Sons of God
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
Romans 8:14
When we were born, the bible says that we were born into slavery to sin. We are bound and prevented to receive any blessing from the Almighty God.
But this all changed at the cross. When our LORD Jesus died and rose again, He offered everyone who believed in His name sonship.
We were all offered freedom from slavery and also adoption as sons and daughters of Almighty God, which also comes with authority and eligibility to receive all blessings from the one and only God.
But many times even after we accept and believe that LORD Jesus Christ is the only true God and that He died for our sins, we live a life as a slave, feel bound in chains, filled with sorrow and pain and disappointment and failure and act like slaves who have no freedom.
The reason is because, even though we accepted and believed in LORD Jesus Christ, we are not led by the Spirit of God after that.
We are still in the world and doing the things of the world and not focusing, giving priority to the things of God.
The Holy Spirit who comes to dwell in us the moment we are saved, guides us, talks to us, instructs us, teaches us to walk in the ways of God.
But most often we neglect or ignore and walk in the ways of the world.
Instead of showing love, we show hatred, instead of being satisfied with what God has given we show discontent, instead of forgiving we carry bitterness, instead of trusting God we start worrying, instead of seeking God and praying and reading the word, we seek to spend time in worldly things, instead of seeking God's will in everything, we strive hard to do our own will and even ask God to bless our own will and plans for us and our children.
All these things and much more of the things of the flesh we do, makes us slaves again, in spite of God redeeming us from it.
But God has called you and me to be sons and daughters of Him and He has given us His Spirit to help us, to lead us and show us, so we can live not as slaves but as sons of God filled with all of His blessings.
Today make it your lifestyle to be led by the Spirit of God, so you can live life like a son or daughter of the most High God.
