January 19 Devotion - We are children of God

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name. We are freed from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

واما كل الذين قبلوه فاعطاهم سلطانا ان يصيروا اولاد الله أي المؤمنون باسمه.

تُحَرَّرَ هِيَ أَيْضاً مِنْ عُبُودِيَّةِ الْفَسَادِ إِلَى حُرِّيَّةِ الْمَجْدِ الَّتِي لأَوْلاَدِ اللهِ.   

John 1:12

Romans 8:21

When we receive Jesus as our Saviour and believe that He bore our sins in His own body at The Cross, and surrender our lives to Christ we are freed from the bondage of this world into the glorious liberty of the children of God. God sanctifies us when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, and He continues to sanctify us to make us clean vessels properly prepared for His good works. Sanctification is an ongoing work in our lives as Christian believers.

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings and Your inseparable, deep and everlasting love for me. Lord I praise You, glorify You and lift You up on high. Thank You Lord that You redeemed me and granted me forgiveness of my sins, according to the riches of Your grace, purchased with the precious blood of Christ. Thank You Father that You have given me the right to become a child of God, through my belief in Your Son Jesus. Thank You Lord that I am freed from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

LORD, I pray that out of Your  glorious riches You strengthen me with power through Your Spirit in my inner being, so that I can continue to declare to the world that Christ is my Lord and Saviour and Jesus may continue to dwell in my heart through faith and continue to sanctify me on a daily basis. In the Holy Name of Jesus I pray. To Him be the glory and the power and the dominion forever and ever and unto ages of all ages. Amen.

Jesus loves you,

In Him,
