You're God's Child

Do you realize who you are in Christ? Many believers may not really understand who they are in Christ. They have never been taught that the believer's right to become a child of God is through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Your right as a child of God is proven through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Your right in Christ is experienced through prayer. You have a right to call God your Father, because of your faith in Christ. As the Father's child, you have the right to ask Him to forgive you, give to you according to your need, and to deliver you from evil. You ask for His will to be done in your life.

The believer is not a beggar in prayer. You come to God as a child to his father. It's your birthright through faith in Christ. That's the reason you pray in Jesus name. Your requests are made to our Father in the name of the One who has all authority in heaven and on earth. He is your right to become a child of God.

"But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name." - John 1:12
