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.”

He prayed that we would be one!

The Lord Jesus prayed for us all in John 17. He prayed for divine protection, wisdom and that we would be one. In verses 20 and 21, He reveals that He is not only praying for the original disciples who were with Him in His earthly ministry, He is also praying for all those who would ever come to believe in Him through the Apostle’s word and teaching. That means He is also praying for us!  Not only that, He is praying that we would all be one, just as He and the Father are one. We have the most powerful advocate praying for us. Romans 8:34 says: “Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us”. Know today that you are not alone in your walk of faith. God is with you, and the Lord Jesus is interceding on your behalf. He has also sent His Spirit to help you daily, and dispatches His angels to guard you. Rejoice, He never leaves nor forsakes us!

John 17: 20,21 (AMPC) “Neither for these alone do I pray [it is not for their sake only that I make this request], but also for all those who will ever come to believe in (trust in, cling to, rely on) Me through their word and teaching, That they all may be one, [just] as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, so that the world may believe and be convinced that You have sent Me.
