It’s vital that we catch the powerful truth that God is a loving Father. If we don’t receive that in our hearts, we will always struggle with guilt, shame, condemnation and fear. The enemy of our souls uses fear, doubt and condemnation to make us feel like God is angry at us and wants to punish us. Yet, it is the enemy that want to destroy us. God loved us so much that He sent His only begotten Son to die on the cross to save us and to adopt us into His family. Luke 12:32 says: “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom”. Did you just read that? It is His pleasure! He rejoices to see us as part of His family. He loves to converse with us and walk with us. He loves when we relate to Him as our Father. He is the one who taught us to call Him Father. His Kingdom is awesome! In His Kingdom, there is healing (Matthew 4:23). The poor in spirit are blessed in His Kingdom (Matthew 5:3). The persecuted are blessed in His Kingdom (Matthew 5:10). His Kingdom belongs to those who obey His commandments (Matthew 5:19). His will is done in His Kingdom (Matthew 6:10). All of our needs are met in His Kingdom (Matthew 6:33). Spirits of evil are cast out when His Kingdom is present.(Matthew 12:28). In Christ, we are now kingdom citizens, and all things are new. We do not have to struggle any more. We are part of His Kingdom and its His good pleasure to give us the Kingdom.
The Lord Jesus revealed a powerful revelation of access to the Father. John 14:6 (TPT), says: “Jesus explained, “I am the Way, I am the Truth, and I am the Life. No one comes next to the Father except through union with me. To know me is to know my Father too”. He uses three powerful descriptions: way, truth, life. The word way means: route road, access, door. Jesus is the access to the Father. The word Truth means: actuality, fact, fidelity to a standard. Jesus is the standard of fact and truth. He is Life. We derive our life from Him. He is our source. Jesus didn’t say He is a way. He said He is THE way, THE truth, THE life. It is through union with Him that we have access to the Father. It is through Him that real truth is revealed. He is THE Truth. Through Him, we have real life. New Life. Eternal Life. Life in abundance. And as part of this new life, we also receive the privilege of adoption into His family. so be reminded today, we shall know THE truth and THE truth shall set us free!
