Bible Reading: 1John 5: 1-21
Theme: WHEN YOU ARE BORN OF GOD – 2
Bible Text: 1 John 5:1 [Amplified]
[1] “EVERYONE WHO believes (adheres to, trusts, and relies on the fact) that Jesus is the Christ (the Messiah) is a born-again child of God; and everyone who loves the Father also loves the one born of Him (His offspring).”
Word X-ray
True Christians are mostly recognized by the virtue of their Christlike characteristics, they are part of God’s family, with fellow brethren as their brothers and sisters. It is God who determines who the other family members are, not us. We are simply called to accept and love them, and not to hate them. However, your proof as God’s child must be made known from how you relate and treat your fellow one-fold members.
Furthermore, Christian brethren are nearly related to God. They are His spiritual sons and daughters (God’s offsprings). A child of God is described by his or her faith and godly character. Anyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ accordingly yields himself up to His care and direction. All believers, though by nature are sinners before we were adopted, we are spiritually descended from God, and accordingly are to be beloved. It seems but natural that he who loves the Father should love the children also. Shalom
