Sons and Daughters of the Living God (4)

Friday, July 31: Romans 8:12 – 39.

            Pay particular attention to Romans 8:29 – how does this connect with what we read in Hebrews Chapter 2? (Also see Galatians 4:1 – 7).

            Can we see that our Father wants a family of sons and daughters? Can we see the ID card that our Father wants us to carry in our wallets? In our hearts and minds and souls?

            Can we see that our Father desires us to be image – bears of His Son Jesus Christ?

            How important is it that we grow up and mature as sons and daughters? Take a look at Romans 8:19 – 21. The longer we run around in diapers leaving trails of doodoo all over the place the longer creation will groan in agony. The longer we play with childish religious things and engage in endless speculation about things that don’t matter the longer this world waits for its deliverance.

            Who are we? What’s our core identity? What’s in our wallet?
