Experience Christ as our Redemption to be Transfigured in our Body with His Divine Life
![And not only [so,] but we ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan in ourselves, eagerly awaiting sonship, the redemption of our body. Rom. 8:23](https://i0.wp.com/agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/And-not-only-so-but-we-ourselves-also-who-have-the-firstfruits-of-the-Spirit-even-we-ourselves-groan-in-ourselves-eagerly-awaiting-sonship-the-redemption-of-our-body-1.jpg?fit=300%2C169&ssl=1)

If we connect Rom. 1:3-4 with Rom. 8:29 we realize that, just as Christ was designated the Son of God out of the resurrection from the dead by the Spirit of holiness, so we today are in the process of being designated sons of God by being conformed to the image of Christ, God’s firstborn […]

Christ is Firstborn Son of God & we’re God’s many Sons being Conformed to His Image
In His resurrection, Christ as the only begotten Son of God from eternity, was begotten by God to become the firstborn Son of God, and at the same time we as the many believers in Christ were born to be the many sons of God, who are now being conformed to the image of Christ. […]
Christ’s Resurrection was His Birth as the Firstborn Son of God in His Humanity
The Apostle Paul saw the Lord’s resurrection in Psa. 2:7 and quoted this verse when he preached the gospel in Acts 13, for he realized that resurrection was a birth to the Lord Jesus – He was begotten by God to be His firstborn Son in His humanity in His resurrection. Hallelujah! How wonderful is […]
Christ is the Seed of David and the Son of God for our Experience and Enjoyment
