Sonship


Hebrews 1:3-7 ESV 

He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.

For to which of the angels did God ever say,

“You are my Son,

today I have begotten you”?

Or again,

“I will be to him a father,

and he shall be to me a son”?

And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says,

“Let all God's angels worship him.”

Of the angels he says,

“He makes his angels winds,

and his ministers a flame of fire.”


The light of the world brings to us the nature of God. The natural man of the earth is not compatible with the nature of God. However, the natural man can choose to receive the nature of Christ who is the exact imprint of the nature of God. 


Christ has conquered sin and has received a Name above all names. This is all authority and majesty that is His. This is His Name He shares with us. 


The Lord has begotten His Son below so that we might be born from above. Just as the angels ministered to Jesus in the wilderness, so it is for the sons of God who walk in the wilderness of the world today. The wind and fire of the Holy Spirit is present in the body of Christ to bring us into the life of Christ.
