As I have mentioned on my previous post, I’m going to
share to you some of the benefits of being a child of
God.
This will be part of my “Lima Series” wherein I’m going share to you 5 benefits, 5 how to’s and 5 truths of different topics.
In this post I’m going to give you five benefits of being a child of God patterned to the spelling of the word “child”.
C – Covered
You are now inside God’s covering. Nothing can stand against you anymore. You are safe, secured and protected.
“What then shall we say to all these things? If God is
for us, who can be [successful] against us?” – Romans
8:31 Amplified Bible (AMP)
H – Heir
You read it right! Being a child of God means that you are now God’s heir. You are legally entitled of God’s inheritance.
“And if [we are His]children, [then we are His] heirs
also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ
[sharing His spiritual blessing and inheritance], if
indeed we share in His suffering so that we may also
share in His glory.” – Romans 8:17 Amplified Bible
(AMP)
I – Identified
No more identity crisis! As you have accepted Jesus Christ and became a child of God you are now identified through Christ Jesus.
“I have been crucified with Christ [that is, in Him I
have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who
live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in
the body I live by faith [by adhering to, relying on,
and completely trusting] in the Son of God, who loved
me and gave Himself up for me.” – Galatians
2:20Amplified Bible (AMP)
“Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted
in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a
new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit];
the old things [the previous moral and spiritual
condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have
come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life].”
– 2 Corinthians 5:17 Amplified Bible (AMP)
L – Loved
You are loved! That’s why you became a child of God in the first place. You are loved regardless of what you may have done in the past. Regardless of the weight, your sins are no more. To Him, you are as precious as gold, more significant than any jewel in the world.
“So he got up and went to his father. But while he was
still a long way off, his father saw him and was
filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son,
threw his arms around him and kissed him. The son said
to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and
against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your
son.’ “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick!
Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on
his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened
calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate.
For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he
was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.” –
Luke 15:20-24 New International Version (NIV)
D – Destined To Prosper
Since God is your Father, He doesn’t want to see you lacking but He wants you to prosper and enjoy an abundant life. He has a promise for you and that is to prosper!
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the
Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans
to give you hope and a future.” – Jeremiah 29:11New
International Version (NIV)
There you go! These are just some! There are still a lot of benefits you are gaining from being a child of God. It’s His promise to us, His gift. Remind yourself of these promises everyday and you will experience breakthroughs in your life!
