Embracing Our True Identity
In a world where we’re constantly reminded of our rights, it’s refreshing to remember that our most precious gift isn’t something we’ve earned, but rather something graciously given to us.
A Right That Transcends Human Understanding
“It’s my right to…” – how often do we hear these words? But there’s one right that stands out above the rest, a right that’s not based on our heritage, human decision, or personal will. It’s the right to become children of God, a privilege bestowed upon us by His divine grace.
The Cost of Our Adoption
This gift came at a great cost to God. Jesus, the Son of God, left His heavenly throne to live among us, to die on the cross, and to rise again, securing our place in God’s family. Through faith, we receive this incredible gift, and the Holy Spirit works within us, rebirthing us into a new life.
The Power of New Birth
To be born of God, to be born from above, is to experience the transformative power of adoption into God’s family. This new birth brings with it all the rights of heirs in God’s house, a privilege that’s both humbling and empowering.
A Prayer of Gratitude and Surrender
Abba Father, I thank you for welcoming me into your family. Today, I pray that my life will reflect your influence, character, mercy, holiness, compassion, righteousness, and love. Fill me with your Spirit, that I may reflect you in all I do and say. May I walk in the footsteps of my older brother Jesus, who has shown me the way. Amen.
