Title: Heavenly Father (Romans 8:14-17)
Contents
☞Text:14 Anyone who is led by the Spirit of God is a son of God.
15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the spirit of adoption, so we cry out, Father, Father.
16 The Holy Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.
17 If children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ, as we must suffer together in order that we may be glorified with him.
==================================================== ===================================
“I cry of that love just by calling my father. A father who loved a sinner like me. How can I express the love that I cannot bear even if I cry all day? Father, Father, my Father, who calls from the depths of my soul, My Father, my father, who is very good, who will protect and guide me until the day my life dies.”
Do you believe that God the Father is a good Father?
Our Heavenly Father is a very good Father. Why are you good?
1) He is a person who has no regrets when it comes to work for me.
If you had a ledger listing people who should help even if they killed my own children, whose name would it be? It will be blank. I don't know for whom I can give myself, but I can't give up my children.
However, God has such a ledger, and the names of the ledger are densely written on it, including Kang Jae-sik and your names.
My name is written on the list of those who will give up my only begotten son for me.
God gave His only begotten Son to die on the cross for me. And now you have made us children. That is, he became a father.
If the book had a list of rich people, John 3:16 would have been written like this. “God so loved the rich, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him might have eternal life.” (Those who study well, those who have a good face, those who are young, etc.)
However, the Bible is the proof that “God so loved the world…” that there is also my name.
“I cry at that love just by calling my father”
2) He is the father who makes you call him “Dad”.
The difference between a father and a father is--a father who can use a pack. A father who can hang on
3) The father who inherits all his property
A physical father does not inherit all property. However, Heavenly Father inherits the entire kingdom of heaven and gives him all his glory.
Can you believe that God is the Father?
Verse 16, “The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.”
Man has body, soul, and spirit, and the soul and spirit are also called soul. It is the spirit that a person has sinned and died, and the role of the spirit is to have fellowship with God. If the spirit is dead, then they do not know God. Believing in Jesus means that the Holy Spirit came and awakened my dead spirit so that I could know God. So, referring to the Holy Spirit, the “spirit of adoption”, that is, the “spirit of making children of God.” The Holy Spirit of adoption comes among us, and our spirit comes to life, and as the spirit comes to life, our lips call God Father or Father. (15) Being able to call God Father with my lips is proof that the Holy Spirit is with me and that I have become a child of God. We often say, “I have received the Holy Spirit.”
Heavenly Father, the Father with honor and glory and power for ever and ever, Father over all things, Almighty Father! Don't hesitate to call, run, and swarm to your heart's content.
Because God is my Father, do not be anxious about anything, do not be afraid and live confidently.
