Pertaining to Christ Jesus
To understand what is meant by Son Of God we must recognize that it is a phrase describing a person and an action.
The person is God who is Spirit - the Holy Spirit.
The action is the begetting, bringing forth, manifestation.
Son implies begotten of and proceeding from the Father.
Since God is the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit is the Father of the Son, Christ Jesus.
We know that Jesus and His Father are One.
We know that Jesus is the express image of His Father.
So, unlike the individual uniqueness of a human father and his son, the Son Of God is His own Father and the Father is His own Son.
Realizing this enables us to understand how all power in heaven and earth is in the Lord Jesus Christ and that only in the name of Jesus can a person know God and be accepted by God.
Jesus Is Lord <=> Jesus Is God.
Jesus is Spirit Soul And Body as are we who were created in His image.
➛ Spirit Of God
➛ Soul Of God
➛ Body Of God.
Pertaining to us
A Son Of God is also a god. Many believers balk at such a statement but the reality is that the Lord ordained that all life produce after its kind.
➛ birds produce birds
➛ sheep produce sheep
➛ humans produce humans
➛ God produces gods
This is the amazing Truth and power of the New Birth. When we are born of the Word and Holy Spirit of Christ Jesus we are like Him in the New Creature.
A great Truth was stolen from the church by Satan, the thief.
But, the day has come when that Truth has been recovered.
What Truth?
Christ Jesus and His Holy Spirit Father are one. We are in Christ by virtue of being in His Holy Spirit and His Holy Spirit in us.
In that state we are one with the Holy Spirit Father. Therefore we are greater than anything that comes against us.
That is, if we believe what the Word says about us instead of circumstances and 'experts'.
Beloved, now are we the sons of the Holy Spirit, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. |
You are a New Creature in Christ - a New Spirit being. You cannot know who you are except by investing in the Word and Holy Spirit.
You extend your New Spirit being into your soul by meditating on the Word - what the Lord Jesus Christ says about you - and by fellowshipping with His Holy Spirit.
If Jesus is just the Son of God, why did God leave Him as an orphan to be raised by Joseph?
That wasn't very fatherly of the Father was it?
The foolishness of seeing Jesus as a natural son has rendered much of Christianity in a state of confusion about the nature of God, leading Him to come up with the bizarre concept of the Trinity.
In the natural, a son is a separate individual person from their father. It is the analogy of human procreation that creates the error of differentiating between the person of the Father and the person of the Son.
There is only 1 person in the Godhead. Our God is Spirit and He is Word ( Soul) and He is Body. Our God is Christ Jesus who is the Spirit Soul And Body of God apart from which there is no other God.
