Thoughts for another day

June 5, 2014.

Today's verse:  Gal. 3:26. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. (KJV)

(Pls. read the above before you read further.  Thanks)

Being in Christ is not just a symbolic thing but it brings to a man the essence of God.  In Christ, we become a child of God.  Now if that’s not exciting for a human being, then what is?  Imagine being God’s son or daughter – it’s such a great privilege, not only because our future is guaranteed which means when life in this world comes to an end, the heavenly gate will be opened to us by which we can assume residence in heaven and begin our eternal life, of course with Jesus Christ.

God, in Christ, has made available a host of privileges which are ours in Him for we believed in Him and when we made Christ our Lord, God and Savior from the bottom of our hearts, we became the chosen children of God or shall I say, the ‘favored’ ones of God, and this is because God loves His Precious Son so much that anyone giving Him space in his life as Savior finds God’s love flowing through Christ in him.  Such is the awesome love of God; and it further translates into a life of confidence; and God’s mercy never ceases flowing to him.

Being a child of God guarantees success in all we do when we put our confidence in Him and believe Him for everything.  I know of so many supernatural acts of God in favor of those who believe in Christ His Son that it’s amazing to not believe in Christ.  Only the most ‘unthinking’ person can have an aversion to Jesus Christ, for every thinking person who reads about Him will learn of first, the awesome love of man for us and then, that Christ is truly, the ONE, TRUE AND LIVING GOD, Who reigns at the right hand of God.  It’s also so good to know that Christ sits on His throne interceding for us who believe in Him and no matter what situation we face here on earth we can rest assured that Christ is seized of the matter and He will provide us a solution.  Not only that, someday as we approach the pearly gates, He will Himself come and escort us to the Throne of God and put His stamp of love on us for we believed in Him and lived our lives for Him here on earth.
