1 John 3:1-2

• 1 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God![a] Therefore the world does not know us,[b] because it did not know Him. 2 Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.

Romans 8:19

• For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.

Romans 8:13-15

• 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”

2 Corinthians 6:17-19

• 17 Therefore
  “ Come out from among them
  And be separate, says the Lord.
  Do not touch what is unclean,
  And I will receive you.”[a]
  18 “ I will be a Father to you,
  And you shall be My sons and daughters,
  Says the LORD Almighty.”[b]

Galatians 4:5-7 + Definition of "Heir"

• 5 to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.
  6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” 7 Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of[a] God through Christ.

Philipians 2:14-16

• 14 Do all things without complaining and disputing, 15 that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, 16 holding fast the word of life, so that I may rejoice in the day of Christ that I have not run in vain or labored in vain.

Ephesians 3:4-6

• 4 by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ), 5 which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets: 6 that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel,

Hebrews 12:5-6

• 5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons:
  “ My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD,
  Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him;
  6 For whom the LORD loves He chastens,
  And scourges every son whom He receives.”
• Chasten -- To correct by punishment or reproof; take to task.,To restrain; subdue, To rid of excess; refine or purify

Hebrews 12:7-9 + Definition of "Chasten"

• 7 ... God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten? 8 But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons. 9 Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?

1 Corinthians 15:45-50

• 
  45 And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.”[a] The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
  46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual. 47 The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is the Lord[b] from heaven. 48 As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly. 49 And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear[c] the image of the heavenly Man.
  50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption.
• first Adam was -- living being, natural, of the earth, man of dust -- Adam
• last Adam/second Adam -- life-giving spirit, spiritual, heavenly, man is the Lord -- Jesus/ Y'Shua (the messiah)

Psalm 82 + defined and talked out God and god

• 1 God stands in the congregation of the mighty;
  He judges among the gods.[a]
  2 How long will you judge unjustly,
  And show partiality to the wicked? Selah
  3 Defend the poor and fatherless;
  Do justice to the afflicted and needy.
  4 Deliver the poor and needy;
  Free them from the hand of the wicked.
  
  5 They do not know, nor do they understand;
  They walk about in darkness;
  All the foundations of the earth are unstable.
  
  6 I said, “You are gods,[b]
  And all of you are children of the Most High.
  7 But you shall die like men,
  And fall like one of the princes.”
  
  8 Arise, O God, judge the earth;
  For You shall inherit all nations.

John 10:31-39 + definition of "Characteristic"

• 31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him. 32 Jesus answered them, “Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do you stone Me?”
  33 The Jews answered Him, saying, “For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God.”
  34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods”’?[a] 35 If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken), 36 do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’? 37 If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me; 38 but if I do, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, that you may know and believe[b] that the Father is in Me, and I in Him.” 39 Therefore they sought again to seize Him, but He escaped out of their hand.
