Galatians 4:4-6 (KJV)
4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
Every believer that confessed Jesus as Lord and believed in their hearts that God raised Him from the dead, was adopted as a son. This word “adoption” means we were placed into the Kingdom of God as sons. We are not second-class sons. For example, Jesus is Son A and we are Son B. No! We have the same relationship that Jesus had obtained from the Father when He walked the earth (John 17:23)
Reference Scriptures:
John 1:12 (KJV) – But as many as received him, to them gave the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
1 John 3:1 (KJV) – Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
John 17:23 (KJV) – I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
And… if you are a son, according to Romans 8:17, “…And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ;”. Amen!
Meditate and Declare
- I am a son of God.
- My Heavenly Father loves me just like He loved Jesus.
