Experiencing the Life,

God's Family - and Ours

18/8/2019

 
We are adopted into God's family - a spiritual family. 
The Ten Commandments also protects family and honors parenting. 
Jesus is the beloved Son of the Father. God is also our Father, and we are -
  • His sons and daughters (2 Cor. 6:10),
  • Jesus' brothers and sisters and mother (Matt. 12:49-50),
  • members of God's household (Eph. 2:19),
  • God's sons (John 1:12; 1 John 3:1; Rom. 8:14).
Those without Christ are called by Jesus: "You are of your father, the devil" (John 8:44). 

God's 3 Firstborn Sons -
  1. Israel (Ex. 4:23);
  2. Jesus (Heb. 1:5-6; Rom. 8:29; Col. 1:15, 18); and
  3. The Church (Heb. 2:11-12; 12:23).
The privilege of being the Firstborn Sons means -
  1. honor (Gen. 49:2; Dt. 21:17; Eph. 1:3),
  2. heirs (Rom. 8:17),
  3. royal priesthood and a special people (1 Pet. 2:5; Heb. 4:14; 10:19; given to the Levites in Num. 3:7-11),
  4. title and authority (2 Chron. 21:3; Rev. 1:6; 20:6; 
Reuben and Esau lost their firstborn sonship. It is foolish to trade it.

In Christ God made us His firstborn sons that means Adoption, New Life, New Birth (Eph. 1:5; 2:12; Gal. 4:5-6; 1 Pet. 2:19). 
Therefore, let us live like one and act like one, knowing our new identity in Christ Jesus (1 Thess. 2:12; Phil. 1:27; Eph. 4:1; Col. 1:10).
