Why has God brought forth so many chil

Why has God brought forth so many chil dren? Not mainly because He loves us or be cause He has pity on us. Although He loves us, the purpose of His begetting so many children is for His multiplication. God loves to be multi plied. Every father has some multiplication. Be fore God brought us forth, He was merely God Himself. He could look at Himself and say, "Here I am by Myself. I am almighty, omniscient, and omnipresent. I am everything, but I am alone." Now, after generating so many children, God can say, "Behold My multiplication!" Through out all the centuries and generations God has been multiplying Himself.

In the beginning was the Word and in Him was life. Through creation He prepared many receivers. Today, these receivers have become God's multiplication, and this multiplication has become the increase and corporate expression of God. God is fully expressed through His chil dren as His increase and corporate expression.

God originally had only one Son, His only begotten, as His expression. That expression may be called the individual expression. Now God, through the multiplication of His life, has many sons as His expression. This expression may be called the corporate expression, which

is composed of His Son, who has now become His Firstborn, and His many brothers. This is one of the main aspects of the revelation of the Gospel of John.
