A Masterpiece
June 25, 2025
I am a child of God because I have received Him, and I believe in His name:
John 1:12 To all who received him, those believing in His name, He gave authority to become God's children.
A masterpiece created in Jesus Christ:
Ephesians 2:10 For we are God's masterpiece, created in the Messiah Jesus to perform good actions that God prepared long ago to be our way of life.
Set free from the Law of sin and death:
Romans 8:1-2 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in union with the Messiah Jesus. For the Spirit's Law of life in the Messiah, Jesus has set me free from the Law of sin and death.
Righteous by way of Jesus the Messiah, through faith:
Philippians 3:9... not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the Law, but one that comes through the faithfulness of the Messiah, the righteousness that comes from God and that depends on faith.
Called His friend:
John 15:15 I no longer call you servants because a servant does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from my Father.
An heir:
Romans 8:17 Now if we are children, we are heirs - heirs of God and co-heirs with the Messiah if, in fact, we share in His sufferings in order that we may also share in His glory.
Fellow citizen with the saints and a member of God's household:
Ephesians 2:19 That is why you are no longer strangers and foreigners but fellow citizens with the saints and members of God's household.
A daughter of the Lord Almighty:
2 Corinthians 6:18 I will be your Father, and you will be my sons and daughters, declares the Lord Almighty.
Therefore:
He causes me to know the path of life; in His presence is joyful abundance, and at His right hand, there are pleasures forever. (Psalm 16:11)
