If human beings were said to be servants of God in heaven, it would have been the greatest honor conferred on man. Yet God the Father did something even greater than that, through Jesus Christ he made it possible for each and every human being to be brought into son-ship. John the Apostle writing about God’s love towards man wrote; “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God” (1 John 3:1).
Angels are his servants, they enjoy the benefit of being citizens of heaven, they are blessed for being his creatures, but when it came to human beings God showed the greatest love which had never before been conferred on any creature, he made man his son.
Son-ship means 2 things; First it means we are heirs of everything he owns. Romans 8:17 says, now if we are children, then we are heirs--heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ. Whatever God owns belongs to us, Halleluiah.......! This is one of the blessings which comes with the salvation of Jesus Christ.
Secondly son-ship means God gave birth to us, John 1:12-13 says, anyone who believes in Jesus Christ is not born of human sperm. 1 Peter 1:23 says to be born again means to be born of God Sperm (seed). Therefore, when we confess the Lordship of Jesus Christ over our lives (Romans 10:9), we are immediately catapulted into salvation, and his seed replaces the human speed in our spirits. His DNA (life) replaces the human DNA (life) and you become exactly as he is. Everything that makes him God, all his attributes, qualities and perfections are transferred into every born again man or woman through the Holy Spirit, you become as he is. 1 John 4:17 says; as he is, so are we in this world.
