Our identity is found in God himself. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. (John 1:12-13)
What does it mean to be a child of God.
As we approach our earthly father with our requests, we can do likewise to our heavenly Father. This is our inheritance to have God himself as our father.
As our father, God has the final say about who we are. Irrespective of opinions and systems, Who God says we are is Who we are.
God says:
- I am a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17)
- I am an heir of God and co-heir with Christ (Romans 8:17)
- I am seated in the heavenly places with Christ (Ephesians 2:6)
- I am a citizen of Heaven (Philippians 3:20)
- I have been chosen of God,beloved and holy. (Colossians 3:12)
- I am God's handiwork (Ephesians 2:10)
The above and many more is our true identity bought by the precious blood of the lamb of God, Jesus. We are extraordinary, Children of the Most High God.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, I commit my life in your hands. Thank you for this privilege to be your child, chosen of God and partaking in His promise.
And unto Him who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we could ever ask or think, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever.
Amen!
