the resurrec-
tion change.
Thus the Church has the promise that
( she shall be like her Lord, shall see
Him as lie is and share His glory. II

that the Church has a different Fatner..
