Child of God

I want to remind you today that if you have received Jesus as your Savior and Lord you are a Child of God. You have been set free by the love of God. You are no longer controlled by the sinful nature (the old man) but by the Spirit of God who lives in you, simply because you are His child (see Romans 8:9). Because God's Spirit lives in you, and since He raised Jesus from the grave, He will also bring resurrection life to you (see Romans 8:11). Romans 8:15 tells us that we have not received a spirit that makes us a slave again to fear, but we received the Spirit of sonship. So child of God, I want to encourage you today that although you are not yet made perfect and sometimes you fall short and fail miserably, you are still God's child and He loves you. So keep believing and keep your eyes on Jesus as He alone can set you free.
