You are part of HIs Family!

You are part of HIs Family!

Jesus said when you pray, call Him Our Father. This denotes family. This shows His love for us, in that He invites us into His family. He calls us co-heirs with the Lord Jesus. An heir is someone that is in line to receive the inheritance. The Heavenly Father says that we share in the inheritance with His Son, who is our older brother. The Lord Jesus says He is not ashamed to call us brothers. Jesus mentioned in a prayer that the Father loves us like He loves His only begotten Son. Imagine that. God loves us so much that He loves us just like He loves His only begotten Son.The Psalmist mentioned various things about God’s love to us:
> God’s love is unfailing.
> Because of His love, goodness and mercy follow us every day of our lives.
> His love abounds toward us.
> Great peace have they who love your law. Nothing shall make them stumble.
> For those who pursue and love Him, they will find life, prosperity, and honor.
> He protects those who love Him.

2 Corinthians 6: 17,18 “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.” “I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the Lord Almighty.”

Are you ashamed?

Paul used the word “ashamed” in Romans 1:16. He said this: Romans 1:16 “For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes—the Jew first and also the Gentile.” He was honored to be a minister of the Gospel. The word “ashamed” means: “feeling shame, guilt, or disgrace; reluctant or unwilling to do something because of shame or embarrassment.” Today, the enemy is working overtime to try to make Christians ashamed of sharing their faith. He is trying to confuse this generation about what the Gospel is. In many cases, ministers are not even preaching the gospel of salvation anymore. They are preaching wellness, feeling good and positive thinking. But Jesus did not die on the cross so that we can feel good. He died on the cross to deliver us from the power of darkness, and translate us into His Kingdom. I don’t need the cross to “feel good.” I need the cross to be set free; to be born again; to be forgiven of my sins; to be part of the family of God; to be able to stand one day in the presence of God without guilt and shame. That is the Gospel. It is good news about eternal salvation. People, do not be deceived. What Jesus did on the cross is the greatest message in history, period! I am not ashamed of His love for me, and what He did for me. Are you?
