Being a part of the 

large, close, and loving family of God 

is an awesome privilege..

the greatest blessing.
 

To be a part of the family of God means 

knowing and experiencing the love of God. 


Being a part of the family of God 

means calling the only eternal, 

all knowing, all powerful 

Creator of everything there is...


"Father". 

This, in and of itself, should drive us 

 to our knees in humble adoration. 


We can never do anything to deserve these blessings...

 for God chose us. 

We did not earn our status as a child of God.

It is God's gift of love, mercy, and grace to us, 

yet, we are called to become sons and daughters of 

the Living God 

Unlike a human parent who is imperfect 

 and can let us down or hurt us,

 our Heavenly Father is perfect, loving, and good. 

He has provided the opportunity for eternal life,

 forgiveness of sins, and new life here on earth 

if we will only believe in Him 

and become His child.

This family bond cannot be broken.


To be part of the family of God means 


having a purpose in this life that has 


eternal significance. 


As part of God's family we are given 


spiritual gifts that we can use to grow 


and strengthen the family, 


which is the body of Christ 


(1 Corinthians 12). 


As members of the family we have the duty 


and we are granted the privilege 


to extend the invitation to others 


to believe in Christ and become members with us 


(Matthew 28:19–20).


To be part of the family of God means having 


an eternal inheritance. 


Unlike a temporal material inheritance 


that some children receive from 


their natural parents.


Believers in Christ will receive an imperishable, 


unfading, eternal inheritance 


from their Father in heaven 


(Ephesians 1:11; Colossians 1:12; 


Hebrews 9:15; 1 Peter 1:4).


 Those who have received Christ 


and can therefore call God "Father" 


will inherit eternal life in a resurrected body 


on a new earth 


(Philippians 3:20–21; 2 Peter 3:13; 


Revelation 21:1).


God is our Father forever.


May we choose God 

over everyone else.
