1 John 3: 1
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God…
KJV
Further Study 1John 3: 1-6, Gal 4:1-7(click to read)
God has shown us such great love to the end that we will have an authentic father-son relationship with Him forever. Unfortunately, not many of us get to experience this. The reason why is because even though many of us may have accepted Jesus Christ so to be born again, we sometimes fail to use the power God has made available for us to become sons of God. Remember the bible says ‘for as many as believe in Jesus Christ, God gave them power to become sons of God…’John 1:12. This says God gives you power to become His son if you believe in Jesus Christ. This passage did not say you are (automatically) a son of God because you believe in Christ. So what is the difference?
The difference is that the power is now made available for you; it is now your choice whether or not to use it.
Being a son is a position of responsibility and power. Our further study in Galatians tells us that God ultimately wants us to become sons. God wants you to become a son so that you can command great power and authority in the spirit realm and in this world. Tomorrow we shall be looking at how we can use this power that God has made available to us in order that we may become sons of God.
It is not God’s will for you to grope in ignorance as to who you are and what you have!
Continues tomorrow…
Prayer: thank you heavenly father for making me a son; I pray you help me yield to this making process. In Jesus name I pray. Amen
