For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus (Galatians
3:26).
In Acts 3:25, when the Apostle Peter was preaching to the Jews, he said
to them, “Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant….” Peter was
speaking spiritually. He didn’t mean they were the children of the Prophets in
the sense that they were born by the wives of the Prophets; no. There’s an
understanding we need to get from this that’s very important: When he called
them the children of the Prophets, he meant children of the promise, or the
spoken Word.
Now, if they were the children of the Prophets and of the covenants, who
then are we? A major problem in the world today is identity crisis. Many don’t
know who they are. They’re still grappling with the questions: Who am I? What
am I doing on earth? What’s my life about? The believers in the early Church
didn’t argue with him (Peter), because they knew he was telling them the truth
about their identity. They weren’t in the covenant; they were the children of
the covenant.
Many Christians celebrate the idea that they’re in covenant with God.
No! We’re not in covenant with God; we’re children of the covenant. That’s who
we are; we’re the result of the covenant. Galatians 3:27-29 says, “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.”
The Apostle Paul, in the foregoing scripture, lets us know that we’re as
much Abraham’s seed as the Jews that Peter addressed in his epistle. The new
creation is the actual spiritual seed of Abraham. We’re heirs of the promise.
Romans 8:17 says, “…if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with
Christ….” That’s who we are; that’s our identity! It’s a present-hour reality.
Hallelujah!
CONFESSION
I know who I am, and what belongs to me. I’m Abraham’s seed, an heir of
God and a joint-heir with Christ. Christ is in me; in Him I live and move and
have my being. Greater is He that’s in me than he that’s in the world. Satan
and the world are under my feet. I live in victory, divine health and
prosperity, and my life gravitates upwards and forward only, from glory to
glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Further Study: || 1 John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have
overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the
world. ||
|| 1 John 3:1 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. ||
