I am a Child of God
October 27, 2024
Different families often pass along reputations and traits that identify their members. Some families are marked by red hair. My mom’s side of the family is marked by big ears, my dad’s by the boys have big “Adam’s apples.” Having God as our Father brings with it many identifying markers as well – both privileges and obligations. We receive an inheritance for our eternity and a Spirit of power for this life but we are also called to be led by the Spirit, to put to death our sinful nature and to share in His sufferings. Our identity as a child of God means that we rely fully on God and trust in His plan for our lives.
Romans 8:15-17; Ephesians 1:3-10
