CHILDREN OF GOD
Freelance writer Lupie Riley
Thought: We often take family for advantage, our mom and dad, sisters and brothers who will always be there for us. I think of those who have no one who loves and cares about them. They are totally abandoned and alone. We have a friend in the nursing home that is in this circumstance. But those who have the indwelling presence of Christ in their lives are never alone. They have an enormous number of sisters and brothers who are also in the faith and that makes them family.
What is it like to be a “child of God”? That phrase does not necessarily mean we are all going to heaven like some spiritual leaders advocate today. Yes, we are all His creations under His authority and will be judged by Him some day but being a “child of God” and having the right to call him ‘Abba, Father’ is something only a born again Christian can do. God adopts them through faith in Jesus Christ (Gal. 3:26 - 4:7). Born again Christians can boldly approach God as their heavenly Father because of His indwelling (Spirit) presence that bears witness with their Spirit that we are His children, joint-heirs with Christ.
What a privilege it is to be able to call a holy and righteous God, creator and sustainer of all things, all-powerful, all-knowing, ever-present God our “FATHER” because, through Christ, we have been adopted into his family. Maranatha
Prayer: Father God, what a great blessing it is to address you as my Father because of what Jesus accomplished on the cross. That curtain was torn opening the way back to you for all those who put their faith in Christ who is the only way, truth and life. Amen
Verse: John 1:12, I John 3:1-3 “ But to all who received him, he gave the right to become children of God. All they needed to do was to trust him to save them. V. 3:1-3 “See how very much our heavenly Father loves us, for he allows us to be called his children—think of it-and we really are! But since most people don’t know God, naturally they don’t understand that we are his children. Yes, dear friends we are already God’s children, right now and we can’t even imagine what it is going to be like later on. But we do know this, that when he comes we will be like him, as a result of seeing him as he really is. And everyone who really believes this will try to stay pure because Christ is pure.”
