What It Means To Be A Child of God 1 John 3:1-3

Becoming Such Referred To As: Birth – John 3:3-5 Adoption – Eph. 1:5 This is not a lesson on BECOMING, but on BEING a child of God

One sense in which all are children of God: By origin – Acts 17:28,29 –We’re talking about what we ARE, not where we came from Use of word “children” –1 John 3:10

God Is My Father 2 Cor. 6:17,18 Matthew 6:25-33 –Cares for –Provides for –Protects

All His children are my brothers Care for and watch for each other –May involve rebuke –Be “brother’s keeper” –Need to allow brothers to help

House of God is My House 1 Tim. 3:15 –“house” means “household” or “family” Luke 2:49 –“business” (KJV) –“Father’s house” (ASV) Church is “our” Father’s house (“business”)

Heaven is My Inheritance Rom. 8: Peter 1:3,4 –If we want inheritance we must live as child in this life 1 John 3:2 – We can’t really describe or know what we shall be or receive –Rev. 21:18 – “pure gold” – “clear glass”

Are You A Child of God? You SHOULD Be! You CAN Be!

What Must I Do To Be Saved? Hear the gospel (Rom. 10:17) Believe Jesus is Christ (Acts 8:37) Repent of your sins (Luke 13:3) Confess your faith (Mt. 10:32) Baptized for remission of sins (Acts 2:38) Walk by faith in newness of life (Rom. 6:4)
