The Bible says in 1 John 3:1, "Behold what manner of love the
Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called the children of
God!"
Think about that for a minute. The children of
God. Pretty awesome huh? You know, it
wasn't always exactly that way. In many places in scripture we are
referred to as the servants or slaves of God. Why? Because of our
fallen nature, our sin-filled lives. Then there are my
two favorite words in the English language: BUT
JESUS...... We were slaves BUT JESUS set
us free when he died on the cross for our sins, and NOW we are the
CHILDREN OF GOD! Celebrate that today! No matter what
kind of day you are having! Celebrate your status as a Child of
God!
