June has been a very busy month. Lots of activity. My mind has been very busy. I'm very much looking forward to my planned trip to the monastery in August. I've decided on St. Gregory's Abbey in Three Rivers Michigan. I'm looking forward to quiet time and reflection. Time to be alone with God and worship with the monks. To listen to the still small voice and to look for answers. To get some much needed rest. To look for direction and spiritual reading. Maybe some Church Fathers reading. I'd very much like to try St. Augustine. I am excited. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers in the last two weeks of August.

ARE WE ALL GOD'S CHILDREN? BY STEVE FINNELL
ReplyDeleteAre Muslims, Hindus, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, atheists, and all other men, God's children? No, they are not. They are all created by God, but they are not all God's children. God loves them all, but they are not all God's children.
Who are God's children? Christians are God's children.
Galatians 3:26-27 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. (KJV)
Men become children of God by faith in Christ Jesus and being baptized into Him.
John 11-12 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name;(KJV)
The Jews who rejected Jesus as the Christ were not God's children. Those who believe in Jesus have the opportunity to become God's children.
GOD LOVES ALL MEN, HOWEVER, SALVATION IS CONDITIONAL.
Terms to become the children of God.
A. Faith: John 3:16
B. Repentance: Acts 2:38, Acts 3:19
C. Confession: Romans 10:9
C. Immersion in water: Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38, 1 Peter 3:21.
All men have the opportunity to become God's children. Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for you all one in Christ Jesus.(KJV)
ALL MEN ARE NOT GOD'S CHILDREN, HOWEVER, THEY ALL CAN BE.
