Christ is not only called our brother, but He is called our Father.

Isaiah 9:6
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and
his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince
of Peace.

I Peter 1:23
For you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the
living and abiding Word of God.

The Word of God is the Son. John tells us that “the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.” By
His seed we are made sons.

Isaiah 53:10-11
Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an
offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall
prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied...
KJV

Isaiah prophesied that Yahshua, the last Adam, would see His seed and be satisfied by that which the
travail of His soul had produced.

John 12:24
“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself
alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.”

Those born again of the Spirit of Christ are His seed. They have His nature within them. His nature
is that of a selfless Savior. All who walk after His Spirit will lay down their lives for others. They will
not be manslayers. They will be man-savers.

Luke 9:54-56
And when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command fire
to come down from heaven and consume them?” But He turned and rebuked them, and said, “You
do not know what kind of spirit you are of; for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives,
but to save them.”

Through the first man Adam, came transgression resulting in death to all men. Through the last Adam
came obedience resulting in life for all men. The bride of the first Adam was deceived and led astray
from truth and faith in God. The bride of the last Adam will walk in truth and manifest a sincere and
pure faith in God. The firstborn of the first Adam was a murderer, a man-slayer, but the firstborn of
the last Adam will be man-savers. They will lay down their lives that others might live.

II Corinthians 4:11-12
For we who live are constantly being delivered over to death for Yahshua’s sake, that the life of
