The Royal Family (Part 1 and 11 )– The Spirit Of Sonship

Updated: Oct 29, 2019

The Royal Family (Part 1 and 11 )– The Spirit Of Sonship


The Holy Spirit is both "the Spirit of God" and "the Spirit of Christ." As the Spirit of Jesus, He is "the Spirit of sonship," and so takes on the role of the child. He reaches out to God the Father, calling Him, "Abba, Father." Abba is a name for God that Jesus uses when He speaks Aramaic, His home language in Palestine.Abba is the affectionate term used by young children, similar to the English "dear father" or "daddy." By using this word, Jesus shows that His relationship with the Father is warm, wonderful and intimate. He feels at home with His Father. Now the Spirit of Jesus is within us, calling to the Father in the same way, confirming us as true sons. By crying to God as "Abba," both the Spirit and we express the same kind of closeness to the Father that Jesus enjoys.




"He who unites himself with the Lord is one with Him in spirit" (1 Corinthians 6:17).


Such oneness, like the marriage union between Christ and the church, is "a profound mystery" (Ephesians 5:32). Yet we should be used to God working well beyond the grasp of our finite minds. Think about the coming of God in flesh. Do we understand how that miracle of miracles took place? In the same way, we accept the Spirit and His work as true, not because they fit our human minds, not because we can see or feel them, but because God reveals them as true. They are part of "the mystery of Christ, which was not made known to men in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God's holy apostles and prophets" (Ephesians 3:4-5).


Though Christ's love "surpasses knowledge," we try "to know" and appreciate that love (Ephesians 3:19).


We depend on the power "at work within us," though that power does "immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine" (Ephesians 3:20). In the same way, we trust that the Spirit does for us what He says He does - whether or not we see it, feel it, or fully grasp it. We walk by faith, not by sight, or by senses, or by human moods.


Long ago, God made the decision to adopt us as His children. He did that, well-knowing that we would be corrupted and condemned by our sins. Sin repels and angers God. Yet, while we were still enemies, God's adoption plan unfolded. Through His Son's death and resurrection, God opened the way for us to enter into Christ. "In Christ" we become a son like Christ. He seals this sonship by sending His Spirit to live within us. God assures us that we truly enjoy this new relationship because it depends, not on our perfection, but on His faithful promises.


Memory Verses

Ephesians 1:4-5 - "In love He predestined us to be adopted as His sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will."John 1:16 - "From the fullness of His grace we have all received one blessing after another [literally, grace on top of grace]."John 1:12-13 - "Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God - children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God."2 Corinthians 6:17-18 - "'Therefore come out from them and be separate,' says the Lord. 'Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you. I will be a Father to you, and you will be My sons and daughters,' says the Lord Almighty."Galatians 3:26-27 - "You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ."Ephesians 2:22 - "You too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by His Spirit."1 Corinthians 6:19 - "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God."


"Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name." Yes indeed, may Your name be respected as holy. Just the thought of calling You "Father" is wonderful to me. So is the thought of Your Spirit living in me. Help me to know You better as my Father...


Dear Members or Friends, True Disciples or Leaders and Rulers

Lord Jesus' first disciples included His apostles. But they were not the last disciples, for He trained them to train others.

"Make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you" (Matthew 28:19-20).

Jesus our King did not say, "Make believers." A person may have some sort of belief, but never become a disciple. Our King Jesus does not say, "Make worshipers." People may give prayers and offerings without being disciples. All disciples believe and worship, but not all 'believers' and 'worshipers' are disciples. Our savior and King Jesus commands, "Make disciples." That term, as commonly used at that time, means, "Train learners who are committed to following their Teacher's instruction and example." Lord and our healer Jesus reinforces the meaning of continuing learning by saying, "...teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you" (Matthew 28:20). Some refer to Matthew 28:20 as the second half of the Great Commission. It may be more difficult to fulfill, but it is essential for spiritual health as you "grow up in your salvation." Hearing and obeying Christ our Lord and Savior, these are like air to the disciple. To stop breathing that air is to cease being a disciple.
