Day 20 - IN CHRIST, child and heir

IN CHRIST, I have been made a child of God, an heir of God, and a joint-heir with Jesus Christ

The Spirit Himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the CHILDREN of God: and if children, then HEIRS; HEIRS OF GOD, AND JOINT-HEIRS WITH CHRIST.

Ye are all the CHILDREN OF GOD by faith in Christ Jesus. Gal.3:26

I will be a FATHER unto you, and ye shall be my SONS and DAUGHTERS, saith the Lord Almighty. 2 Cor.6: 18

I enjoyed being called a daughter today and decided to read 2 Cor.6:18 in context, here is some more for you to chew on as a son or daughter of the most high King:
(6:14 - 7:1)
Do not be yoked together with unbelievers.
For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common?
Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?
What harmony is there between Christ and Belial?
What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?
What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols?
For we are the temple of the living God.
As God has said:
"I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.Therefore come out from them and be separate,"
says the Lord.
"Touch no unclean thing,
and I will receive you.
I will be a Father to you,
and you will be my sons and daughters,"
says the Lord Almighty.
Since we have these promises,
dear friends,
let us purify ourselves from everything
that contaminates body and spirit,
perfecting holiness out of reverence for God!

  1. Ok, so I have to add this quick too ... taken from the Message (a paraphrase version of scripture)
    "I'll live in them, move into them;
    I'll be their God and they'll be my people.
    So leave the corruption and compromise;
    leave it for good," says God.
    "Don'tlink up with those who will pollute you.
    I want you all for myself.
    I'll be a Father to you;
    you'll be sons and daughters to me."
    The Word of the Master, God.
