1 | the Father sees us as the His Son-- vers | NT general | Mick R | 242551 | ||
Quite often a person trying to provide solace for someone who's lost a parent or child will say, "You now have an angel/your angel looking over you" Scripture says we take on the "Body of Christ" and the Father sees us as the His Son-- I'm looking for that Bible verse and I'm stumped... Can you help? |

2 | the Father sees us as the His Son-- vers | NT general | DocTrinsograce | 242552 | ||
Hi, Mick... Welcome to the forum! I believe there are a number of places that we see the sense of the Father seeing us as His Son. Before I begin, I thought I should comment that I have never found platitudes to make a difference when someone is grieving. The very best thing that a believer can do is to grieve with the bereaved (Romans 12:15). The fundamental doctrine you are asking about is called double imputation. You see we are desperate straights, for we have earned God's wrath. We have been His enemy. We affirm our rebellion by our words and by our actions. The only way for us to appease a perfectly Holy God, is eternal death in Hell. However, God had mercy on some men by sending His Son -- a man who was perfect in word, deed, thought, emotion, and nature -- to die on Calvary. In so doing, Christ suffered the equivalent of an eternity in Hell for each of those who belong to God (from the foundation of the world), up through the very last one. In justification (a part of salvation) our sin is imputed to Christ, just as if He had done them. He pays the price fully for us and all our sin. Yet there is another problem. In order to come close to God we must be utterly holy. Consequently, Christ's righteousness is imputed to us, just as if we had always and ever lived that way! Thus, in the eyes of God, we look just like the Son. Here are some passage you can read that will bear out what I have said: Philippians 3:8-9; Romans 5:17; Isaiah 61:10; 2 Corinthians 5:18-21; Jeremiah 23:6; Isaiah 53:5; Zechariah 3:4-5; Matthew 5:17-20; Romans 4:6-8; Romans 5:10-21; Galatians 4:4-5; 2 Peter 1:1; 1 Corinthians 1:30; and there are many more! I hope that this explanation will be helpful for you. In Him, Doc |
