Our son ship, our adoption, is based upon the perfect and
imperishable blood of Christ. There are times when the devil will condemn you,
lie to you or try to discourage you by telling you that you are a failure or
that you are unloved or unworthy. But you can tell him that you have absolute
proof that the devil is a liar!
As a loving heavenly Father, God is restoring us so that when
we finally see Him face to face we shall be more like Him who made (Ps. 17:15)
Praise the Lord! As God’s sons, we shall be totally
transformed – body, soul and spirit. Someday we will live in eternity
completely whole, and in the bright and undiluted presence of our Lord and His
love!
Thus the sinner is made an adopted son and is restored to
what God originally intended to have a personal relationship with Him as the
heavenly Father. That is God’s clearly designed destiny for every person…
Every believer has the command and the privilege to tell
others what God, through Christ, has done for them. It makes no difference the
age, gender, calling or spiritual maturity – it is the responsibility of every
Christian to tell others about Jesus!
Just as spiritual adoption into God’s family has great
implications for every believer, so does heavenly citizenship. Becoming a
citizen of God’s Kingdom should impact every area of our live – including our
understanding of who we are, and how we think and act. It should affect how we
view the world around us and how we live our daily life?
At Salvation what
happens?
Our eyes were opened – 2 Corinthians 4:3-6
We went from darkness to light – 2 Corinthians 4:6; 1 Peter
2:9
We were delivered from the power of Satan to the power of God
– Colossians 1:13
We received forgiveness of sins (Eph. 1:7); and, we received
an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Jesus – Acts 26:18.
