SONSHIP IN CHRIST
“ And it was a happy day for him when he gave us our new lives through the truth of his Word, and we became, as it were, the first children in his new family.” James 1:18 (The Living Bible)
The greatest thing God achieved was not when He created the heavens, the stars, the moon, the sun. The greatest thing God accomplished was not when He made Adam. The greatest thing He achieved was when He INDWELT MAN, through Christ, and this is how he gained Sons.
Beloved, your sonship is the evidence of His Fatherhood. The matter of God having sons was for the satisfaction of His Fatherhood. It has been the Father’s heartbeat even before Sin entered the world.
He intended to indwell us through the Spirit, to be- come one with us that we might be His sons.
The matter of sonship is unto expression.
Fatherhood is for birthing. He is our Father to reproduce Himself in Us, and we are His sons to express (and reveal) Him.
The focus of our Lord Jesus was for
the birthing of the Corporate (many) Sons. The desire of God as a Father was not to have Jesus as the only begotten Son, but that through Him, He will have many sons. Jesus came as the seed of the Father to be sown that through Him there will be the germination of many sons.
The Lord Himself said,
“ Verily, verily, I say unto you, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it dies, it bringeth forth much fruit.”
John 12:24 (KJV)
As many that have received Him are legally Sons of God. We are God-begotten.
“But whoever did want him, who believed he was who he claimed and would do what he said, He made to be their true selves, their child-of-God selves. These are the God-begotten, not blood-begotten, not flesh-begotten, not sex-begotten.” John 1:12-13 (The Message
Bible)
Now, we are the sons of God by Faith (See 1 John 3:1-2; Galatians 3:26). Jesus is no longer the only begotten; He is the firstborn among many brethren, and He sees
us as His brothers.
“ For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.” Romans 8:29 (KJV)
“ Jesus, the Holy One, makes us holy. And as sons and daughters, we now belong to his same Father, so he is not ashamed or embarrassed to introduce us as his brothers and sisters!” Hebrews 2:11 (The Passion Translation)
It is the joy of the Father to bring us into sonship, and this was His predestined plan before time began.
“ For He foreordained us (destined us, planned in love for us) to be adopted (revealed) as His own children through Jesus Christ, in accordance with the purpose of His will [because it pleased Him and was His kind intent]” Ephesians 1:5
Glory to God! This is amazing!
He didn’t just reveal us as His children through Jesus Christ, and He gave us the Holy Spirit to be a seal and a witness that we are His forever.
We have the Holy Spirit as the testimony within us that God is not only God to us. He is not just a Judge unto us, but He is also our Eternal Father. We call Him Daddy! Daddy! (Abba Father) with joy.
“ For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading again to fear [of God’s judgment], but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons [the Spirit producing sonship] by which we [joyfully] cry, “Abba Father! The Spirit Himself testifies and confirms together with our spirit [assuring us] that we [believers] are children of God” Romans 8:15-16 (Amplified Bible)
” And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba,Father.” (Galatians4:6)
The essence of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus is to point you to YOUR SONSHIP IN CHRIST, and this reality delights the Father’s heart.

WE PRAY
That we will walk in the consciousness of our sonship in Christ Jesus. And by the ability of God’s Spirit within us, we shall express the nature of the Father as he has intended.

[…] Every believer in Christ is adopted into sonship. We share in God’s inheritance; however, we must understand as believers in Christ that, we are also appointed by God to be His stewards. […]
