The right to be a child of God!

The true Light of God, the eternal, one and only Son of God, came from his Father’s heavenly home to bring the message of the grace and truth of God to those who were God’s own. 

The Father sent his Spirit to us and we were changed into God’s children.  And as children of the Father our eyes were opened to recognise Jesus, to believe in his Name and receive the right to walk in the eternal light.

John 1: 10-14 - To those who believed in his name,  Jesus gave the right to become children of God — children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth

We are given the right to be a child of God when we are adopted by the Father in Christ and are given the privilege to call the almighty Creator “Abba” which means “my Daddy”. We are given the power to claim our divine heritage to be children of God.  We share in the wonder of childship even as Jesus claimed to be God’s Son.  The Spirit individually grants us the faith to know Jesus as the Truth and receive his Light!

Celebrate the right to be a child of God today.
Celebrate the gracious life of Jesus that brought you truth and light.
Celebrate the calling to be the instrument used by the Spirit to open the eyes of the blind and call those who are dead, to live.

Because you have the right to childship of the Most High God, you too cannot only see, but as a member of God’s family,  share the glory of Jesus with a world stumbling forward in darkness.
