Daily Bread MAY/20/14 1 Corinthians 1:9 - Through the faithfulness of God we were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. God has brought us into a divine and sacred partnership with His Son. The Almighty God has poured out the sacred anointing oil upon us, and anointed us sons of God (John 1:12; 1 John 3:1, 2:20, 27). The anointing transferred upon our lives the authority and power to have all things in common with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (John 17:21-22; Colossians 1:28; 2 Corinthians 13:5; Philippians 1:21; Ephesians 5:30; John 15:4; Galatians 2:20). We were called and chosen by God to be conformed to the image of His Son - to be heirs and joint heirs with Him, and to be seated together in the place of authority with Him in the realm of the heavenlies; from where all power and rights proceed (Romans 8:17-29). We are Gods representatives in the earth, ordained to carry out the divine work of His Son. We have been honored with the sacred privilege of representing God, as those who have His nature and spiritual likeness (Ephesians 4:24; Romans 8:30; 2 Corinthians 3:6, 5:20; 2 Thessalonians 2:14; 1 John 1:3; John 20:21; 2 Corinthians 6:1). It is through the act of Gods faith (or faithfulness) that we have become sons. It is through His continual faithfulness to us that we are given the grace to be empowered, to develop into all that He has purposed us to be in Christ Jesus. God is at work in us to develop us into the full spiritual maturity of His Son Christ Jesus (Ephesians 4:13; Philippians 1:6, 2:13; 1 Thessalonians 5:24; 2 Corinthians 3:5, 9:8). Rest assured that all who have thoroughly studied the word of God agree to this: that we have been called into a sacred participation in Christs Sonship. We may also be assured that God is trustworthy, and we can count on Him to provide all that we need to accomplish all that He has purposed!
