According to 1 John 3:1- 3, we are called children of God and we are! Now we are children of God and we know that when Jesus Christ is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. Everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure. This proclamation is a reminder of how we are created to be like Christ.
Obviously, the words of this proclamation apply to women as well as to men. Feel free to say the words out loud as you watch the video.
Worshipping God will help you to open up your heart to His Word and to receive what your Heavenly Father wants to reveal to you - personally and intimately. As you sing the words of these songs, start receiving the Father's love.
In John 14:6, Jesus says: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” In that statement, there are two main elements: the way and the destination. Jesus is the way, but the Father is the destination. Multitudes of Christians are on the way but they’ve never arrived at their destination. They have never come to know God personally as a Father and missed the real point of the coming of Jesus. Knowing God as Father will revolutionise your life.
Good and Almighty Father, thank You for loving me. You have predestined me to adoption as your child by Jesus Christ to Yourself, according to the good pleasure of Your will, to the praise of the glory of Your grace, by which You made me accepted in the Beloved.
May Christ dwell in my heart through faith, and may I, being rooted and established in Your love, have power, together with all Your people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and know this love that surpasses knowledge – that I may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Help me to follow Your example, as a dearly loved child and to live a life of love, just as Christ loved me and gave Himself up for me as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
I believe that You have poured out Your love in my heart through Your Holy Spirit. I want to be led by Your Spirit continually and live as Your child, loving and serving others. Help me to become all that You want me to be; help me to be like Christ, my Saviour, for your glory.
Amen.
