To Call Them Brothers

Hebrews 2:10-13 (ESV Strong's)

10 For it was fitting that he, for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the founder of their salvation perfect through suffering. 11 For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one source. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brothers, 12 saying,

“I will tell of your name to my brothers;

in the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise.”

13 And again,

“I will put my trust in him.”

And again,

“Behold, I and the children God has given me.”

We who follow Jesus are made perfect in yielding to the cross.  We follow by giving our life for His, as He gave His life for ours. 

Just as Jesus was born from above as the Son of Man through the Holy Spirit, so are we reborn through the Spirit from above as sons of God.
