Walk as a child of God

Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.
- John 1:12-13

Being a child of God is the greatest of all gifts we can receive as human beings. No other created being has this privilege. When we believe in Jesus and accept Him by faith, we cease to be mere creatures and become adopted as children by our heavenly Father. This adoption, through the great love of God and by means of His only begotten Son, is something truly wonderful!

Those who are born of God can walk in His presence, trusting and conforming themselves to Jesus, our Lord and our goal. If we fix our attention on the Son of God, we will find in Him our standard and the best example for pleasing the Father in everything. Along the journey, through faith and with the refinement that comes from God, we gradually acquire traits of Christ’s character and become more like Him, as genuine and beloved children of the Father.

Walk and live as a child of God!

  • If you have not yet received Jesus as Lord in your heart, this is the first step to becoming a child of God.
  • Repent of your mistakes and believe in Jesus to be accepted into God’s great family.
  • Jesus is the best reference for learning how to be better children of God—get to know Him through the Bible.
  • Seek to stay close to God daily, demonstrating in practice your love and devotion to Him.
  • Gather with other brothers and sisters in Christ, in a healthy Christian family, to love, serve, and be built up in faith.

Prayer:

Lord God, thank You for loving me and accepting me as a child in Your great family. By Your grace in Jesus Christ, I can receive forgiveness and salvation, to be with You forever. Help me, in all my life, to walk like Your Son Jesus, who honored and loved You to the very end. Amen!

Yesterday's Devotional

How good it is to wake up in the morning

Waking up in the morning is a moment of renewal and hope, and the reflection in Book of Psalms 143:8 resonates deeply with this experience. The psalm invites us to begin the day seeking God’s faithful love.

Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
for to you I entrust my life.
- Psalms 143:8

This phrase expresses a sincere desire to receive divine warmth and guidance from the very beginning of the day. When the sun rises and we awaken to a new day, it is the perfect moment to connect with that love.

Morning represents a new beginning, a chance to restart and reevaluate our intentions. Asking God to hear His faithful love is recognizing that we need His constant presence in our lives. This love is a source of comfort and security that accompanies us through all the challenges we face.

Furthermore, the psalm says: “Show me the way I should go, for to You I lift up my soul.” This plea invites God to guide us with His wisdom, helping us find the right path to follow. Every morning, as we lift our souls to God, we ask for direction and clarity to face the day with confidence and purpose.

As we open our eyes to a new day, may we receive divine love with gratitude and seek God’s guidance, transforming every morning into an opportunity to strengthen our faith and find the path that leads to fullness.

Starting the day with purpose

  • Seek God’s presence as soon as you wake up, asking for His guidance.
  • Receive God’s love as a comfort and a daily source of hope.
  • Ask for clarity and direction to face the challenges that arise during the day.

Prayer

Lord, as I begin this day, I seek Your guidance and love. Fill me with Your peace and clarity so that I may follow Your ways and face challenges with confidence. May Your presence be my guide and comfort, and may I fully trust in Your care. Amen.

Day Before Yesterday's Devotional

Defend the gospel!

"When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in front of them all, “You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then, that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs?""
Galatians 2:14

Already in his old age and close to death, the apostle Paul told Timothy to be "ready in season and out of season", and forewarned him of the problems that would occur in the future. This advice did not come without experience, as the apostle himself had lived through situations in which he defended the truth in unexpected ways.

In his letter to the Galatians, Paul recounts the time he met Peter, an older apostle who had walked with Christ for years. He might have been intimidated or apprehensive about rebuking him, but dared to do so nonetheless.

In the same way, we must not be intimidated by anyone, and we must stand up for the truth. To do so, we must also train ourselves, and be prepared in season and out of season.

Be ready

  • Prepare yourself by reading the Bible every day.
  • Pray to God and ask him to reveal himself to you, deepen your relationship with the Father.
  • Be courageous enough to be yourself as a Christian in daily life.

Pray:

Lord, my God and Father, I pray to you to give me the wisdom to take a stand at times when the truth is being distorted. Give me, Father, the courage to stand before unbelievers and preach the gospel. Help me, Holy Spirit of God, to be prepared in season and out of season, in Jesus' name, amen.
