Thought For Today! Being Conscious that You are in God’s Class

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God (John 1:12-13).

If you’re born again, it means you’re in Christ, and if you’re in Christ, you’re a new creation—a new kind of man, existing in God’s class. That doesn’t mean you’re equal with God; it only means that you’re in His class. No wonder He calls us joint heirs (Romans 8:17), and partakers of the divine nature (2 Peter 1:4). So He remains your God and your heavenly Father; He is greater than you are, but then you can relate with Him at the same level like a child would relate with his father. If you have a child, he can relate to you like a human being, not like your dog or cat which belong in a different class.

Since you were born in the image and likeness of God, His divine life has supplanted (completely replaced) your human life and brought you into God’s realm of life. The life in you now is Zoe—the God-life! It’s not susceptible to sickness, disease, failure or death and could never be!

You’ve been lifted to God’s class. No wonder Jesus asked the Jews the point-blank question in John 10:34: “Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?” The life in you is the life of God, therefore you’re not ordinary. You’ve been born into the supernatural realm with the supernatural life of God. God’s desire is for you to be conscious of this truth and then live supernaturally every day, manifesting His glory and demonstrating His power to your world. Hallelujah!
