In Genesis 1:27,God created man in His own image however, in Genesis 3:1-24 we learn that, man fell from the position God intended for him and indirectly lost contact with his maker and inheritance. Since then, earth and all of creation have been waiting for the manifestation of the Sons of God, the restoration of his departed glory and the removal of every curse placed on him due to sin. In Romans 8:14 it says, “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God”. Therefore, the Sons of God are people who are willing to give their lives to Christ and to “take the bull by the horn” from the time they are entered into the kingdom of God at salvation until they become a reflection of the Son of God.
For us to manifest as Sons of
God, we have to rid ourselves of selfish desires, purging ourselves of
worldliness and embracing Jesus’ kind of love. We must love each other without
barriers, and attain spiritual maturity. As Christians, this scripture applies
to us because we must strive in all that we do to be like Christ and to achieve
the glory of being called into his everlasting rest. Corinthians 2:9 says,
‘But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into
the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for those who love him”’.
This encapsulates why we must work hard in having a Christ-like character to
truly manifest as Sons of God.
