John 1:12 But as many as received Him [Jesus Christ], to them He gave the authority to become children of God, to those who believe into His name, 1 John 5:12 He who has the Son [Jesus Christ] has the life...
We are not God's sons-in-law; we are God's sons in life. We cannot reject the life of the Son of God because it has become our very being. We have two beings: the first is the natural being that was born of our parents, and the second is the spiritual being that is born of God.
In this second being we have the life of the Son of God. According to our second being, we have not only the Spirit moving and working within us, but also the life that has become our self, not the natural self, but the spiritual self. I know that in every son of God there is both the Spirit of the Son of God and the life of the Son of God.
Because of this, there is no need for regulations. For example, there is no need to post a regulation in your home saying that your children should not eat anything bitter, but eat only things that are sweet. Because the life within every child rejects bitter things, there is no need to have regulations about bitterness.
Likewise, if we taste something that is bitter to the Son's life, we cannot pretend to be happy with it. Although we may pretend to be happy, we are not happy in the depths of our being. If we call, "Abba, Father," and live according to the life of the Son of God, we shall have joy in the depths of our being.
