Today we had an epic sermon delivered by Pastor Ben Fetcher. It was on the topic of Sonship in God. Here, I have shared my notes as-is.
Hebrews 1:1-2
To understand these verses we begin by dividing time i two:
- Time past
- These last days
2 tim 2:15
We have been called by God into ministry, which is for all sons of God, not some. We don't work because we want to earn sth from God but because we have been born by God to minister family business.
Where there is sonship there is fatherhood and family.
John 1 :12.
When we talk of sons, it is not subjective to gender. In the Spirit there is neither male or female.
For us to be unashamed sons, we need to understand and divide the word of truth, knowing the 2 times correctly.
2 Peter 1:12
The church should be established in the present truth. For us to be able to rightly divide and understand the times, there should be a divider of time.
The cross of Jesus is the divider of time. Here we are talking about the death resurrection and ascension of Jesus.
The last days starts where Jesus was crucified. These are the present times.
Everything in the Bible is truly stated is truly stated, but it's not true. There is the past truth and the present truth. For example the thief comes to steal and destroy but Jesus says I am come. The thief has been destroyed instead. that's the present truth
1 Peter 1:10-12
From Genesis to Malachi, the scriptures are teaching Jesus, in an unrefined form. But the prophets would not know even with research, because they were dead. Spirit things can only be spiritually discerned. There is a part of all his grace that God kept from them, an integral aspect of Himself; Sonship through Jesus Christ.
Although they were chosen by God, they didn't have access into thee inner sanctuary, because they were not the children of God, bt servants.
Colossians 1:26-27
The prophets of the past had only fragments of the truth (Hebrews 1:1TPT) God was revealing Himself bit by bit, truth upon truth. The bit-by-bit revelation was only for servants, we are now His children, and we have His Spirit and we know all truth.
He has spoken to us openly in the language of sons. He has used a language that we can understand. Jesus came to open God for us. God has brought Himself to the open for us
John 1:28 tells us that no one has seen God .....
Jesus came to bring God to the open.
Jesus became sin and was alienated from his father, so that we may be united to God as His children.
Romans 8:15 You did not receive the spirit of religious duty so that you feel not good enough and keep confessing your sins... TPT
As you confess, there is the remembrance of sin, reminiscent of Ot sacrifices.
Verse 16 The spirit makes God's fatherhood real to us as he whispers into our innermost being, " you are God's child"TPT
Hebrews 1:5-8, 14
Angels are servants; they desire to be like a born-again
Romans 8:30
Sons are being glorified. You are higher than the angels, you can command them. You share in the divine nature, you carry the glory of God. Sons carry the authority of the father. You have the power to change things around.
