“For in him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ.” (Ephesians 1:7-9)
Good morning fellow disciples.
Our sonship is rooted in the redemptive work of Christ, who has forgiven our sins and lavished us with the riches of God’s grace.
Before we were adopted into God’s family, we were sinful and could not approach God. Because God is Holy and we were unclean we could not have right relationship with God, nor could we fellowship with Him. The lives we lived were aimless and devoid of eternal significance because we were walking in sin.
But when we accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, we became far more than disciples who could walk alongside Him. We became sons of God! We walk, we move, we live as sons of Almighty God!
As we meditate on this truth, may our hearts overflow with gratitude and worship.
Prayer: Father God, my life is now full of purpose and meaning! I walk in sonship to You Almighty God. I am united with Christ! I am living by grace filled with Your Spirit and power. I am forever walking in Your love! Thank You for making me Your son! Amen.
