Son and Orphan
Let’s take a brief look at the differences between an orphan and a son. Family Love: A son is free to receive love from members of the family and also free to offer his love and affection to others. An orphan is fearful to do so. Inheritance: A son has a right to claim his […]
In the Place of Adam
In a sense, when Christ died upon the cross and restored our Sonship, he stepped into the place of Adam. He then became the first-born among the dead, and is able to grant eternal life to others. This is a well-established theme in the Bible. Let’s look at a few passages: Col 1:18-20 [NIV] 18And […]
Christ Restored Sonship Back to Us
In yesterday’s post, we discussed the Sonship in the history of man up until the story of the Israelites. As most of you probably know, God allowed the Israelites to be enslaved in Egypt for over 400 years – until He raised Moses to deliver them. On Mount Sinai, He gave them the Law through […]
Sonship in the History of Man
Adam and Eve God created Adam and Eve to be one. In Sonship, there is no male or female. In this oneness is hidden the mystery of the Christ and His Bride, the church. He is head of the Church and One with the Church. Actually before the Fall, Eve’s name was given by Adam […]

But first, the concept of first-born or first-fruit needs to be briefly mentioned. Let’s take a closer look at Colossians 1:15: He is the image of the invisible God, which was stated […]
His Eternal Covenant
In order to put in motion His “Word” or pattern of life of God the Son, God the Father did two things in the beginning: First, He made an eternal covenant with His Son, the Christ, in whom He imputed all of Himself, even His own Spirit Life. Thus He is called the Word, and […]
God is Raising Sons
God’s perfect desire is to raise you as His beloved son (no gender implied) that He can impart all his love, grace, power, and responsibility to you. This has always been His plan. He placed Adam and Eve in the Garden and gave them His image with the desire to grow them into His Likeness, […]
The Cross – A Review
Man chose the path of sin, death and distance from God. Adam & Eve were given a wide road to life and a narrow road to death, but they chose to eat of the tree of death. All future generations of men were born eating only of this fruit and knowing only this existence. Yet, […]
