Is the Church the Same Thing as the Family of God? We experience God’s love to the fullest, without a barrier caused by sin. Our talents and abilities are no accident, and when we work diligently with the gifts He has given us, we are able to become a channel of love to reach out to others. “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them” ( Ephesians 2:10). Our faith fuels our confidence and directs our steps, as we seek God first in our daily lives. Paul wrote in Galatians 3:26 it is through our faith in Jesus we are sons and daughters of God. From hugs and words of comfort to feeding hungry bellies, we operate by the love of God to spread the love of God, to all His people. This family of brothers and sisters in Christ are more deeply connected to us than any other relationships, even our earthly families! We share a spiritual unity through our common Father, God! As God’s family, we are His arms and legs on this earth. And this changes everything,” explains D.A. “A Christian is one who has been adopted by God - brought into the family of God, all by the Son of God. We have been adopted into God’s family, through Jesus’ sacrificial death on the cross. God chose Israel to be his special people ( Deuteronomy 7:6), but Jesus came to save Jews and Gentiles (everyone else). Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is” ( 1 John 3:1-2). The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. “See what kind of love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God and so we are. What Is the Family of God According to the Bible? “Because HE had chosen before the foundation of the world to have a family for Himself ( Eph 1:5), He acted in time and history to make their salvation a reality,” writes Iain Duguid for Ligonier Ministries. The only requirement? Not to change who we are or fix all of our dysfunctions, but by believing in Jesus Christ, Emmanuel, God with us, who came to save us, once and for all. Our confidence comes, not from ourselves, but from our Creator, our Savior, and Spirit of the One True God. The old has passed away behold, the new has come” ( 2 Corinthians 5:17).
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.
To be in the family of God means to be accepted for who we are: loved, cherished, celebrated, and fully forgiven.
