Being a Child of the Almighty

THE SPIRIT HIMSELF BEARS WITNESS WITH OUR SPIRIT
  THAT WE ARE CHILDREN OF GOD.
                          ( ROMANS 8:16 *NKJV )
   Dear Brethren,
      Indeed we are God's Children for; GOD SENT FORTH HIS
  SON, BORN OF A WOMAN, BORN UNDER THE LAW, TO
  REDEEM THOSE WHO WERE UNDER THE LAW, THAT WE
  MIGHT RECEIVE THE ADOPTION AS SONS. AND BECAUSE
  YOU ARE SONS, GOD HAS SENT FORTH THE SPIRIT OF
  HIS SON INTO OUR HEARTS.  ( GALATIANS 4:4-6 )      

    The Apostle Paul used adoption or "sonship" to illustrate
  to us, the believer's new relationship with God.  For when a
  person becomes a Christian, he or she gains all the privileges
  and responsibilities of a Child in God's family.

      One of these privileges is being lead by the Spirit. Now we
  may not always feel as though we belong to God, but the Holy
  Spirit is our witness!  For His inward presence reminds us of
  who we are and encourages us with God's love.  For it is written;
   NOW HOPE DOES NOT DISAPPOINT, BECAUSE THE LOVE
  OF GOD HAS BEEN POURED OUT IN OUR HEARTS BY THE
  HOLY SPIRIT WHO WAS GIVEN TO US. ( ROMANS 5:5 )
      
     So, have a wonderful day remembering that you are
  indeed a Child of God Almighty, and an heir as well.  For it is
  written, YOU ARE NO LONGER A SLAVE, BUT A SON; AND
  SINCE YOU ARE A SON, GOD HAS MADE YOU ALSO AN
  HEIR.   Wow!  Wow, Indeed!   Amen.   ( GALATIANS 4:7 )

Blessings
