Who as humans are sons of God?
God and Jesus created all humans, but creation doesn’t make them automatic sons of God. Jesus Himself was talking to some of the Pharisees and He was telling them that the devil was their father.
John 8:44 – 44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
So who is a Son?
Galatians 3:26-29 – 26 You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
The Jews are not the only ones who are of Abraham’s seed. In fact those who don’t believe in Christ are on the outside. Abraham was the line that Christ came through as promised. If you believe in Christ as your Lord and Savior it doesn’t matter what else you are. We are heirs according to the promise.
It all makes sense. You can’t be royalty on earth without a bloodline. However, anyone can be part of the bloodline through our Savior. It’s a free gift. We all have a spirit inside of us capable of reaching out to God. Many people feel that due to upbringing some never have a chance. I have been watching closely and I would say those with a silver spoon in their mouths have a harder time than someone with a rough upbringing.
The Lord will Judge correctly and we can count on that. We need to submit to the King now and be His sons and daughters now. We need to serve and love Him now.
Make today a new day and strive to serve Him where He leads you.
