God created man with a plan for his presence on earth but the entrance of sin created a disconnection between man and God. However, that perfect plan also had a restoration path for those who are willing. In the Body of Christ, we are all the children of God. That is the general idea and it is good especially as it is a huge step from those who are still in the world. There are good benefits that proceed from being born again spiritually in Christ of which the greatest is the gift of eternal life.
However, there is often a misconception that is born out ignorance or arrogance (of being born again) and that is idea that the quality of life for all is the same because we are the children of God. That is not true and recognising this will help to give commitment to becoming the person that God created you to be. Otherwise, the downside is a life that is limiting and less than God’s plans for you. Unfortunately most Christians are living their life at that lesser level.
The scriptures reveal this highest level of living as True sonship. Romans 8.13 explains this “For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God” Amplified. Being a child of God does not confer sonship. That is the undeniable truth. Sonship is the best quality of life and that comes from being influenced, controlled and guided by the Holy Spirit in all things.It is the type of life that Daniel, Joseph had and which is described in Daniel 11.32 as those who are strong(in power and authority) and do exploits that make them unique.
These set apart sons (generic form) of God are able to deal with all manner of circumstances only from the place of the spirit – the spiritual man as opposed to the carnal/naturally inclined life. A person who is daily being transformed, amenable to correction by the Holy Spirit and submitted to God. Willing to make the sacrifices of being a light to their generation. These are the collective that God will entrust His plans into their care.
Don’t just seek to be a ‘floor’ member of the Body of Christ. Set yourself apart as a son of God by living at the highest level of life and doing exploits for God. Be a person that God will speak highly of as He spoke of David as’ a man after His Heart’. The choice is yours to make and follow through. I pray for you as I do for myself that you will commit to walking in the experience of true sonship everyday.
