Sons and Daughters of the Living God (3)

Thursday, July 30: Hebrews 2:9 – 18

            Pay particular attention to verses 10 – 13. What do you see?

            In verse 10 we see that it is our Father’s purpose to bring many sons to glory. Not slaves, not miserable sinners, not second or third-class citizens, not employees – but sons.

            In verse 11 we see that He [Jesus Christ] who makes holy, and those [us] who are made holy [sanctified] are all from one Father – therefore since Jesus Christ and His brothers are all from one Father, Jesus Christ is not ashamed to call us His brothers!

            When most of us think of the word “salvation” we think of our sins being forgiven, but that is only the threshold or foyer of salvation – the Biblical view of salvation is all encompassing – having our sins forgiven is a means to an end and when we make it the “end” the “goal” we miss our destiny in Christ.
