NOTE

SONSHIP ROM 3:17-32, 8:1-30

All human beings created by God are literally referred to as children of God as long as such human beings remain obedient to God. However, this status of being called son of God is lost when the individual starts living in disobedience to God.

Due to this disobedience, man initially lost the privilege of being called the child of God. When Jesus came, he obeyed the law by doing the will of God. He obeyed the law for men to be qualified as children of God.

St. Paul in his epistle to the Galatians assured them that they were children of God because Jesus Christ the Author and Finisher of their faith is the son of God. Through the Galatian Christians, Paul reached out to all Christians on how to be children of God. He said, since those that are baptized into Christ have put on Christ, there should be no discrimination among Christians.

All Christians are one in Christ Jesus. If one is in Christ, then he is Abraham's offspring according to the promise. When men were children spiritually,they were slaves to the elemental spirits of the universe. But when the time had fully come, God sent forth His son, born of a woman and born under the law so that men might receive adoption as sons.

When they became sons, God sent the spirit of His son into men's heart crying, "Abba Father!" So, through God, believers or Christians are no longer slaves but sons and heirs.

Ways We Can Show That We Are Children Of God

1.We should reject Satan in every sphere of our lives and accept Christ as our saviour.

  1. We must obey and fulfill Christian obligations and those of state also.
  2. We must strife hard to win more soul for Christ and contribute our quota in cash and kind towards the propagation of the Gospel and Christianity.
