“If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” - Galatians 3:29
Romans 11:17 tells every believer that they have been grafted into the family of God due to the Jews' rejection of Christ. Their rejection opened the door for us all to partake in the forgiveness that God so freely offers to all who would believe. However it’s not just believing that is required for scripture tells us that even the demons believe and shudder at the mere mention of the name of Jesus (James 2:19). We must first receive the gift of redemption, then enter into a personal and very intimate relationship with our God, allowing His Spirit to change us from the inside out.
In 2 Samuel 9 it speaks of the lame son of David’s dear friend Jonathan, son of Saul. Since both Jonathan & his father were killed in battle, Mephibosheth was without a family. David took him in and gave him all the privileges he would give his own son. Therefore Mephibosheth was adopted by David. We too are adopted into God’s family and have become rightful heirs to all He has. We are never alone, but rather are a part of something that is bigger than ourselves; we are children of Almighty God. Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
