If I become a true follower of Christ then yes of course I already existed, I am not sure about becoming a son of God, unless it is meant in the concept of Father and His earthly subjects and being part of God's family and being a son in that sense?.
You don't
follow Christ until
AFTER you become a son of God, and without faith, it is impossible to be a son of God.
The bible says your righteousness is not your own. Neither is your salvation.
When you act on the truth of the gospel, and receive Jesus personally, He will take of His Spirit and put it within you. The bible calls that same said spirit, which is of the Holy Ghost/Spirit, a seed. A seed is another word for offspring or child, but it is an extension of the parent.
Because of that righteous spirit, seed, or offspring from the Holy Spirit was put in your heart. And because that same said spirit that was put in your heart is a part of God and is a child of God, and because your heart is a part of you, you were made a child of God. But in order for you to receive this new spirit of His, first, God had to remove the old stony heart out of your flesh and give you a new or fresh heart of flesh. But He didn't stop there.
Though God did remove the old heart and give a new one in its place, He did not remove the old spirit man, that has the nature of the devil in him, because it has a part of the devil in him.
So for you to become like God, God gave you a new or fresh wine skin/spirit man to hold the fresh, new, righteous, pure, holy spirit/wine that came from the Holy Spirit. Ezek 36:26-27.
To put it another way, God removed the old heart, and put a new one in its place, with a new spirit man within that new heart. The new spirit man houses the spirit that is OF and FROM the Holy Spirit. The new spirit man within your heart is the temple in which the new righteous spirit of God abides. It is like the building within the temple that was divided into two rooms by a curtain. One room was called the holy place, and on the other side of the curtain or vale, was the Holy of Holies or the Holiest of All. It is a figure of the Holy Spirit abiding within the man. The bible refers us to the temple, saying that we are the temple of the Holy Ghost. The inner part of that temple is the new spirit man that has within him a part of the Holy Spirit. This is how we have the nature of God. This is why we become like Him. It is because of His spirit that He put within us.
Because some interpret from Holy Scripture that Jesus the Son of God had a prehuman existence. Some say that Jesus himself said at John 6:38 that Jesus came down from heaven not to do his own will but to do the will of Him who sent Jesus and that Him is refering to God and not Jesus. And at John 8:23 Jesus said “You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world. Therefore the prehuman existence. I am from my biological parents and they created me, Jesus was conceived through Holy Spirit, some say mary was able to conceive Jesus without having had intercourse with Joseph the adoptive or earthly father of Jesus.
Not prehuman, but preGod.
Jesus wasn't saying that He was a human being before, but that He existed before He became a human being or natural man.
If Jesus was conceived from Joseph, He could not be of God. But the seed that was put in Mary's womb was of the Holy Ghost, who is the Spirit of God. And know it or not, but the Spirit of God came out of and from Jesus, the heart of God.
I am a single man not a triune being, the concept of the tinity is confusing at times. It is like someone saying that YHWH or Yaweh or Jehovah is the Almighty God, that Jesus is Yaweh or the Almighty Jehovah God and the Holy Spirit is a person? that all these three entities are not three seperat entities but only One person, but the way Scripture is written it is very confusing, why would the Almighty God prey to Himself? how can the Almighty God of all creation die?
Think about a whole pizza that has been cut into smaller pieces. Didn't the smaller pieces of the pizza exist the same time the whole pizza did? And did the smaller pieces become any less of a pizza than the whole pizza before it was cut.
With God, there is the head. That would be the Father. I believe He just subdivided Himself, yet still is one God, even as you have three men in you, and yet are one man. We are so united with the other parts of us, that most people don't even recognize the voices of the other two in there. They only see themselves as one being.
So there is only One true God, why would the Almighty One True God call himself the Son of God, why the confusion? what if (YHWH Yaweh Jehovah) is the One true Almighty God, Jesus Christ (Son of God) and the (Holy Spirit) are all three seperate entities? although what really is the Holy Spirit is it the active force of the only One true God?
Even as you have a heart, God has a heart.
Even as your heart is a part of you, though you don't recognize it yet, so is the Heart of God a part of Himself.
Even as your heart is a man, looks like, thinks, reasons, has intentions of its own, sees, hears, and talks like you do, God's Heart looks like, thinks, reasons, has intentions of its own, sees, hears, and talks as He does.
God the Father is just the Head, even as you, the soul, are the head when you are consciously awake and aware of what you are doing.
