WE ARE THE ADOPTED SONS AFTER JESUS THE BEGOTTEN SON

For taking your time to study remain blessed.

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

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

  REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN. PRAY CONSTANTLY                                                                      FRIDAY 11 MARCH TEXT: Luke 18: 1-7 Key verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Pray without ceasing. I wish My children, whilst upon earth, to live more and more with Me in “the heavenly places”. Here, there is no fear or hurry or fret of spirit. I am gratified when you wait upon Me –which waiting I always honour. My thoughts, as you wait upon Me, are impressed upon you: all that I am must be increasingly absorbed by you. It is as you wait upon Me that I give to you that sense of calm assurance which you must carry about with you always. It comes from knowing that everything you have committed to Me is being surely worked out. Yes, immerse yourself in Me –and do ...
