Ps 82:6;
I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
This illustration merely attempts to separate and show the many types and kinds observed within
The Word of The Godhead, by consolidating and harmonizing the many references into an exacting, comprehensively unified understanding. Thus,
ONE./ Beginning with this Dichotomy of the Human Race / of Types and Kinds according to The Word of The Godhead, the difference that sets the good ground apart from all others is twofold -
1st./ The Good Ground bears The Spirit of the Godhead; and,
2nd./ They are no longer in the flesh, but, are In The SPIRIT. i.e. they have been translated into the Kingdom of God The Father's Dear Son; they have been converted via subjection to the regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost.
3rd./ Now, what exactly does all of that mean ( in real, plain, simple terms and language ) ?
A./ As previously noted [HERE],
1./ We breath The Spirit of The Godhead.....Gen. 2:7; + Job 27:3;
and,
2./ We live and move and have our being within this same Spirit of The Godhead.....
Ps. 139:7-11; + Acts 17:24-28; such that, we are enveloped by/within The Spirit of The Godhead
which saturates and permeates the very fabric of creation ( as well as our own )....
and,
3./ The Kingdom of this same Godhead resides withinside our very being !!! Lk. 17:21;
" ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you "
" ye are "
1 Corinthians 3:15-16;
16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth "in you"?
"in you all"
Ephesians 4:4-16;
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
2 Corinthians 6:16; "...as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them;..."
1 Corinthians 12:6;
And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
Philippians 2:13;
For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
WORKETH ALSO, In a dream, in a vision
Job 33:14-17;
14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,
17 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
SO THAT WE ARE INUNDATED BY/WITH THIS SPIRIT OF THE GODHEAD !
On all sides; inside and out !!!
and, not only so, but....
B./ IT IS UNTO ALL
not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham
Ro 4:16;
Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,... C./ So, what then is the/what makes the difference ?
1./ The difference between the man of God and the rest of the world can be clearly observed in Romans chapter 1, esp. 1:18-21.
Romans 1:18-21; + 28. esp. verses 21 and 28.
18 For
the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and
unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For
the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly
seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal
power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because
that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were
thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart
was darkened.
and,
Romans 1:28;And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
a./ characteristics of the ungodly are,
men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness
they glorified him not as God
neither were thankful
they did not like to retain God in their knowledge
b./ such characteristics set the man of God apart from these as distinct and separate of these by reason and virtue of the genuine and intimate intimacy the man of God has for and show towards the Godhead as his Lord and Saviour !
1 John 4:19;
We love him, because he first loved us.
c./ The Good Ground, that bears The Spirit of the Godhead; and,
They are no longer in the flesh, but, are In The SPIRIT, .....
are they whom love God ( 1st and foremost ) and, whom also love their brethren, fellowman, and, kinsmen ( as they love themselves ); whom hide not from their own flesh nor withhold from them their necessary sustenances: whom are forward in advances to so provide for others as unto themselves. [ even, such love shown and extended even unto thine enemies as well ]. For,
this is that Spirit of The Godhead !!!! None other.
Romans 5:8;
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Ro. 5:10;
For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
The Good Ground bears this Spirit of the Godhead which then/thus separates and distinguishes themselves as separate and distinct among all the rest.
They are no longer in the flesh, but, are In The SPIRIT.
2./ THE TEST(s)
1 John 4:7-9;
7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
1 John 4:15-17;
15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

THE TEST(s)
###############################
James 2:14-26;
14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?

Matthew 25:31-46;
31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
Isaiah 58:6-8;
6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the Lord shall be thy reward.
TWO./ Notwithstanding all of the above, there are rather remarkable and salient differences as well !
