Adoption has it privileges
The bible teaches us that once we accept Christ as our savior that we are then adopted into God’s family. This has always been a powerful truth yet today I noticed something while doing my devotional reading that hit me in a mighty way.
Jeremiah 31:36-37 “I am as likely to reject my people Israel as I am to abolish the laws of nature!” This is what the Lord says: “Just as the heavens cannot be measured and the foundations of the earth cannot be explored, so I will not consider casting them away for the evil they have done. I, the Lord, have spoken!
Reading this passage I noticed the extreme value God places on His children. I cannot imagine that God will ever abolish the laws of nature because they are what is needed to sustain the world He created. So if He is not going to abolish the law of nature then His word tells me that He will not abolish me because I have been adopted into the family of Israel through Jesus and the sacrificial price He paid for my life!
I have messed up and sinned against God more times that I like to admit, yet God is not willing to cast me out! Through Christ I have access into a family that the devil can never pull me out of!!
What an awesome God we serve!
Thank you Jesus for allowing me to enter into this royal family and receive all the privileges that a son of King is entitled to!
I am sure I could go on and on about this scripture but I really must begin to think about the sermon that God has for us this week. ROCC family…you don’t want to miss this one!
