Day 36 "You Are A Child Of God"
Precious in His Sight
Hello Beauties!
“See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!” 1 John 3:1 NIV
Hallelujah! Praise God! Can I get an Amen? Oh how I love this verse, this promise. It proclaims our true identity in Christ in a bold, indisputable way!
You ARE a Child of God!! What does that mean to you? How do you respond when meeting someone new and they inquire, “tell me about yourself.” Is Child of God the first thing you think of, or do you immediately share your job title? Do you feel the need to rattle off your list of credentials? What you do is just that, it’s the job or duties you perform. It’s not who you are as a person. There’s a big difference.
If you met me for the first time, how would you respond when I request, “tell me about yourself.” Selah.
Let’s take a look at God’s Word and more wisdom about our identity as Children of God.
“Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live. For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.” Romans 8:12-17 NIV
What words or sections of this passage were illuminated for you? Pray God continues to reveal your identity as his child. Selah.

“Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.”
