Today’s Reading: Galatians 3:26-29
Today’s Verse: “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.” Galatians 3:26 KJV
A natural origin means that they were born to their biological parents.
Spiritual birth is the rebirth by God’s Spirit. A new life in faith. A birthing of divine purpose. We grow through spiritual labor, prayer, and focus.
It requires deep spiritual efforts. Our way to manifest God’s will. His promises.
We can face anything the world brings our way. Those of fear and doubt.
Accepting our spiritual beginning. It acknowledges that we are a child of God.
Faith, not work, achieves this identity.
Having accepted, we become the sons of God.
As His children, we show we have accepted Christ Jesus as our Lord and Savior.
We put our trust in Him. We seek Him for justification and salvation.
As His children, we enjoy great privileges under the gospel. We are no longer servants but free from the Law’s of bondage as the Jews were.
We are one in Christ.
Galatians 3:26-29 KJV is telling us that baptism signifies putting on Christ (v.27).
There is a oneness in Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek. There is neither bond nor free. There is neither male nor female. (v.28).
That as believers we are Abrahan’s seed and heirs to God’s promise (v.29).
Therefore, our care must be to do the duties that belong to us.
We can cast all other cares upon God.
Seek to be sure of that above all things.
A WORD OF PRAYER
Father, thank You for our adoption as Your child through faith. We ask for the strength to live in unity and grace. To see each other as family. To break down divisions. We want to reflect the love of Christ. To truly show that we are Your sons and daughters. The Greatest Father has us as His children. Jesus is our Spiritual Big Brother. The Holy Spirit is our guide. A new life of righteousness is found in You. Thank You for it all.
In Jesus Name We Pray, Amen
