Jesus was the Kingdom of God exposed to mankind. In Jesus, the Kingdom was observed (Matt.12:28). In Jn.1:14The Message version puts it 
like this: “The Word became flesh and blood, and moved into the neighborhood. We saw the glory with our own eyes, the one-of-a-kind glory, like Father, like Son, Generous inside and out, true from start to finish.” Though the Father was sitting upon a throne in heaven, He could be seen in the earth in Jesus as He interacted with His environment. (Jn.20:21b) Jesus said, “…as the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” There are people in our neighborhoods and at our jobs and in our families who need to see the Father through us. We are praying you discover daily that your life is reflecting Jesus. (Marty’s Daily Discovery as heard on TEXAS PRAISE RADIO at the bottom of the hour 24hrs/day.) www.txpraise.com

(Kathy G.) We cannot lose sight of the “sonship” priority during the process. Religions and cultures and philosophies can train people to be good and do good stuff without being a son, but if you put that kind of regimen without relationship in a bowl and add a lifetime of effort and consistency and sacrifice, you will still come up short of the glory of God. If our identity gets attached to our works and then accomplishments become the measure of our worth and merit, (instead of righteousness being a gift from God), we fall short of the glory of God. Bringing sons to glory pivots on the Father-son relationship, not regimen and rules and works.

We can see God addressing the three-legged design of basic human needs in the three questions He asked Adam:
1> The first question was, “Adam where are you?” Where is the identity that had us as Father-to-son, face-to-face, yesterday, but today has you hiding? After Adam ate of the tree, when he looked at himself, his mirror was cracked. He was fragmented and his self-image was scarred. If you think that mess-ups in your life can de-daughter or de-son you, your identity is too fragile, and it is not rooted in relationship with your Heavenly Father. The first shot the devil took in the wilderness was at Jesus’ identity when he said, “If you are God’s Son.” Jesus was so confident of His identity and unshakeable relationship with the Father that Satan couldn’t tempt Him to even try to prove it by turning stones to bread. The key to sound identity is that it be rooted in relationship with God.
