The Chief Cornerstone of the Family of God...Mother

Have you heard before that all who believe in Jesus Christ are brothers and sisters? That would mean that every believer in Christ is a part of the family of God.

1 Pet 4:17 "For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God?"

However, when we consider a family, there are two key elements that make the entire system: a mother and blood.

First of all, a family is built on the cornerstone, which is a mother. Even if a man is old in age, he cannot be a father if he has no children. But who is the one who gives birth to the children? It is the Mother.

Now if we are a part of the family of God, we must consider, since God is Our Father, who is Our Mother?

Gal. 4:26 "But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our Mother...28Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise."

When the Apostle Paul wrote to the believers in Christ 2000 years ago, he referred to them as children of promise, but this only after mentioning that the Jerusalem above (heaven) is Our Mother. As children of God, believers in Christ, we must believe in Our Heavenly Mother Jerusalem in addition to Our Heavenly Father. If not, how can we say we are a part of the family of God?
