Phillippians 3:9,

9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

We need to try to expound on sonship and see exactly what it is. First off look at what it's not; you nolonger walk around with your chest out saying I'm a son of God look at what I can do, look at my exploits and how my father use's me. So it's not a boastful thing to understand your sonship.

Sonship will ultimately be the most powerful thing to happen to you other than your salvation. What is the power we are recieve from the HolySpirit, to carry on a life full of doing great things for God, well yes you just may do that. Most that I know anyway that are doing great things for God we never hear about them. They have no tv crew that follows them around, there is no big radio interviews, they go about the father's business delivered from the accolades of men. They arbor the idea of them being the center of attention, to me these are the greats. These are who you want to see and recognize in what they have become because out of this mass of God's high calling you find the father's (and mothers) of the faith.

As we have talked about this before the only way you will know them is by spirit and watch them. The only way to meet them is to cross paths with them.

So what is sonship; it is the power Jesus said we would recieve. You cannot get a higher calling than knowing Christ as life. Many desire an office, which is not a bad thing if you feel lead, but why not seek to press into the high calling of God. There is nothing higher and more powerful than a son that walks in sonship. Not even Angels can do that, nothing is higher, Angels desire your place in God. We are the birthed of God, Angels are created being. The scriptures call Lucifer-son of the morning-but the major difference is he was placed as a son, we are literally born again, birthed by God the father.

Hi Soul man,

I feel I cannot overemphasize that God told us we have everything we need. What do we need to have that life in Christ that we do not already have, all who are born again?

Much love!

Hope all is well,

Oh yes, “being birthed out of God” is the Divine Nature been brought to birth in each one of us.

Absolutely! Sonship is definitely the highest calling that there could possibly be. No higher calling is possible from now to all eternity than to be part of God’s family.

Scripture says; To the manifestation of the Son’s of God does all creation groan for.

So Blessed be our God, that by giving us these great and precious promises whereby we might be made partakers of the Divine Nature. With those words, Sonship has been offered.

Blessings as we grow this Sonship until the appointed day.

Much love in Christ, Not me

Romans 8 contains a lot that is relevant to this.

Good question! Do you see the different levels of understanding, it is a soul-mind issue where growth takes place. The spirit of man (at least the born again) is joined unto the Lord. John talks about different levels of understanding, child level, youngman level, as well as maturing, but it is all found in Christ. Nothing goes on outside of Christ for the believer, it is all an inner work of God their Father.

Beyond comprehension in the natural! No greater place to be than in Christ. It is the love of the Father for his very own blessed offspring to teach them what it means to be in Christ. That is the deepest you can go, it is the deepest the scriptures go in the understanding of the Father for his children. We can make that bold staement based on scripture. You cannot go any deeper than Christ in you the hope of glory! With knowledge! We make that statement based on the scripture. Take Romans 8:1 for instance that says there is no condemnation to those that are in Christ Jesus. The thing is we know people who live under condemnation and are in Christ Jesus. What is the going on there, the knowledge is not there yet, they may love the Lord with all their heart and be an avid student of the word but they are still growing soulishly into the facts, It's ok, there is not a soul that has ever lived and died that did not go through it.

Just a foot note since we are on the subject: have you ever heard the preacher say at a funeral "well at least their in a better place." Now you have to understand the preacher is trying to comfort the family and those in attendance, nothing wrong with that, it is just a statement that is made. I used to say the same thing. I do not use that statement anymore based on my own feeling that I'm not telling the people the truth, so I don't use it. My point is, and it's immaterial on many levels but as a truth it is absulute! You cannot be in a better place than in Christ. If that person was in Christ, they were already in a better place! Js

It is a great day for;

You speak truth, the law is a school master unto Christ. Or in other words human reasonings are a school master to the real experience of knowing scripture not by word but by what the words themselves are meant to portray.

If you won’t mind me saying so you are running well. Manny blessings and may God give you a increase of Christ in your inner man.

Much love in Christ, Not me
