SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF GOD

2 Corinthians 6:18 (CSB)
And I will be a Father to you, and you will be sons and daughters to me, says the Lord Almighty.

Romans 8:16 (CSB)
The Spirit himself testifies together with our spirit that we are God’s children.

Galatians 3:26-27 (CSB)
For through faith you are Sons of God in Christ Jesus.  For those of you who were baptized into Christ have been clothed with Christ.

We are called Children of God when we are saved.  When we believe in Jesus and have faith in God, we become adopted into God’s family.  When we are born, we are all God’s creation but it is when we are born again (saved) that we become a Child of God.

Galatians 4:6-7 (CSB)
And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his son into our hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!”  So you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then God has made you an heir.

1 John 3:1-3
See what great love the Father has given us that we should be called God’s children – and we are!  The reason the world does not know us is that it didn’t know him.  Dear friends, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet been revealed.  We know that when he appears, we will be like him because we will see him as he is.  And everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself just as he is pure.

Thank You God for Saving Me
Written by Chris Tomlin and Phil Wickham

What can I give to you
What can I offer to the King
For all the love you’ve shown
For all your mercy over me

I called your name, you heard my cry
Out of the grave, and into life
My heart is yours, my soul is free
Thank you God for saving me
Thank you God for saving me

The rock of salvation
My hope is built on nothing less
Morning by morning
How great is your faithfulness

I called your name, you heard my cry
Out of the grave, and into life
My heart is yours, my soul is free
Thank you God for saving me
Thank you God for saving me

You gave your life upon the cross
You suffered once for all
You made a way
Jesus in victory you rose
You made us all your own
Now we are saved

How beautiful it is to be a Child of God.
