Are you a child of God…

Are you a child of God…

At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus called a little child unto Him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

…Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receives Me. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in Me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea...Matthew 18:1-6.

 

When asked who is the greatest in the Kingdom of God…Jesus side stepped the answer and said unless you are converted and become as little children you will not even enter in. The Greatest is of course the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit…you and I can never be greater than God. Therefore we must become His Children asking daddy can I…daddy will you…daddy forgive me…daddy I hurt…etc.

 

We must learn to depend on God for everything just like a child does their parents. In the model prayer by Jesus…we are taught to say Your will done to the Father…why is He called the Father if He does not want us to consider being His child. We have to become fully converted like a child dependent on His Father…then we can grow into God’s plan for our lives. We truly cannot do things of our own but learn how God will do it with us. We need to develop a walk with God and learn how not to offend others. If we cause a Christian to fall then it is better to die than to place a Christian in circumstance of losing his faith. Jesus said it is better to die than to cause a Christian to fall.

 

Jesus also said whoever receives one of these children in His name will receive Him…Jesus said if receive a child in Jesus name then you will have Jesus. Will you agree to teach your children Jesus and receive them in His name…yes or no? How many children today are not being taught Jesus by their own parents? How many think a trip to church is all which is needed? I agree church is important but do you teach Jesus outside of church? I heard this is the first time in America’s history where about half of the population are non-religious…we have not been teaching our children Jesus. They have not taught their children…we need a major awakening and a turning to God…a revival here in America…a come to Jesus movement.

 

Have you been baptized…yes or no? Do you believe Jesus died and was raised from the dead…yes or no? Will you be baptized...yes or no? Jesus said He that believes and is baptized will be saved…Mark 16:16

 

Prayer

Father please meet our soul’s deepest needs for forgiveness and reconciliation…and help us be fully converted or adopted by You…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
