A CHILD OF GOD

I AM A CHILD OF GOD say it loud!

Genesis 2: 9 

The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

In the middle of the garden how many trees?

Two, absolutely right! You don't have to be a scholar or genius  to figured these out. 

In the beginning of man.

Without eating the forbidden fruit.

a. Man are innocent.
b. Man are responsible.
c. Man are obedience.
d. Man has free will.

Genesis 3: 1-7, NIV

1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” 

2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 

3 but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”  (Man is responsible) 

4 “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. 

5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” (The innocence of man) 

6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.

• Curiosity of man        
• Free will of man.

SIN WAS BORN.             

7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

Questions:

1. What if man choose to eat the tree of life instead the tree of knowledge knowing good and evil?
Man will stay in the garden forever.
And the tree of knowledge of good and evil will wipe out on the garden.

2. Does God knows that man will fall? And choose to eat the forbidden fruit?

YES!

The good news is.
Christ died already before the foundation of the world. 
Revelation 13: 8, NLT
And all the people who belong to this world worshiped the beast. They are the ones whose names were not written in the Book of Life that belongs to the Lamb who was slaughtered before the world was made.[a]

Glory and Honor belong to our God. 

GOD is already demonstrated His love to all of us. He already given us His Son Jesus Christ through His blood He redeemed us. Hallelujah! 

Two kinds of children in the Bible:

1. The children of God.

2. The children of the Devil.

How to become a children of God or a child of God?

A.   JUST OPENLY DECLARE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD AND BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART. 

Romans 10: 9-10 NLT

9 If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.

B.   AND GOD WILL JOIN WITH OUR SPIRIT TO AFFIRM THAT WE ARE GOD’S CHILDREN. 

Romans 8: 16, NLT

For His Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God’s children.

C.   JUST BELIEVE IN HIM AND ACCEPT HIM JESUS CHRIST AS A SON OF GOD AND SAVIOR. 

John 1: 12 NIV

But to all who believed Him and accepted Him, He gave the right to become children of God.

 

I invite you today believe and accept Jesus Christ today as your Lord, Master and Savior. 

Please pray like this and believe in your heart. 

Father in Heaven  I thank you for your love, thank you for giving us Your Son Jesus Christ to save me and gave Himself for me. Lord  Jesus I believed in You and accepted You as my Lord and my Savior thank you for dying for me at the cross and my name is already written in the Book of Life.
