When we find ourselves and sons of God it reveals privileges we would never find any other way. Whether we are men or women, we are all to think like sons of God. 1 John 3:1, 2 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. What a high relationship is that of a son, and what privileges it brings! What care and tenderness the son expects from his Father, and what love the Father feels towards the son.

here is no way we can ever discover all the riches of the Lord’s richness. For over a week I've been thinking about this verse: "Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ" (Ephesians 3:8 KJV).
The unsearchable, unending, unlimited, and mysterious riches of Christ. This is truly the beauty of mystery. I love the word "mystery"-it means secret. It implies that we get the honor to search the heart of God for revelation. This verse and these thoughts are truly making me hunger for more.
Proverbs 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.
Of course, this mystery of the endless treasures of who and what we are refer to the mystery of the Gospel. Imagine the full wealth and knowledge of the cross. Grace will never end. It makes me hunger and long to know more. Who can fully comprehend that He is mindful of us? We are born again (renewed) and blessed with every spiritual blessing in Christ. Think about the glory of the resurrection-walking with God and miracles. These are some of the great mysteries of the gospel, and there are many more.
You could study for all of eternity on the beauty, mystery, power, mercy, and majesty of the cross and it would not be enough! It is unsearchable! At the same time, we have the Mind of Christ. What is even more amazing is that God wants to share His mysteries, even secrets of the universe, with us. This is the purpose of intimacy and fellowship with His Spirit. We have the Spirit of wisdom and revelation dwelling inside of us to reveal the truths of the Gospel! Wow!!
Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
One of the greatest mysteries is "Christ in you, the hope of glory" (Colossians 1:27).
Another great mystery revealed in Christ and the Father are “hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge" (Colossians 2:3).
I love this thought about the mystery of godliness or to be God-in likeness.
1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
I love the true key to godliness-it is God manifested in our flesh. When we surrender fully to the Holy Spirit, He will manifest Jesus in us and we will have His likeness (Godliness).
Ephesians 3:6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
I think the greatest gift of the Holy Spirit is found in this promise in the gospel of Matthew.
Matthew 13:11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
That means we can know the "mystery of His will" (Ephesians 1:9,11). We make the mystery of His kingdom known. We can also know and search out the mystery of the resurrection (I Corinthians 15:51). There is a beauty in searching and discovering the unsearchable riches of Christ.
In all of our preaching the glorious mysteries and riches of Christ, let us remember the glory of the cross

hen we find ourselves as Sons of God it reveals privileges we would never find any other way. Whether we are men or women, we are all to think like sons of God.
1 John 3:1, 2 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
What a high relationship is that of a Son, and what privileges it brings! What care and tenderness the son expects from his Father, and what love the Father feels towards the Son.
In fulfillment of Christ's prayer, "I have declared unto them Thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith Thou hast loved Me may be in them" (John 17:26 KJV). Take a look at this powerful quote, "The Spirit is given to His redeemed to signify the sameness of the Father's love unto His Son and unto His sons. Thus, the inhabitation of the Spirit in the Christian is both the surest sign of God's fatherly love and the proof of his adoption."
We need to think like sons. We are joint heirs with Christ. Because we are sons, we have the Spirit of His Son assuring us of our salvation and royal inheritance (Galatians 4:6-7).
Think about being a Son, which means to occupy a place in God's family in which He loves us just as much as He loves His only begotten Son. It means we have a place in God's family just as eternal and secure as His only begotten Son.
Before we can fully understand our rights and privileges as an adopted Sons and Daughters of God, let's take a look again at what true adoption was in Roman times when Paul used the word.
Under Roman law a child could not possess anything, and any inheritance willed to him or a gift given to him became the property of the father. So it was a serious step to take a child out of one family and put him another. The ritual of adoption must have been very impressive.
Twice, the real father "sold" his son, and twice he bought him back. Finally, he sold him a third time and at the third sale, he did not buy him back. After this, the adopting father had to go one of the principal Roman magistrates, and plead the case for the adoption. And only after all this had been gone through was the adoption complete. But when the adoption was complete, it was complete indeed. The person who had been adopted had all the rights of a legitimate son in his new family and completely lost all rights in his old family. Furthermore, all of his old debts were considered paid-he was a new person.
We don't live like peasants when we know His love. A child of the kingdom does not live as a slave of the world. We now respond to God in love as a Father, not a Master. We want to be like Him because He loves us, not out of fear of judgment. We are friends of God, not servants.
Our motive for ministry as Sons is never selfish-ambition, competition, and pride. A Son has the nature of his Father, a servant and slave do not. Servants have no future and obey out of fear not love. Sons are rich and servants are poor. Sons have fathers where servants have masters. God calls us friends.
Joh 15:15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
Sonship means we move out of the resting assurance that our Father is pleased with us. A true revelation of the idea of spiritual adoption is that God chose, purchased, and predestined us in His love to be a Son. This is the key to being accepted and secure in our identity. We are Sons.
A servant doesn't know his Master's will and has to be told what to do. He relates to God on the basis of what he does. If he does well, he thinks God loves him more. Someone who thinks like a slave will take liberty from serving. A Son finds liberty in serving. A Son relates to God on the basis of the Father's love first shown to him (see 1 John 4:19). A servant waits on God. A Son does what he sees his Father doing (John 5:19).
The Bible goes on to say,
Joh 5:20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
A servant does not know what his Master is doing, but friendship and intimacy is key to seeing what the Father does. A revelation of the depth of the Father's love is key to receiving revelation of His purpose and will. We do the works of the Father as Sons, not because we have to but because we want to. As true Sons of the Father, we must be able to say to the world, "Watch my life. Listen to what I say. See the works I do. It's all about my Father."
We see clearly from the Gospel of John that Jesus was moved by His intimacy with the Father. If we wish to understand what motivated and guided Jesus day by day, then we must examine the intimate relationship He had with our heavenly Father. We too can think and act like sons.
John 5:19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
John 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
John 7:16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
John 8:16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
John 8:26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.
Joh, 8:28, 29 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
John 8:38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
John 8:40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
John 12:49, 50 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
John 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
John 14:24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
Jesus was operating out of a close, intimate relationship with the Father. The words He spoke, the miracles He performed, and the places He went were not random, but were ordained by heaven.
Look at the last phrase of Romans 8:17:
Romans 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
God is making us mature Sons. Sonship is properly speaking the pinnacle of human nature and the full expression of the image of God, with which we have been endowed. Jesus, as the Son of the Father, is thus truly and fully what a human being was created to be. Our Sonship will be nothing other than full conformity to His image!
