Singer Lorde said that you’d never be Royal but she wrong! We were born royal.  A royal priesthood meaning a family of kings and priests under the King of Kings.  This is important because our identity determines how we live. A postman gets up every day pulls on his postie uniform and goes to the post office or gets on his bike every day because he knows he is a postman.  The policeman and the accountant live out their identity too. If you know you are a son you will act like one too. After the resurrection, Jesus said, "Mary don’t cling to me but go to my brethren...".     Brothers are family!   "Tell them I am ascending to your father my father My God your God. Jn20;17 .  Let them know we are in the same family. Through the resurrection, something absolutely astounding happened.  God Almighty increased the size of His family.  He had one Son, Jesus Christ but now his family is Jesus, Peter, Andrew, Mary, Bartholomew and you! We are brothers of Jesus - we are from the same Father.  The same way the Holy Spirit came over Mary and Christ was born in her, the Spirit of God came over us and Christ was “born” in our spirit. Christ is now in us and our hope of glory. Both Jesus and all other sons are born from above.  You are born again of incorruptible seed. (1 Peter 1.23 ) A father sheep has a baby sheep, a human father has a human baby, so if the Father is eternal and his seed is eternal then the new creation born, is eternal.  We are conceived from above and birthed from heaven. We also have the same Spirit that Jesus had.   “The son gave his spirit to all the sons” (Galatians 4.6)

Friend, we are truly children of God both literally and spiritually; so let's act out of our true identity
