Moment of Meditation: Sons of God (Genesis 6:1-2)
Manage episode 333651397 series 3086314
When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. (Genesis 6:1-2)
“There was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them” (Job 1:6). The “sons of God” are the angels. As we come to the Flood, these are likely the angels who fell with Satan. That is the best description of these, especially as we will see in a few days.
But Jesus turns changes things. “For in Christ you are all sons of God, through faith” (Galatians 3:26). Your sonship comes through your Baptism. Whether you are male or female, you are considered a son of God because historically only sons received the inheritance. Since Baptism gives everyone the inheritance of faith, everyone who has been baptized—whether male or female—is called a son of God.
Being a son, you receive the inheritance of Heaven. Which is what God has wanted from even the creation of man. The inheritance restored for all who look forward to everlasting life in Heaven. Amen.
