God's child.

Being called God's child means having a unique, loving relationship with God, grounded in faith and embraced through spiritual adoption, with promises of love, inheritance, guidance, and purpose.

Our Identity as God’s Children.

To be God’s child is to hold a special identity given through faith in Jesus Christ.

It signifies that believers are adopted into God’s family, moving beyond mere creation to a close, personal relationship with the Creator.

This identity comes with assurance: we are loved, accepted, and valued unconditionally (John 1:12; 1 John 3:1).

The Holy Spirit confirms this relationship internally, serving as a witness to our new status as God’s children (Romans 8:16; Galatians 4:7).

The Love and Security of a Heavenly Father.

Being God’s child means being enveloped in His boundless and unfailing love, which comforts, strengthens, and motivates us to love others in return (Romans 5:8; 1 John 4:16).

God’s fatherly care assures us of His protection and presence through all circumstances, giving us confidence and peace (Psalm 103:13; Isaiah 41:10; Hebrews 13:5).

This love is the foundation for our relationship and the source of our hope.

Living Out Our Identity.

As children of God, we are called to reflect His character by living with compassion, kindness, humility, and righteousness—essentially embodying the love of Christ in our daily lives (Ephesians 5:1; Colossians 3:12; 1 Peter 2:9).

We shine as lights in the world, impacting others through our faith and good works (Matthew 5:14; Philippians 2:15).

Our Inheritance and Purpose.

Being God’s child also means we are heirs to a spiritual inheritance—eternal life and the blessings of God's kingdom (Romans 8:17; Galatians 4:7; 1 Peter 1:4).

This inheritance encourages us to live with hope and purpose, knowing our lives have eternal significance.

We are called to walk in faith, confidently trusting God’s promises and guidance every step of the way (2 Corinthians 5:7; Hebrews 11:1; Proverbs 3:5-6).

Guidance, Discipline, and Growth.

God’s children receive His guidance through the Holy Spirit, teaching us to walk in His truth and make wise choices (John 16:13; Psalm 32:8).

God's discipline, like that of a loving parent, helps us grow spiritually and become more like Christ, which fosters resilience and maturity (Hebrews 12:6; Proverbs 3:12).

Spreading God’s Love.

Finally, being God’s child means sharing His love with others.

We are called to love deeply, serve humbly, and encourage one another, spreading the message of God’s grace and hope in a broken world (John 13:34; 1 John 3:18; Galatians 5:13).

In essence, to be God's child is to belong to a divine family where love, identity, purpose, and eternal hope are secured by faith in Jesus Christ, transforming believers into reflections of God’s character and carriers of His love throughout their lives.

  Welcome to Hell . what does the bible say? People often speak of heaven as "up" and hell as "down." In the Old Testament the Hebrew word sheol was used for hell or the grave while the Greek word used in the New Testament, hades, referred to the unseen world of the dead and was often associated with judgment. Gehenna was another Greek word used to describe hell, meaning the Valley of Hinnom. This valley existed outside of the city of Jerusalem as a burning rubbish heap and was associated with judgment and fire (Matthew 10:28; Mark 9:43). Where is hell? While some passages speak of hell or the place of judgment being below the earth or downward (1 Samuel 28:13-15; Luke 10:15), hell exists in a non-physical realm. Similar to heaven, hell exists beyond our physical universe as a place where the souls of humans continue to dwell. For unbelievers, hell includes ongoing torment (Luke 16:23) and is permanent (Luke 16:26). Those in hell appear to be able to see at least pa...

What is the one-world religion described in Revelation?

What is the one-world religion described in Revelation? What will be the one-world religion of the end times?. Revelation 17 speaks of a "great prostitute" (or "great harlot") that is generally understood as a metaphor for a false religion that will exist during the tribulation period. Many have debated the identity of this religion, with some arguing the Roman Catholic Church, Islam, or another  large religious movement will be the end-times, one-world religion. However, it is more likely that the false religion of the last days will consist of an inclusive religion that allows for a pluralistic view of God. This would include even liberal monotheistic groups that see "all religions as one" and are willing to worship the Antichrist in the last days. Whatever this religion is, it will certainly exclude any faith that is exclusive and refuses to worship the Antichrist or his image. Revelation 17:6 states, "And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of ...

American King James Version And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved, and your house.Acts 16:31. 16:25-34 The consolations of God to his suffering servants are neither few nor small. How much more happy are true Christians than their prosperous enemies! As in the dark, so out of the depths, we may cry unto God. No place, no time is amiss for prayer, if the heart be  lifted up to God. No trouble, however grievous, should hinder us from praise. Christianity proves itself to be of God, in that it obliges us to be just to our own lives. Paul cried aloud to make the jailer hear, and to make him heed, saying, Do thyself no harm. All the cautions of the word of God against sin, and all appearances of it, and approaches to it, have this tendency. Man, woman, do not ruin thyself; hurt not thyself, and then none else can hurt thee; do not sin, for nothing but that can hurt thee. Even as to the body, we are cautioned against the sins which do harm to that. Conv...
