Sonship

Wholly cow. Sonship and being an heir of Christ has never meant so much to me until today.When we were crucified with Christ, we took on a brand new citizenship. We became SONS of God. This includes the ladies too! We are not only the "children" of God but the Sons of God!

Back in the days the inheritance was given to the sons - not the women. Therefore to say that men and women will be Sons of God that means we will inherit the father's inheritance. People in Rome and people whom Jesus were talking to understood this.

Remember that we were saved by grace through faith in Christ. This is something we cannot ever lose; however you can tell by whether you are or are not saved. What kind of fruits are you bearing? Are you bearing what the Father would bear. We MUST be resembling the Father if we have any part of him. When Jesus was talking about the beatitudes, he was not saying only if you are this or that. From verses 3-10 he was building up to verse 11. You must be all of these things if you are going to keep reading up to verse 11. Remember if we are going to receive all the good things that belonged to the Father we will also receive the negative things. We need to expect persecution if we are truly his sons. Yes God calls us to be peacemakers because He was the ultimate peacemaker; however being a peacemaker means that you will need to stand firm through persecution because we are called to reconcile others to God like God reconciled us back to him. We're not going to be liked BUT REMEMBER YOU AND I are the Sons/heirs of Christ.



We follow the King of Kings. The LORD of Lords. The alpha and the omega. We will be glorified like Christ. We will be risen like Christ. We will be receiving our new heavenly bodies. We will one day be at a place where He will wipe every tear from ours eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain. Bank on his promises. Find his promises in the scriptures!


My goodness this sonship is an amazing thing.
