And
Because We Are His Children,
God
Has Sent The Spirit Of His Son Into Our Hearts,
Prompting
Us To Call Out, “Abba, Father.”
Scripture
Galatians
4
4
But when the right time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman,
subject to the law. 5
God sent him to buy freedom for us who were slaves to the law, so
that he could adopt us as his very own children,
6
And because we are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son
into our hearts, prompting us to call out, “Abba, Father.” 7
Now you are no longer a slave but God’s own child. And since you
are his child, God has made you his heir.
Observation
On
my desk I have an old will that I am in need of getting updated. It
tells folks what to do with all of my valuables when I depart this
earth. Kathy and I have five children and eleven grandchildren so we
do have to think of the heirs of our estate. Since we don’t own any
property and have very little money our heirs aren’t going to have
very much to squabble over anyway.
But
I am an heir of God, which means that everything He owns I also get
to enjoy. Those that have a personal relationship with Christ are
very rich. We possess all spiritual blessings in heavenly realms. We
are King’s kids!
Application
I
will act like a King’s kid today and I will call Him, Abba, Father!
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, thank you for allowing us to know you and allowing us to
become a part of your family. Thank you for giving your life to set
us free from every kind of sin and for cleansing us, and for making
us your very own children so that we could totally commit ourselves
to doing what is right. (Titus 2:14) Amen.
