Christ could work closely with God, and still can, by faith. His utter belief in God’s love for Him along with knowledge of God’s power enabled Him to do what He did rather than being any different from any other human like ourselves. Ignorance of this can make people mistakenly think Jesus was not made fully human but is somehow God in a bodily form. God gave Jesus life to have as the Son of God distinct from God Himself. Then this life became human flesh. So Jesus is both Son of God and human like us, Son of Man. God is in Him and He in God in just the same way God is in those who confess all this and they in God. So there are many sons of God. A son of God is not to be called God. Neither is Jesus to be called God. Jesus calls the Father His God. We can only hope to have this Father as our God too and our Father too through Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God. Believing all this, that is the first step in discipleship leading to permanently becoming a child of God and being freed from the kind of compulsive wrongdoing which can get a person into serious trouble and even lead to deadly results. The next step is to take on board the teachings of Jesus about how to behave rightly. Holding to these teachings is what makes a disciple. The promise of Jesus is that this disciple will know the truth and be set free from the wrongdoing by the freedom which comes from this truth. So stop that wrongdoing where possible. Learn to believe in these things and that Jesus is, that His existence is from before the world began. Believe that His living existence will be forever. Believe that He is the one mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus. Then hold to His teachings to truly be His disciple. Then, and only then, you will know the truth and be free to cease wrongdoing and live forever as a child of God.
