Success in Your Home – Part 6
Dr RJ Sing
“I write to you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for His name’s sake. 13 I write to you, fathers, because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked one. I write to you, little children, because you have known the Father. 14 I have written to you, fathers, because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the wicked one.”
The second eternal aspect of relationship within the Godhead is headship. In 1 Corinthians 11:3 (NKJV) Paul says, “I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.” In the order of the universe, we find that the headship of the Father over Christ is eternal – it has always been so.
The third eternal aspect of relationship with the Godhead is fellowship. In John 1:1 we find that Christ (the Word) is described as being from eternity with (Greek pros) God (the Father) “the Greek word means toward or face to face with.”
John 1:18 NKJV tells us that Christ was “In the bosom of the Father.” This beautifully pictures the love and mutual delight that exists between the Father and the Son, being continually maintained by the Holy Spirt as being the love relationship between the Father and the Son. Through the gospel and by the Holy Spirit, God desires to project this Divine fellowship into our lives on and in particular, into our homes.
