Today God laid on me this message of "Son Of God. He took me to Genesis 22:8 and just took over. This entire message was laid on my mind and just kept on flowing out until I completed it a few hours later. I'd like to now take you to the frame work of this entire message. Genesis 22:8 "And Abraham said My son God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together."Now here it is...Abraham is speaking prophetically telling his son that God himself will be the lamb and atoning sacrifice for sin. This is where the the message of God's son starts, are you ready? Lets dive in.
Now please note in Genesis 22:8, that God did not say he would send HIS eternal son, because God doesn't have an eternal son. In fact, the very idea of "God's son" has to do with manifesting a human body that was a son of God in according to the Torah law. This is why Jesus had to be a Hebrew man.
I have to stress two things here, the words "Hebrew" and "man." God could not have been made manifest as a gentile or as a woman. In fact Deuteronomy 7:6 tells us that the Hebrew people are God's people, so with that said, can't we gather the idea that the men belonging to these people are God's son's? Now going past this educated assumption, I now want to prove that this idea as fact, in accordance with scripture.
Psalm 82:6 tells us that Hebrew men are "son's of the Most High God!" So here it is, Jesus (One God of creation, who did not yet reveal his very name or physical body) had to come down and dwell as a Hebrew man, or "Son of God."
In fact, Galatians 4:4-5 tells us that Jesus had to be "born of a woman, born under the law so that we might receive the adoptions of sons!" Now lets break this down, right off the bat we see that Jesus he had to be human and born of a woman. Secondly we read that Jesus had to be born under the law. This means that Jesus had to be born as a Jew in line with the very Torah, which is what the word "law" here refers to. The Torah or God's instructions made up the 613 observances that God's people were to live by. The Torah is what granted them their identity as God's very people.
So Jesus had to be a "son" under the Torah law, in order to fulfill the law and to obtain the very promises of God, as stated in Galatians 3:16. Of course he had to do this, in order to the bridge the gap that sin caused, and separated God from his people. In fact, Isaiah 59:2 tells us that it is our iniquities (gross sin, which leads to guilt) which has separated God's people from hearing him and knowing him. As time progressed, you can see ancient Israel regress. The miracles, the prophets, the very words of God become more and more scarce. In fact Galatians 3:19 tells us that the very Torah itself was established due to the fact that sin was increased and also so the very Spirit of God could dwell INSIDE His people!
You get this regression and increase of sin, (new ways to transgress the Torah law) all the way until Jesus came. Jesus was the promised SEED that by which the very word of God shone it's glorious light through a Hebrew Son of God. This man submitted his own feelings and comfort to His very Spirit, who was God. He felt pain, but resisted it to bring into reality a pure sacrifice.
During this time, God's people were so lost, not only did they loose their very identity, but they killed a Hebrew man, who's very Spirit in him was their God who at one time delivered them!
Now this brings us back to Psalm 82:6, which Jesus himself quotes in John 10:34. Jesus quotes Pslam 82:6 in this verse, for the very reason of showing HIS people who he is and who they are!
Unfortunately sin blinded the eyes of the people, and his words fell on deaf ears. Again, please keep in mind, that this is the very reason why Jesus had to die and he knew it. There had to be a blood sacrifice to atone for sin, so that the very spirit of God could be received, as stated in Galatians 3:14. In fact, this Spirit was meant to quicken his people to life and as John 14:26 tells us, teach us them ALL things! We are talking about the Son of God.
In fact, when we receive the very spirit of Jesus, we are fully adopted as sons as stated in Galatians 4:5. In fact, this is the only way in which son ship can be attained! How does this happen, well we must die and apply share in the very death of Jesus. We must die to ourselves and put on His very blood, so that we can pass over from death to life! This is done by applying His word, because He is his word. In fact, Acts 2:38 tells us that we must be baptized (full water immersion) IN (only) Jesus name for THE REMISSION of our sins! If we do this, we are promised God's very Spirit in us! This is the word of God and it's the only means by which the very blood can be applied. If we do not obey this Gospel as stated in 2 Thessalonians 1:8, not only will we not be sons of God, but he will punish us!
So when we say that Jesus is "The son of God" we are half right. The very flesh of God was in fact a Hebrew man, or "son of God" via the Old Covenant. (This covenant in which he was born under is noted in Luke 2:21) This verse is noted in scripture because it shows us that Jesus, without a shadow of a doubt was born into the Old Covenant and was a Hebrew male. He observed the law and showed us it being lived out in perfection, according to the very purpose God designed it for. (Not to be a set of vein rules, but a lifestyle)
We must remember that this revelation of being a "son of God" again can ONLY happen if we are born again and put on the very name of Jesus like a bride takes on the very name of her husband. Remember, Jesus was born via death. Because death made him a new creation as he defeated it and rose. This is what it means when scripture says "He was the first born of all creation!" (Colossians 1:15) So in order to be a son of God, we must be born anew, and die to our former self. We must apply the gospel message to our own life and die, being born again, as a "son of God." Being of Jesus new creation, in which came via his death is right on with James 1:18 which states: "Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures."
It's about being IN Jesus word, so that we can be a NEW CREATURE, created by him. Jesus death is what brings about this new life! This new life and Identity is only IN Jesus. (1 John 5:11, Galatians 3:16, and Galatians 3:27)
It's interesting to note that I have never seen anyone who wasn't born again understand that Jesus is the Father. This is because, until we are born again via water AND Spirit, we can only see the veil, the covering of the Son of God. (The flesh) Only when the very blood of God is applied and the very Spirit of God is made manifest can we see beyond the flesh, and beyond the veil of who Jesus truly is!
This blinding veil is sin, and the god of this world (or state of being/reality) has blinded not our vision, but our mind as stated in 2 Corinthians 4:4 Remember sin is a disease of the mind and wars upon it as stated in Romans 7:23. Only the blood of Jesus can repair this condition! This blood is applied through HIS name, Jesus. His name is spiritual and it is the word, which cannot die, it lives forever! Remember the word of God, is the only connection to the blood. If there is no word of God, there is no blood. (No story of Jesus, no blood sacrifice, no forgiveness of sin, no heaven, no love, without the Bible!)
Jesus is not only the Son of God, but God himself. (God is an invisible spirit) If you only know that Jesus is the son of God...you don't really KNOW who Jesus is. He is also the Father from creation who is a Holy Spirit. The only people who know who Jesus are they who have been born again, they worship God in Spirit and in truth. They are son's of the Most High God, who's identity is only IN Jesus! In fact, just as with Jesus, God is with and IN them! If you are God's son, you are an heir to ALL His promises.
