Not Everyone Are Children of God
Not everyone are the children of God.
Just cause you were born does not mean you are Gods child.
There has to be a supernatural birth.
I've heard many times that God loves all His children, referring to the world. And its true in one part , that He loves the world ( '..for God so loved the world...') the problem with this thinking is that you assume everyone is a child of God. but not everyone Is! the world wants no part of Him, don't want to be apart of Him.
Only the ones who humble themselves, repent, and surrender to Jesus can become the children of God.
The identity is not inherited by natural birth, but rather by supernatural birth!
Because of sin we are naturally the sons of the devil. there has to be a supernatural re-birth to be a child of God! That is the reason Christ came, to bring life, life abundant!
COMFORT!
A little girl came home from a neighbor's house where her little friend had died. "Why did you go?" questioned her father. "To comfort my friend’s mother," said the child matter-of-factly. "What could you possibly do to comfort her?" asked the father. "I climbed into her lap and we cried." (The Story of Jesus). We all go through troubled times. How sweet it is when someone comes alongside to hold us, to cry with us…to comfort us! Likely, there are some…perhaps many…among us today who desperately need someone to say, “Come, climb into my lap. Let me hold you and cry with you and bring you comfort.” If that is you, be encouraged. Look up. Smile. Comfort can be yours today! Yes, we all face troubled times. And one of the words that certainly can help us endure such times, is the word: COMFORT.
Where?
But where? Where does real, lasting comfort come from? And how can we be comforted today?
2 Corinthians 1:3-4 HCSB
Praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort. He comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any kind of affliction,
