God possesses within Himself all glory and worthiness to be served, and therefore, true godliness is to live unto God at all times and in all things with all that he is and is capable of performing, for He is God and by virtue of His nature this is His worthy due.
“Why have you forsaken me?” is brilliant. The Son of Man didn’t ask this for his own desire. Instead, he posed the question to make us ask in response- “how could he be abandoned?” The Father's grace was forsaken (as: wrath) from the Son; the Son still being God. This being necessary as it propitiates the Father's absolute for justice. The Son covers all sin of the flesh-- allowing the Father to be in eternal relationship with those whom he has always known. This is why God the Son is needed-- to present us without sin to Himself (God the Father). God being *perfectly good* means we too must be perfect [for this eternal relationship], and only God can perfect another. Which is completed through the Son. Brilliant.
@@jdaze1 had to make a big edit to OP, but this time I conveyed more appropriately what I felt compelled to speak. I singled out my error, too-- used the word "glory" instead of "grace." 👍
@@DogSoldier1948 I’d argue it couldn’t be prior. That being glorified is a necessary for an eternal relationship with the Father, and could only happen after resolving His necessity for sins to be propitiated for by the Christ. I appreciate your comment. It highlighted the ‘punchline’ of what’s to come for the adopted children!
Part of Jesus’ baptism, aside from fulfilling all righteousness, was because he is our high priest, he had to be baptized at the age of 30, as were Old Testament priests who were anointed at the age of 30 before they could enter the priesthood.
We have heard of the three wise men, but in this situation we have four. I do trust this quartet goes wide and far in reaching others out there.

Never happened. Hebrews 5:7, Psalm 18, 22, 41, 81.
The Father has never forsaken his Servants.

You said we must be perfect. Is that prior to being glorified.
