The Children of God

 (ID: 1469)

When we are born again, we receive new identities as children of God. Alistair Begg encourages us to marvel at God’s sovereign grace, which opens the eyes of our hearts so that we can see clearly Christ’s person and work. As members of God’s family, we aim to reflect Christ’s likeness and demonstrate our citizenship in His heavenly kingdom.

Children of God

28And now, little children, abide in him, so that twhen he appears uwe may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his vcoming. 29If you know that whe is righteous, you may be sure that xeveryone who practices righteousness has been born of him.

1See ywhat kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called zchildren of God; and so we are. The reason why athe world does not know us is that bit did not know him. 2Beloved, we are zGod's children cnow, and what we will be dhas not yet appeared; but we know that ewhen he appears1 fwe shall be like him, because gwe shall see him as he is. 3And everyone who hthus hopes in him ipurifies himself as he is pure.
