WEEK 30 – DAY 4
CHILD OF GOD THROUGH FAITH
For you [who are born-again have been reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified and] are all children of God [set apart for His purpose with full rights and privileges] through faith in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:26 (AMP)
Faith, trusting in the Lord Jesus, is the only way to a right, intimate, and fulfilling relationship with God as our Father. It is through our faith in the redeeming power of Jesus’s sacrifice of Himself on the cross and subsequent resurrection, that we receive adoption into God’s forever family. Jesus is the only way to the Father (John 14:6), the only way to secure adoption into the family. As a part of that adoption, we give up our rights to our plans, our agenda, ourselves in order to fulfill God’s plan and His kingdom purposes. We have a new Father whom we are to obey. In return, we are made joint-heirs with Jesus, inheriting eternal life in the Father’s house. Our past is wiped clean, and we have a new future as children of God with all the privileges that entails. Through faith, I am a daughter of the King of kings! Through faith, I am His jewel, His precious treasure. Through faith in Christ, I have all spiritual blessings. Through faith, God says I am sitting in heavenly places. Through faith in Jesus, I have boldness and access to God with confidence. Through faith, I can call the Creator and Sustainer of planet earth and the entire universe, “Daddy!”
Father, Daddy, thank You for adopting us into Your forever family. Through Your Holy Spirit, help us to honor you in all we do, all we say, and all we are. Let it be evident to all who encounter us that we are Your daughters, Your precious jewels.
