The expression “Ye are of God,” as used in our opening verse means you originate from God; you’re His reproduction – His offspring! It’s so important for you as a child of God to understand that having been born again, you’re of a divine ancestry; you hail from God; your origin is in Him. No wonder the Bible declares in Acts 17:28: “For in him we live, and move, and have our being…For we are also his offspring.”
James 1:18 says, “Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.” God gave birth to you of His own will, by the Word of truth, meaning you’re a child of the Word. Apostle Peter reiterates the same thought in 1 Peter 1:23: “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.”
Let the reality of this dawn on you; you’re born from above, you’re not of natural descent (John 1:12-13). Always be bold and quick to declare your divine ancestry, for you’re not of this world!
