Really enjoying this study so far. I have learned so much and God has revealed so much to me! I love 'Bible Study!' Beloved, the moment you believed with your heart and confessed with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, His genealogy became your own. Your heritage became a holy one. Your lineage became royalty. Your spiritual bloodline stems all the way back to Abraham....you are a child of promise. By what means have be been born into such great wealth? The answer can be found in Romans 8:14-16. We are added to the family of God by way of blessed adoption! God adopted each of us knowing every time we would: fail Him, deny Him, desert Him, choose someone over Him, or make choices that would break His heart. But having this full knowledge, He did it anyway----because it pleased Him! (Ephesians 1:3-6) After listening to Priscilla Shirer preach about who God is and belonging to Him and then ending this week on this quote; I am so glad to belong to Jesus! I'm a daughter of a King!
Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ! |
