About this episode

Rev. Dr. Stephen N. Gapson discusses the concept of believers' identity as beloved children of God through Christ.

In “Beloved Son,” Rev. Dr. Stephen N. Gapson teaches that God’s desire in redemption is to reveal Himself as Father and bring believers into the same sonship relationship revealed in Christ. Because believers have been placed in Christ, knowing Christ becomes essential to understanding who we are. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus dealt with sin, the curse, shame, sickness, and condemnation, rising victoriously as the first begotten from the dead. Everything accomplished in Christ becomes the believer’s inheritance because His identity is now our identity. Rev. Dr. Stephen emphasizes that just as the Father declared over Jesus, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased,” believers can live conscious that they too are beloved and pleasing to the Father because they are in Christ. Our confidence is therefore not based on personal performance, but on what Christ has accomplished. As God’s beloved children, we can expect heavenly advantage, provision, support, and supply, knowing the heavens are open unto us and our Father cares for us.
