Feb 15, 2023 · When we hear the gospel message, repent and confess our sins, and believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, at that moment we are born into God’s family. We become a child of God and co-heir with Christ of everything in God’s kingdom for all eternity (Ephesians 1:13–14; Romans 8:14–17).

Once we were God’s enemies, now we’re His friends. God extended His hand, His peace offering of reconciliation at the cross. Though He was the one who had been rejected, He initiated a right relationship with humanity. Reconciliation is always an option from God’s side, and becomes complete on man’s side the moment one believes the gospel. Reconcil...
We used to fit with the world, now we fit with Christ. Our old associations have changed. Where before we could identify with the flesh and the world with its philosophies, we’re now in an entirely different sphere with Christ. At salvation God baptized us by the Holy Spirit into Christ – what is true of Him became true of us. We were identified wi...
We were unholy and separated from God, now we’re holy and set apart as His. Positional sanctification is our true identity, whether we choose to live according to that holy identity or not. We’re secure as God’s special possessions, and it is on this basis that God appeals to us to live worthy of what he has made us to be. Positional sanctification...
Once we were orphans, now we have a place in God’s family and He is our Father. Adoption literally means “son placing”. Each and every believer has been accepted as children of God, and therefore have all the rights and privileges that come along with being in the family. We get to approach the holy God on familiar grounds – He is now our Abba, or ...
We were once dead in our sins, now we’re alive to righteousness. Regeneration is a change that happens within us. The Bible talks about regeneration in a few different ways; sometimes referring to us as new creations, or as people who have been reborn, or as having been resurrected and made alive in Christ. But the main idea is that of being given ...
We were alone in this world, now the Holy Spirit lives within us. The Holy Spirit’s presence within us is what makes it possible for us to say yes to God’s will. He empowers us, comforts us, and guides us. He is also a “taste” of what’s to come. He is our guarantee that God will fulfill the rest of His promises to us, complete the work He has start...
So, all this to say… a lot of profound things happened to and for us when we became children of God. All of these blessings are spiritual in nature, and can sometimes seem sort of “out there” and unable to be grasped when we first begin to study them. But as we live and keep going with Him, we’ll see God intersecting them with the nitty-gritty of o...
Jan 4, 2022 · The rewards of being a child of God are immeasurable. As God’s child, we are a part of His family (the church), promised a home in heaven, and given the right to approach God in prayer (Ephesians 2:19; 1 Peter 1:3–6; Romans 8:15). Respond to God’s call to repent of sin and believe in Christ. Become a child of God today!
Jan 4, 2022 · Children of God live in the hope of seeing Jesus face to face, and so they “purify themselves, just as he is pure” (1 John 3:3). A child of God is eager to do good works (Titus 2:14), because saving faith is a faith that changes us (James 2:14, 26). A child of God is no longer a child of the devil and no longer plays in the devil’s backyard.
In other words, if you become a child of God, you become an heir of all that God owns. All that belongs to God is your inheritance. In the resurrection everything that exists will be yours. And God will care for you forever and make you infinitely happy in his presence. But if you do not become a child of God, then there will be only judgment.
Apr 18, 2023 · God has literally changed our source, from death to life, from the Devil to God. There is nothing more radical than this. We are called New Creations. C.S. Lewis explained that we are the next stage of evolution, not physical but spiritual. We are no longer human. We are Christ in the flesh. God in you; God in me; God in a people.

“When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.” We are to leave behind childishness but embrace being childlike. Jesus desires we become like little children who are trusting and don’t doubt.
