IN ADDITION TO JESUS AND HIS FATHER MAKING THEIR HOME WITH US; ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS GOD'S SAINTS DO WHAT THE NEW COVENANT SAYS IS BECAUSE OF THE COUNTLESS ETERNAL **REWARDS** THEY CAN *EARN* FOR OBEYING WITH LOVE AND GOD'S HELP THE APPROXIMATELY 400 COMMANDS OF THE NEW COVENANT!!!
One of the many problems with the Calvinistic Tulip is that of emphasis. Most Calvinists talk of the perseverance of the saints and never talk about the many eternal rewards a saint can **EARN**; rather they say all our good works are all predestined for the glory of God and we will all get the same eternal rewards.
2 Peter 1:5-11: Make every effort to add to you faith {A FREE GIFT} goodness, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness and **LOVE**. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective...and will make your calling and election sure...and you will receive a *RICH WELCOME* into our Eternal Kingdom of Jesus Christ!
By saying *REWARDS* are not *EARNED* by the saints contradicts over 50 passages from the inspired Words of God and removes one of the most important incentives for obeying all of the NT commands with love with the hope countless eternal *REWARDS* for faithful and loving service!!
Daniel 12:3: Those who impart wisdom {NIV} will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness. like the stars for ever and ever!
Revelation 2:18; 3:21: Jesus says, "To him who overcomes I will give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it....And I will give the right to sit with Me on My throne, just as I overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne."
Jesus says, "At the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on His glorious throne...Everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for My sake will receive 100 times as much !!" Matthew 19:28,29
SALVATION IS 100% FREE BUT HEAVENLY REWARDS ARE 100% EARNED:
Hebrews 11:1,6: Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see....And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He **REWARDS** those who earnestly seek Him!!
Ephesians 6:8: Serve wholeheartedly , as if you were serving the Lord, not men, because you know that the Lord will **REWARD** everyone for what ever good he does!.
Revelation 22:12 Jesus says, �Behold I am coming soon! My **REWARD** is with Me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done!�
Matthew 16:27: Jesus says, �The Son of Man is going to come in His Father's glory with His angels and THEN He will **REWARD** each person according to what he has done!�
2 Corinthians 5:9,10: We make it our goal to please Him... for we must all appear before the Judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
1 Corinthians 3:13-15: His work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work. If what he has built survives , he will receive his **REWARD**. If it is burned up he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames.
Colossians 3:23-25: Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, siince you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a **REWARD**. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism.
Hebrews 10:32-36: Remember those earlier days after you had received the Light, when you stood your ground in a great contest in the face of suffering. Sometimes you were publicaly exposed to insult and persecution; at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated. You sympathized with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions. So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly **REWARDED**. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you receive what He has promised!!!

Jesus says in Mark 3:34 "Whoever does God's Will is my *MOTHER*!" And in Matthew 12:50 "Whoever does the will of My Father in Heaven is My *MOTHER*!" And in Luke 8:21: "My *MOTHER* and brothers are those who hear God's Word and put it into practice!"
John 15:9,10" Jesus says, "As the Father **LOVED** Me, so I have **LOVED** you!! Now remain in My **LOVE**. **IF YOU OBEY MY COMMANDS**, you will remain in My **LOVE**, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in His **LOVE**!"
John 14:21,23: Jesus says, "Whoever has My commands and obeys them, he is the one who **LOVES** Me! He who loves Me will be **LOVED** by My Father, and I will **LOVE** him....If anyone **LOVES** Me, he will obey My teaching. My Father will **LOVE** him, and we will come to him and make Our home with him! ... These Words hear are not My own; they belong to the Father who sent Me!"
This confirms Matthew 12:50 above: when Jesus says, "Whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My *MOTHER* and brothers!"
And so Jesus must have **MILLIONS OF MOTHERS**!!!!
Acts 17:11: Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and EXAMINED the SCRIPTURES *EVERY DAY*!!
James 1:22,25: Do not merely listen to the Word, and so deceive yourselves. **DO WHAT IT SAYS!! This confirms Luke 8:21 above when Jesus says, "My *MOTHER* and brothers are those who hear God's Word and put in into practice!"
God's born again saints don't have to memorize the Westminster Confession or Calvin's Instuitues. They just need to read God's Word and then DO WHAT IT SAYS!!!!
I John 2:3-5: We know we have come to know Him {Jesus} **IF WE OBEY HIS COMMANDS**. The man who says, "I know Him," but does not do what He commands is a liar and the truth is not in him. But **IF** anyone obeys His Word, God's love is truly made complete in him.
THE GREAT COMMISSION: Matthew 28:18-20: Jesus says, �All authority in heaven and on *EARTH has been given to Me. Therefore go and make disciples of *ALL NATIONS*...teaching them to **OBEY EVERYTHING** I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very *END OF THE AGE*!�
Ephesians 4:11-16: It was He {Jesus} who gives some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.... Speaking the Truth in **LOVE**, we will in all things grow up into Him, who is the Head, that is Christ. From Him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament grows and builds itself up in **LOVE**, as each part does its work!
1 Corinthians 3:13-15: His work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work. If what he has built survives , he will receive his **REWARD**. If it is burned up he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames.

Yes, you are correct, Jesus does have untold mothers and sisters, and brothers, but only One Father.
It is remarkable that carnal men chose to take what was the nature of God, Elohim, Yahweh, who has millions upon millions of wives, countless sons and daughter, and call any man who exemplified Him, in life, "a polygamist". This is why David was said to be a man after God's own heart. As Elohim had untold women to conceal the Messiah and all of His offspring in, so David had eight women to hide Nathan in. Nathan, who is the third or four sons born to Bathsheba, and David's tenth son overall, is in the lineage of the Sons of God and Messiah in Luke 3.
That is an interesting perspective you happened upon~
Thus we see God exemplified in the men of scripture~
Now you know why it is written "you are all brothers" though each was born of a different mother..
