KEY SCRIPTURE: Heb 2:10 KJV” For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.”

In our last study, I made a statement that when a man is born into Christ, he is transfigured into the very status of our Lord Jesus. Some have asked what this statement means. What kind of status of the Lord are we talking about? Before I get into the nitty-gritty of this matter, I would like to establish that our heavenly Father did not send the Lord Jesus to gather followers for Himself. He came to raise a family for the father.
People who are like Him in every way. We were not enlisted into the association of believers in Jesus, but were born into Him. The scriptures said that as many as believed in Him were given the power to become sons of God. Our birth as sons of God placed us in the family where our father is the almighty God. Heb 2:11 KJV For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren. This verse means we and the Lord Jesus are from one Father. He calls us His brethren.

Now our key scripture teaches us that the Lord has brought many sons into glory. He did this through His death and resurrection. We were planted together with Him and raised together into the same glory. Romans 6:5. Now Romans 8:30 shows us how He did it. Rom 8:30 KJV Moreover, whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. Please note that our glorification with Christ in this context has already taken place. It is this state of glorification that has brought us into the status of our master Jesus.

What does it mean to be glorified? We can understand it by considering the glorification of our Lord Jesus. To be glorified is to be honoured, given authority, power and beauty. Rev 5:12 KJV” Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.” This place is what believing in Jesus has brought us into..We are partakers of this glory. Please note that the Lord as God was already glorified. The glory and honour were won because of us. This has made us superior to demons, sin, sicknesses and all the works of darkness.

THOUGHT: JESUS RECEIVED GLORY TO BE SHARED WITH US
