So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.” For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God’s children. - Romans 8:16 NLT But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God - John 1: 12 ESV So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit. - Ephesians 2:19-22 ESV So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. - Galatians 6:10 ESV If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together. - 1 Corinthians 12:26 ESV Recommended Songs: The Family Of God - YouTube Song of the Week - #15 - "God's Family" - Tommy Walker - YouTube I'm so glad I'm a part of the Family of God - YouTube We would love to hear from you.
