Becoming A Member Of God’s Family
Jn. 1:10-13
God initiated the institution of marriage with the purpose of making man enjoy a fulfilled life on earth. But man chose to disobey God and follow the desires of his own heart thereby forfeiting all the blessings God had in plan for him; including the blessing of joy in marriage. The only way back into these blessings is by accepting the death of Jesus Christ on the cross as payment for sin, and by committing oneself to obedience to God’s commands. This brings man to be spiritually born into God’s family and to have assurance of God’s backing. The surest foundation one needs to lay in order to have an enjoyable family life is to first be born-again. There will be serious challenges that the family will face. Without God’s backing, many families crumble in the face of these challenges.
Point of Emphasis: God gives the right to those who accept Jesus to become His children.
Prayer Point: Father, open the eyes of those families who are struggling with challenges outside of your will so they can turn to you.
