What it Means to Be a Son of Yahweh

To be born out of Yahweh means that your sins are forgiven, that you got a new life with Yahweh and Yeshua, and you are a partaker of the new covenant. But it means also that you are going to develop special qualities. When you have all these qualities, you will be a son or daughter of Yahweh. 

If you don't have all of these qualities but you believe in Yeshua, your sins are forgiven and you are a partaker of the new covenant, you will still be welcome in Yahweh’s Kingdom. At least when you are willing to love and to obey Yahweh and Yeshua. 

We're going to read some verses out of the Bible that shows these qualities. 

We start with: 

1 John 3:9

No one who is born of Yahweh practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of Yahweh.

And we read:

1 John 5:18

We know that no one who is born of Yahweh sins; but He who was born of Yahweh keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him. 

Because Yeshua is in us, we can't sin. Yeshua is the one who thinks, speaks and acts in you. That's why you can't sin. Yeshua keeps you, that is why evil can't touch you anymore. But in practice we discover that not all our flesh died. That we didn't say no to the lust of the flesh. Or worse that we do wrong things that we don't want to give up. This means that you are a very young child from Yahweh who didn't learn to kill the flesh. Or you are a stubborn child who disobey. Yeshua and His Father are very very patient, but they expect that you grow. When you are unwilling to grow, you must not forget that a sinner doesn't come in Yahweh’s Kingdom. Let us read a very serious warning for children who don't want to grow. We’re going to read:

Hebrews 6:1-8

Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Messiah, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward Yahweh, of instruction about washings and laying on of hands, and the resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment. And this we will do, if Yahweh permits. For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of Yahweh and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of Yahweh and put Him to open shame. For ground that drinks the rain which often falls on it and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a blessing from Yahweh; but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is worthless and close to being cursed, and it ends up being burned.

If you're like a ground that gets regarly rain and bring forth bad fruits, you will be not welcome in Yahweh’s Kingdom. The second death will be your destiny. 

When you are willing to grow, you will one day discover that sinning is not your habit anymore. It disappears out of your life because Yeshua takes over more and more in you. It's a process. Don't expect a sudden change. It takes time. When Yeshua has full control, you are mature. 

The second quality we find in:

1 John 2:29

If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone also who practices righteousness is born of Him.

Yahweh is righteous. Yeshua is righteous. When you are born out of Yahweh you are also righteous. Because Yeshua's nature becomes your nature. 

We're now going to read some verses about the third and fourth quality. We read:

1 John 5:1

Whoever believes that Yeshua is the Messiah is born of Yahweh, and whoever loves the Father loves the child born of Him.

The third quality is that you believe that Yeshua is the Messiah and that He is born of Yahweh. That you believe that He is the Son of Yahweh.

The fourth quality is that you love Yahweh and His Son Yeshua. 

We read also:

1 John 5:4-5

For whatever is born of Yahweh overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Yeshua is the Son of Yahweh?

The third quality is that you believe that Yeshua is the Son of Yahweh. This quality helps you to overcome the world. You overcome the world when you do not conform to the standards of this world. But instead, you follow Yeshua as His disciple and you conform to the standards of Yahweh's Kingdom. 

The fifth and last quality is found in the next verse that we’re going to read. We read:

1 John 4:7

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from Yahweh; and everyone who loves is born of Yahweh and knows Yahweh.

The fourth quality is that you love Yahweh, the Father and His son Yeshua. But when you are born out of Yahweh, you also have to love one another. You love your brothers and sisters. You love the heathens. And you even love your enemies. 

That you even have to love your enemies, we are going to read now. We read:

Matthew 5:44-45

But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

This is Yeshua who is teaching. He tells us to love our enemies and to pray for the ones who persecute us. Yeshua even says that it's something you have to do if you want to be born out of Yahweh and want to be a son of Yahweh. It's the highest level of love.
