Beloved, now we are the children of God And it has not yet been revealed what we shall be
but we know that when He is revealed
we shall be like Him for we shall see Him as He is
You see the children of God have the seed of God in them
the Holy Spirit
their likeness comes from the regenerating seed
within them
when they're born again
God's children look like their Father
they abide in Him
and Him in them
when they first heard the gospel they realized
it was God's love that caused Christ to come
God Himself came in the person of Jesus
to free us from the corruption that held us all
in bondage no other sacrifice
could suffice as did Christ in divine holiness
and divine love
He is the only sufficient propitiation
that could redeem our race because He became man faith in Him restores our
broken relationship
with our Heavenly Father. Believers hear this message
and realize it was their sin
that sent Jesus to the cross. God comes to us and invites us to come to His
table
and sit as His sons and daughters
true penitent hears the gospel message and repents
and believes for the forgiveness of sins
we realize
that we are guilty of mutiny and rebellion against our Father
He loves us. We are so sorry
that we rebelled against a love so great that we humble ourselves
we repent and become like humble children
and our old life becomes buried with Christ
for if we have been united together in the likeness of His death
certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection
only then we are restored and purified by the Holy Spirit
Only by Christ's death and resurrection is this made possible
And everyone who has this hope in Him
purifies himself just as He is pure
children of God are made pure by putting their faith
in the blood of Jesus Christ they stay
pure through the righteousness which is by faith
by faith
we keep ourselves pure through perfect love for our Heavenly Father
if you love Me Jesus said keep My commandments
We obey our Father's Word. When you love God to keep his commandments are not
a burden
everyone who is born of God overcomes
the world. Faith is the victory that has overcome the world
Faith is obedience to our Father's words
John 14 verse 31 but I
do as the Father has commanded Me so that the world may know
that I loved the Father
Who are the children of God? Everyone who's faith
overcomes the world those who go on believing
that Jesus is the Son of God
