The Family of GOD

The Family of GOD
See ^[a]how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. ² Beloved, now we are children of God, 1 John 3:1-2 NAS

The bible teaches you have to be spiritually birth into the family of GOD. Many say we are all children of GOD, but the truth is we may ALL be creatures of GOD but we are not ALL children of GOD, until first we are saved and born again.  Jesus said marvel not or wonder not, that you must be born again. The famous missionary once asked by a worldly scoffer, why do you preach you must be born again, and the wise missionary said, sir, it's because you must be born again !!


But once we are saved and born-again, we become part of the Family of GOD.


So first as a being part of the Family of GOD, we have an identification, we are identified as being children of GOD in this world.  It speaks of our relationship to Him, as He is our spiritual Father. Even our Heavenly Father, and we should look to him, listen to Him and love Him. It should be  spiritual a natural thing to you. Then  identication speaks of our resemblances to Him. We should walk in his ways, we should speak of His word and learn of His wisdom.


Then secondly, being a part of the family of GOD, means we have an occupation. We will want to serve, shout, sing and share the gospel to others seeking Him. Jesus was in the temple as a young lad of a boy, and he told all there that he was there being about His father's business.  After salvation, the next thing in your life is the "want" to tell others what GOD has done for you. Sharing your testimony of salvation with others, how He saved you.


Then thirdly, being a part of the family of GOD means you have a great reservation in heaven.  Heaven is your goal, Jesus said Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. ² In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. ³ And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. John 14


I'm so glad that I am a part of the family of GOD, and you can too, today!!


But what does the bible say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, ^9 [e]that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; ¹⁰ for with the heart a person believes, ^[f]resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, ^[g]resulting in salvation.


Call on His name today and become part of the Family of GOD.


May God bless you,
Rev. Dan
