1 Thessalonians 5:10, Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
(Ephesians 5:1-2 KJV) (1) Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; (2) And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
(Philippians 2:5-8 KJV) (5) Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: (6) Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: (7) But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: (8) And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
John 15:15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. He became our Father in the days of His resurrection to, and glorification in, heaven. We were begotten from His seed (1 Peter 1:23), and we are thus His children and He is our heavenly Father.
For this reason Isaiah prophesied that the “Son” would be called “Father” (Isaiah 9:6), and that there would be no end to this arrangement (Isaiah 9:6-7). Thus we may rightly say that Jesus was our brother but is our Father (2 Corinthians 5:16) in the same way that He was David’s son but is David’s Lord (Matthew 22:41-46; Acts 2:34-36).
