    Our Spiritual Sonship

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,487 views

    If you are spiritually lost or unsure of salvation, today you can become a son of God by redemption and regeneration in Christ Jesus. You have to believe that he died in your place to pay your sins.

    Intro: There are those that believe in the so-called “universal Fatherhood of God” and the “universal brotherhood of men.” However, the Holy Bible makes it very clear that, spiritually speaking, there are two fathers: God and Satan (see I John 3:10). Today, we shall talk ...read more

    God's love has made us His children, and it will make us like His Son.

    One thing I learned about Jan: She never felt the need to control others. I don’t mean by that that she had no boundaries or no expectations of us. She wanted us to be our best selves. But she didn’t see the need to coerce us. She didn’t need us to be a certain way for her to be ...read more

    The truth is, that how we live, matters to God! Christians are to keep in step with the Spirit and to walk in obedience to God's revealed will - but what's our motivation for doing so? Is it Law or is it Love? And why does it matter?

The key verse in these in these chapters is 4:8, "God is love." We, who have trusted Christ as Savior, are children of God, we are in the family of ...read more
