September 1 Devotion - Your DNA in God - Part 1- I am God's Child

 

 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.

أَمَّا الَّذِينَ قَبِلُوهُ، أَيِ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِاسْمِهِ، فَقَدْ مَنَحَهُمُ الْحَقَّ فِي أَنْ يَصِيرُوا أَوْلادَ اللهِ،

John 1:12

 Be freed from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

  وَهُوَ أنْ يَتَحَرَّرَ هَذا العالَمُ المَخلُوقُ أيضاً مِنْ عُبُودِيَّتِهِ لِلفَسادِ، وَيَتَمَتَّعَ بِالحُرِّيَّةِ المَجِيدَةِ الَّتيْ لِأبناءِ اللهِ.

Romans 8:21

Does this apply to everyone? I believe it applies only to those who have surrendered their lives to Christ and accepted the fact that He bore their sins in His own body at The Cross, and have declared Him as their Lord and Saviour. At that moment they are born again through the spirit and become children of God.

 

I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:

Abba Father, thank You that my DNA reveals that I am a child of God and I was purchased with the precious blood of Christ. Thank You Lord that You redeemed me and granted me forgiveness of my sins, according to the riches of Your grace. 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. Thank You Father God for Your abundant blessings and love. I praise You and glorify You Lord. In the Holy Name of Jesus I pray. To Jesus be the glory, the majesty, the power and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Jesus loves you,

In Him,
