A Matter of Praying…part 2 or 5 Privileges as a Child of God

God has children, children who are adopted into His family.  Every new believer who has accepted Christ as Saviour is grafted into the family of God and has a seat at the table of God. We are joint-heirs with Christ and heirs of God.

Being a Child of God has its privileges; knowing the Creator of this vast universe inclines his ear to hear our prayers and answers every one of them. This is a promise from God.

When He makes a promise they are fulfilled. He is a Father but not an earthly man and therefore he can never tell a lie. Unlike us He is perfect and all His words and ways are right.

To understand Him is to get to know him.

By spending time with him, talking to him, and reading His word we draw near to Him.  As we draw to God, He in turn comes near to us because He cannot deny Himself. 

If He gave the son of His love to save this present evil world, how can he withhold any good thing from us?

He remains faithful because He is faithful.

How awesome is that?

Being a Child of God has 5 of the best privileges.

1. We are adopted into the family of the True and Living God.  Romans 8:15-17
2. We are joint heirs with Christ and heirs of God. Everything is ours: life, love, joy, peace.  Psalm 50:10
3. He hears us at all times. Jeremiah 33:3, 2 Corinthians 1:20
4. He is not a liar. Numbers 23:19.  What He says, He will do and not disappoint.
5. He is faithful. James 4:8 and 2 Timothy 2:13
