I am a child of God

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. - John 3:16

Many people of the world do not realize how much God loves them till they come to Jesus and accept His finished work at the cross! At that very moment of salvation, a divine exchange takes place: a sinner is being transformed into the righteous one of God. Old things have passed away and behold, all things are new!

Old things are the pains, sorrow, fears, anxieties, worries, and lack. Ultimately, it is the old self that has died at the cross and the new life in Christ has been re-born. In an instance, the sinner is no more and in place of it is a life of Christ, a Christian, a child of God. The moment we accept the gift of salvation, we are grafted into the heavenly family. We have A heavenly Father and elder brother Christ Jesus.

We are no longer like the people of the world. We are been well taken care of every second of our lives. If things go terribly wrong, we have Abba Father as our deliverer to deliver us out of that situation. He is also our shield and protector. He is our strong tower that we can take refuge. And because of His great love for us, the Holy Spirit now indwells in us! Hallelujah!

Jesus is our all in all. He is our everything. He is all that we need. For when we focus on Jesus, all things will turn our way! When we behold Jesus, He becomes "big" in our revelation of Him. And the more we behold Him, the more Christ-like people will witness in us. For we are in Christ and Christ is in us! We and Christ are so one that Abba Father doesn't see us as us but see us in Christ.

And in Christ dwells all perfection. Abba Father sees the perfection of Jesus' work at the cross. It is a completely complete work and nothing needs to be added to it! We have absolutely no part in it. And through that complete work, sinners can be grafted into the heavenly kingdom by accepting the give of salvation.

You see, the word grafted is quite weak to describe the relationship between Abba Father and His children. It is as if we are literally born of God. Without stress and work on our part.

Live life knowing we have Abba Father looking after us every step of our walk on earth. It matters not if we are going through some trying times or dealing with some form of terminal illnesses or facing a huge mountain of debt, Abba Father is there to take care of all these things for He has already provided the answer in Christ Jesus!

Rest easy. Live the abundant life that Jesus has come to give. Reign in life as that's our destiny. Hallelujah!
