No longer are do we Not belong to someone.
What?
Even as those that feel they are orphans in today's world, those whose parents have abandoned them and ended up in foster care. Those that whose mate left them. Those that have virtually nobody
If they have God, the have the one person that they need more then anyone else.
The gospel song: This world is not my home, I'm just passing through....is not just a song to make us feel good about where we will eventually ended up. It is the truth. Because 1 Peter 2:11 tells us that we are strangers here. This place we call home, is not really our home at all. It is just our journey into the next world. Where ever that may be.
If we have found God and committed our lives to Jesus Christ, we are on our way to everlasting life in the most wonderful place we can imagine.
And as such, we then have the right to be adopted by God into his family and become joint heirs with him. Galatians 4:7
Any kind of earthly inheritance we might receive pales to dust when compared by what we shall receive when we stand at heaven's door. And yet sometimes, when on this side of heaven, we hope to receive an inheritance from someone, sometimes our greed kicks in and we forget what is important.
What is important is whether or not we have the right to be called God's children.
And it is only through the shed blood of what Jesus did on the cross, and whether or not we accept him as our blood sacrifice for our sin, that gives us that right.
Can we say we diffidently have that right? We have to be sure we can because at the exact second that our life ends here, we will know for sure.
Hello Friends. May you have a wonderful day with Gods blessings showering down around you.
