Is Conceived - Matthew 1:20-23

Matthew 1:20-23 ESV 

But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:
“Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and they shall call his name Immanuel”
(which means, God with us).

The sons of God replicate the conception of Jesus in the body of each believer. Within us is conceived a new creature from the Holy Spirit, born from above by the will of God. 

We are called sons of God by God Himself. This new creature will take on the image of the Christ and when we come face to face with Him, we will see that we are like Him. The children of God are created by the Son, the word of creation. 

We are His sons and daughters, and He is well pleased.
