“So now you Gentiles are no longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens along with all of God’s holy people. You are members of God’s family.” Ephesians 2:19 Our Sonship in Christ is not only about the rights that we enjoy. It is also about nearness! It’s about belonging. In […]
“So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are His child, God has made you also an heir.” Galatians 4:7 Sonship in Christ is not just a spiritual status, it is a posture, a new way of being in the world. Many believers live like […]
“But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.” John 1:12 There is no greater identity, no deeper belonging, than to be called a child of God. John 1:12 reminds us that sonship is not earned, it is given. It is […]
“what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!” 1 John 3:1 Before we took our first breath, before we could earn or achieve anything, He chose us Ephesians 1:4-5. This truth dismantles our performance-based religion. […]
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28 When we think of God’s goodness, we often imagine comfort, peace, and answered prayers. But Job’s life challenges that picture. He was upright […]
“But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold.” Job 23:10 One of the most stunning revelations of God’s goodness in the book of Job is not merely seen in Job’s suffering, but in God’s confidence in him. When Satan […]
“But He knows the way that I take; when He has tested me, I will come forth as gold.” Job 23:10 When Job spoke these words, he was in a dark place, confused, afflicted, and seemingly unheard by God! Yet, from within the silence and suffering, Job clung to one […]
“Though He slay me, yet will I hope in Him…” Job 13:15 In the midst of unimaginable suffering, Job utters one of the most astonishing statements of trust in the goodness of God. He is not saying God is cruel, he is saying, even when I don’t understand His hand, […]
Shall we accept good from God and not trouble?” Job 2:10 Job’s story is a hard one. He lost everything, children, wealth, health, and yet, even in unimaginable pain, he refused to curse God. His response to his wife’s plea to “curse God and die” was this: “Shall we accept […]
“Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands…” Job 1:10. Before Job ever lost anything, Satan acknowledged something powerful: God’s goodness had surrounded Job like a hedge. His life was protected, preserved, and prospered, not […]
“The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” Job 1:21 It’s easy to declare that God is good when life feels good, when prayers are answered, doors open, and blessings overflow. But Job reminds us that God’s goodness is not dependent on […]
“Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’” Isaiah 30:21 Being led by God is not reserved for a select few, it is the privilege of every believer. God desires to guide […]
“And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power… to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ.” Ephesians 3:17–18. At the heart of Paul’s prayer lies a profound longing, not merely for believers to accumulate knowledge about God, […]
“…and to know this love that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.” Ephesians 3:19. Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 3 invites us into something extraordinary: “Lord, give me the strength to grasp the vastness of Your love.” This is not mere […]
