God Created Man To Be The Children Of God

GOD CREATED MAN TO BE THE CHILDREN OF GOD!

Romans 8:14-8:18 (amp)

14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15 For [the Spirit which] you have now received [is] not a spirit of slavery to put you once more in bondage to fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption [the Spirit producing sonship] in [the bliss of] which we cry, Abba (Father)! Father! 16 The Spirit Himself [thus] testifies together with our own spirit, [assuring us] that we are children of God. 17 And if we are [His] children, then we are [His] heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ [sharing His inheritance with Him]; only we must share His suffering if we are to share His glory. 18 [But what of that?] For I consider that the sufferings of this present time (this present life) are not worth being compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us and in us and for us and conferred on us! 19 For [even the whole] creation (all nature) waits expectantly and longs earnestly for God’s sons to be made known [waits for the revealing, the disclosing of their sonship].

I. To live in a relationship with our Heavenly Father we must desire to hear the WORD OF GOD!

A. Verse 16, Gods spirit always bears witnessed with our spirit that we are His children.

B. Jesus said man should live by every word of God.

1.God never ceases speaking to us; we must listen to the voice of God through His Word.

2.We are like TV or radio receivers. God signals continue to broadcast to our spirits but we must tune in, we do this through hearing, knowing and believing the Word of God.

We have up to this point help open 20 Three Month Basic Bible Training Schools in the former USSR and have trained over 2,000 worker of which over 80% are in ministry. The classes I teach, I will have the class stand and say, "God give me ears to hear the Word of God, a mind to understand the Word of God, a heart to believe the Word of God and a month to speak the Word of God."

(1 The 5:23 (AMP) And may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through [separate you from profane things, make you pure and wholly consecrated to God]; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved sound and complete [and found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah).

C. Christ paid the price for the complete man. Spirit, Soul and Body.

(1 The 5:23 (AMP) And may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through [separate you from profane things, make you pure and wholly consecrated to God]; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved sound and complete [and found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah).
