TOPIC: WE ARE THE ADOPTED SONS AFTER JESUS THE BEGOTTEN SON
TEXT: 1 John 5:10-13
Key verse: John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Many people misunderstand this term or the description given to Jesus as the Son of God. Some reject Him because of this title. The Islamic religion in particular contend against this title saying God cannot have a Son. This has been an obstacle on the way of many because without believing this eternal truth, they cannot believe in Jesus and be saved. Even among the Christians, many are still confused about this title but you need to understand clearly that while it is affirmed that we have one God, Jesus being the Son of God does not mean Jesus Himself is not God.
When the title “Son of God” is used with respect to Jesus, it does not connote the same meaning as children being born by human parents or by a man impregnating his wife. This title specifically refers to one born, not by the will of man, but by the will of God. It is equally used of anyone who believes in Jesus Christ (John 1:12-13). Not born through copulation or sexual union between a man and a woman. Rather, they were people God fashioned and bought for Himself. Therefore, everyone that believes in Christ is an adopted son of God. Our sonship is adoption, which is quite unlike the status of Jesus Christ as the only begotten Son of God.
“Adopted” means our father was not originally God. You had a father, Satan, who was chief sinner. Through his corruptive influence, sin entered your life. That was why you were a sinner. But when you believed in Christ, God by His mercy adopted you as His son. You received the Spirit of adoption giving you right to this one Father. Now, you can call on the true God and serve Him. But, if you don’t continue with Him in truth, righteousness and holiness, you will go back to your original father, Satan. You had a father but God chose to pick you. If you fail to continue to comply with the conditions for your adoption, God will release you back to Satan.
Thought for the day: Everyone that believes in Christ is an adopted son of God
Song for the day: I have a Father, Almighty Father….
Bible reading for the day: 2 Chronicles 34-36; John 19:1-22

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
