WE ARE GOD’S CHILDREN IN FLESH AND BLOOD

he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,

Ephesians 1:5-7 ESV

OUR theme is very deep and stunning. Just as in Genesis 2:22, God made a woman out of a man. In the same way, our theme is telling us that God adopted us as His beloved children through Christ. So all the love He has for His son , He bestowed upon us. As He is, so are we. All the sin that made us fall short of this glory, has been paid for by His blood so nothing can neutralize His love for us. This way, we are exactly as His beloved Son, His image and likeness. As He is healthy, prosperous in all things, so are we in this world.

This is similar to St. Paul's plea to Philemon for Onesimus, I mentioned this in one of my previous devotionals. “ So if you consider me your partner, receive him as you would receive me. If he has wronged you at all, or owes you anything, charge that to my account.” (Philemon 1:17-18 ESV) WE have full acceptance in the beloved. We are God’s children in flesh and blood!

WE BLESS YOU HEAVENLY FATHER FOR WE ARE NOW YOUR CHILDREN PRAISEWORTHY AND EXALTED IS YOUR NAME FOREVER IN JESUS NAME AMEN!

THANK YOU JESUS!
