Ephesians 2:19 – “We are “no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God’s people and members of God’s household”
There is no higher privilege in life than to bear the name of Jesus Christ and be known as a Christian. Therefore, because of this new relationship with Him, we must strive constantly to live a holy life. We are sons and daughters of the King of the universe. God the Father claims us as His children because of the atoning death of Jesus Christ. There is no status greater than this on earth.
How then do we dare act like the children of the devil? Our new status as believers in Jesus Christ brings new privileges, rights, and responsibilities to our lives. These new privileges as children of God produce a likeness of Christ in our daily life. Not only is He able, but He is also omnipotent and all wise. We can also trust Him to save us from that which will harm us.
As the Good Shepherd, Jesus is our constant Protector. He is also constantly at work deep within our hearts to make us all that He wants us to be. He wants to produce His likeness in us so that He can use us to accomplish His eternal purposes in this world. We are assured that His love will last for all eternity. Is your awareness of His love now greater than ever before?
It’s a brand new day! Keep enjoying Kharis!
