Children and sons of God

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.
Romans 8:14, 16

Children and sons of God
Through faith in the Lord Jesus, we have become children and sons of God. Both relate to our personal relationship with our God and Father but contain a special blessing.

– As a result of the new birth that the Holy Spirit worked in us at conversion, we have received eternal life. Now we are children of God and know Him as our Father. As a result, we know we are loved by Him: “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!” (1 John 3:1). The Father’s love awakens in us the confidence to come to Him with all our joys and sorrows. The Lord Jesus encourages us to do so with the words, “Whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you” (John 16:23).

– At conversion, God also adopted us as His sons by sealing us with the Holy Spirit. Because we are sons of God and the Spirit dwells within us, we are able to understand the thoughts of our heavenly Father. He opens His heart to us to show us what is precious and important to Him: it is His beloved Son on whom His gaze rests with pleasure. How pleased the Father is when He can have fellowship with us about His Son Jesus Christ! What a privilege to share with the Father our joy in the Lord Jesus!

Today’s reading: Genesis 26:1-17 · Psalms 10:12-18

Grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
(2 Peter 3:18)

God in His grace has centered every blessing for us in Christ. Without Christ, we have nothing, nothing but our sins; with Christ we have all things, and therefore want nothing in addition to Christ. As...More

SPIRITUAL WARFARE I

When we are told to put on the whole armour of God, one thing becomes clear instantly. This is the fact that there is a God. We cannot be talking of the armour of God if there is no God. Anyone who thinks that there is no God is a fool (Psalm 14:1). You have to pray that God would reveal Himself to you. The...More
