The Household of God


From: TFTW Bible Collge

When we are saved, God adopts us into His family. “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.” (1 John 3:1) Those that believe in Jesus and are baptized into Jesus are children of God. “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” (Galatians 3:26-29) Do you see that all nations can come into God’s family like Isaiah prophesied? There is no longer a separation between Jew and Greek, or Jew and Gentile. Whoever believes and is baptized can be saved and be a part of God’s family. “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.” (Mark 16:16

The verses in Galatians also call Christians “heirs.” An heir is someone who receives an inheritance. Once we are in the family of God, we are eligible to receive an inheritance of eternal life in Heaven with Him. “And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.” (Romans 8:17)
