GOD CREATED YOU BECAUSE HE WANTS A FAMILY
“God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure”. (Ephesians 1:5 NLT).
The church in the Bible is compared to many things. It is called the body of Christ (Rom. 12:5; 1 Cor. 12:27; Ephes. 4:12; Col 1:24). The church is the bride and wife of Christ. People also compare it to an army, a hospital, etc. but the most important thing is that we are the family of God.
Before forming the universe, God wanted to have a family and he thought of you and me. We are not an accident on this earth.
The Church is God’s family. By receiving Christ in our hearts, we become part of God’s family.
So now you Gentiles are no longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens along with all of God’s holy people. You are members of God’s family”. (Ephesians 2:19 NLT)
If you have Christ in your heart you are part of my spiritual family. Your color, race, language, nationality, tastes, etc. does not matter. We are part of the family of God.
God wanted a family and we are part of the most super, monumental, giant, innumerable, exorbitant, mega, largest family in the universe.
“God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure”. (Ephesians 1:5 NLT).
Think about it:
Do you consider yourself part of God’s family?
Have you allowed Jesus to come into your heart?
