This gives us scriptural warrant <strong>to</strong> say <strong>the</strong><br />

sons <strong>of</strong> <strong>God</strong> are believers. And <strong>in</strong>deed, <strong>the</strong><br />

overwhelm<strong>in</strong>g majority <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> uses <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

phrase unquestionably refer <strong>to</strong> believers or<br />

<strong>God</strong>'s Covenant people. And those few<br />

passages <strong>in</strong> which it can be said <strong>to</strong> be<br />

questionable, when studied carefully, <strong>the</strong>y are<br />

referr<strong>in</strong>g <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> people <strong>of</strong> <strong>God</strong> also.<br />

By contrast, <strong>the</strong>re is no authoritative use <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> phrase "<strong>Sons</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>God</strong>" for Angels <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Bible. Why <strong>the</strong>n should we listen <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

suppositions <strong>of</strong> men, when we have <strong>the</strong><br />

unadulterated word <strong>of</strong> <strong>God</strong> <strong>to</strong> exegete .<br />

All <strong>God</strong>'s covenant people are spoken <strong>of</strong> as<br />

<strong>the</strong> sons, or <strong>the</strong> children <strong>of</strong> <strong>God</strong>. This is <strong>the</strong><br />

phrase that <strong>God</strong> has signified <strong>to</strong> identify those<br />

who are <strong>of</strong> His family. Angels don't qualify. It<br />

is by <strong>the</strong> blood <strong>of</strong> Christ that true believers<br />

become sons <strong>of</strong> <strong>God</strong> !.<br />

1 st John 3: 1.<br />

• "Behold, what manner <strong>of</strong> Love <strong>the</strong> Fa<strong>the</strong>r hath bes<strong>to</strong>wed upon us, that we should be called <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>Sons</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>God</strong>:..."<br />

All <strong>God</strong>'s people are <strong>Sons</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>God</strong>. Look<strong>in</strong>g all through <strong>the</strong> scriptures, we see over and over aga<strong>in</strong>, that<br />

those who are believers, <strong>God</strong> assigns <strong>the</strong> title, "<strong>Sons</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>God</strong>". So <strong>the</strong>re really is no mystery <strong>in</strong> Genesis<br />

chapter 6 except <strong>the</strong> one that some people seek <strong>to</strong> create for <strong>the</strong>ir own purposes. <strong>The</strong>se sons <strong>of</strong> <strong>God</strong><br />

<strong>were</strong> <strong>the</strong> children <strong>of</strong> <strong>God</strong> (believers) <strong>of</strong> that day. <strong>God</strong> is a Fa<strong>the</strong>r <strong>to</strong> all His people. This is why He called<br />

<strong>the</strong> nation Israel His son. It was an outward representation (was a type <strong>of</strong>) <strong>the</strong> true body <strong>of</strong> Christ. And<br />

<strong>the</strong> Children/<strong>Sons</strong> <strong>of</strong> Israel represented Christ, His true Son <strong>of</strong> Israel !.<br />

Exodus 4: 22.<br />

• "And thou shalt say un<strong>to</strong> Pharaoh, Thus saith <strong>the</strong> Lord, Israel is my son, even my firstborn".<br />

Hosea 11: 1.<br />

• "When Israel was a child, <strong>the</strong>n I loved him, and called my son out <strong>of</strong> Egypt".<br />

Mat<strong>the</strong>w 2: 15.<br />

• "And was <strong>the</strong>re until <strong>the</strong> death <strong>of</strong> Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Lord<br />

by <strong>the</strong> prophet, say<strong>in</strong>g, Out <strong>of</strong> Egypt have I called my Son".<br />

Christ was <strong>the</strong> true Son that <strong>the</strong> sons or children <strong>of</strong> Israel looked forward <strong>to</strong>. <strong>The</strong>se are <strong>the</strong> spiritual<br />

th<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Lord which many <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> Church do not understand. All scripture is consistent with itself,<br />

and flows <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>r like a gigantic spiritual picture puzzle, with every piece <strong>in</strong> place. We are true sons <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>God</strong>, children <strong>of</strong> Israel, only because <strong>of</strong> Christ. For He is <strong>the</strong> lamb that was sla<strong>in</strong> from <strong>the</strong> foundation <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> earth. In o<strong>the</strong>r words, His a<strong>to</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g efficacy reaches from Abel, <strong>to</strong> those who are saved <strong>to</strong>day.
