God’s Children

How is it that we are children of God? What is the process of God making us his children? What are the benefits of being God’s children?

As followers of Jesus who have received Jesus and believe in his name, we are children of God, with all the rights and privileges.

The Apostle John wrote this about becoming children of God through Jesus, saying, “But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” (John 1:12, ESV).

We are God’s children through his son Jesus. When we receive Jesus and believe in his name, we are children of God. We have the right to be God’s children because of Jesus.

May we be secure in our belonging as children of God through receiving Jesus and believing in his name, and may we experience our identity and inheritance in the family of God.

A Collect for Mission III: “O God, you manifest in your servants the signs of your presence: Send forth upon us the Spirit of love, that in companionship with one another your abounding grace may increase among us; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
