Sonship
Christ reveals our true identity and status as sons
“For all of you who were baptized into Christ [into a spiritual union with the Christ, the Anointed] have clothed yourselves with Christ [that is, you have taken on His characteristics and values].” Galatians 3:27 AMP
“The original life of the Father revealed in his Son is the life the Spirit now conducts within us.” Romans 8:14 Mirror Bible
“This is how we fit into God’s picture: Christ is the measure of our portion, we are in him, invented and defined in him.
God’s blueprint intention is on exhibition in us. Everything he accomplishes is inspired by the energy and intent of his affection.” Ephesians 1:11 Mirror Bible
"... as He is, so are we in this world ..."
“So now, with us awakening to our full inclusion in this love union, everything is perfect. Its completeness is not compromised in contradiction. Our confident conversation echoes this fellowship even in the face of crisis; because, as he is, so are we in this world – our lives are mirrored in him.
We are as blameless in this life as Jesus is.
This perfect love union is the source of our confidence whenever we face the scrutiny of contradiction.”
I John 4:17 Mirror Bible (https://app.mirrorword.net)
Sonship is established in a relationship with God and the ability to receive His unconditional love.
God’s heart is to restore everything back to His original intent. This will happen as we discover the reality of our position in Christ as sons of God.
Jesus is our mirror. He is our true identity which can only be found in Him. God’s original intent for us is revealed through His Son.
We are a new creation.
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.” 2 Corinthians 5: 17-19 NKJV
“And now you must repent and turn back to God so that your sins will be removed, and so that times of refreshing will stream from the Lord’s presence. And he will send you Jesus, the Messiah, the appointed one. For he must remain in heaven until the restoration of all things has taken place, fulfilling everything that God said long ago through his holy prophets.” Acts 3:19-21 TPT
The word for repent in Hebrew is metanoia and it means to change one’s mind.
Our minds need to be renewed so that we can align with God’s truth to the reality of the real world.
To step into your sonship means you have to be in agreement with God. This can only take place if your mind is renewed to what He says about you.
“Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].” Romans 12:2 AMPC
We need to get rid of all the lies of the enemy that prevents us from the life God intended for us.
“Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes.” Romans 12:2 TPT
“See yourselves co-raised with Christ. Now ponder with persuasion the consequence of your co-inclusion in him. Relocate yourselves mentally. Engage your thoughts with throne room realities where you are co-seated with Christ in the executive authority of God’s right hand.
Becoming affectionately acquainted with throne room thoughts will keep you from being distracted again by the earthly [soul-ruled] realm.
(“Set your minds upon the things that are above and not upon the things below.” RSV. Whatever you face in your daily lives, acquaint yourselves with the greater reality. The things that are above. Do not engage the energy of the things that are below.)” Colossians 3:1-2 Mirror Bible
Restoration Of All Things
The dictionary definition of restoration is:
- to bring back to a former position or condition
- reconstruction of the original form
- the act or process of returning something to its earlier good condition or position
The Biblical definition is:
- to bring back to more than what has been lost, to the point where the final condition is greater than the original state
- Improved beyond the current or previous benchmark
Restoration refers to the perfect state before the fall.
The restoration of all things is about Christ in us
“for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’”
Acts 17:28 NKJV
“To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.”
Colossians 1:27 NKJV
“… The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.” Luke 17:20-21 NKJV
“But the one who is united and joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.” 1 Corinthians 6:17 AMP
Intimacy with God is the key to wholeness and oneness.
Refreshing is found in His presence. It is through the presence of the Lord that we are being restored.
God’s original intent is that we rule over the earth
“Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over … all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion …” Genesis 1:26-28 NKJV
We are sons of God called by Him to participate in the restoration process.
“For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.” Romans 8:19 NKJV
We are royalty
“… And who knows whether you have attained royalty for such a time as this [and for this very purpose]?”
Esther 4:14 AMP
In Christ, we have been restored to God’s original intent. We have been made righteous and that means we are already worthy to access the King now.
“He made Christ who knew no sin to [judicially] be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we would become the righteousness of God [that is, we would be made acceptable to Him and placed in a right relationship with Him by His gracious lovingkindness].”
2 Corinthians 5:21 AMP
We are God’s dream
“The secret is out. His cherished love dream now unfolds in front of our very eyes.” Ephesians 1: 9 Mirror Bible
Restoration of all things starts with us being restored
“Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” I Thessalonians 5:23 NKJV
In Christ we are a new creation
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”
II Corinthians 5:17 NKJV
“Christ’s resurrection is your resurrection too. This is why we are to yearn for all that is above, for that’s where Christ sits enthroned at the place of all power, honor, and authority!
Yes, feast on all the treasures of the heavenly realm and fill your thoughts with heavenly realities, and not with the distractions of the natural realm.
Your crucifixion with Christ has severed the tie to this life, and now your true life is hidden away in God in Christ. And as Christ himself is seen for who he really is, who you really are will also be revealed, for you are now one with him in his glory!”
Colossians 3:1-4 TPT
“He associated us in Christ before the fall of the world. Jesus is God’s mind made up about us. He always knew in his love that he would present us again face-to-face before him in blameless innocence.
(The implications of the fall are completely canceled …The entire “Fall” was a falling away in our minds from our true identity as image and likeness bearers of Elohim … God found us in Christ before he lost us in Adam.
We are presented in blameless innocence before him.)”
Ephesians 1:4 Mirror Bible
“In the economy of the fullness of time, everything culminates in Christ. All that is in heaven and all that is on earth is reconciled in him. Jesus is the consummation of the ages.” Ephesians 1:10 Mirror Bible
“All human history consummates in Christ; everything that exists in heaven or earth shall find its perfection and fulfillment in him.” — Phillips. “All that is in heaven, all that is on earth, summed up in him.” — Knox.)”Ephesians 1:11 Mirror Bible

When Jesus ascended to heaven in full view of his disciples, He showed the disciples what He told them in John 14—that he was going to prepare a place for them. While Jesus literally demonstrated what He said, we have turned many of Jesus’ teachings into figurative statements instead of the literal truths they are.
What if Jesus meant “whoever lives and believes in me will never die” literally?
