The Love Of Christ part Two

John 3:35 "The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand." Paul filled with the holyghost wrote to the Galatian church in Galatians4:7"...and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ." Who is a child of God? A child of God is one who has received Jesus Christ as his/her saviour, experience the new birth sealed in the holyghost. A child of God is one who just became born again and unskilled in the things and knowledge of God. A child of God is one in a tender stage in his Christian faith. Now Who is a son? A son is one who is matured in the Christian faith. A son is one holyghost filled and is skilled in the things and knowledge of God. One of the differences between a Son and a child is that a child is self centered. He/she loves attention. While a son is service oriented. If you ask a parent Why they have children they will probably give you two reasons. The first reason Is that so they can have an heir. They want their children to take over their wealth when they leave the world. Inheritance Is not limited to physical things but mental and spiritual things also. A spiritual father tells his spiritual son the secrets of his success in ministry which are revelations of Christ. That's spiritual inheritance. In the days of old as Elijah was going to heaven, Elisha received Elijah mantle( 2kings 2: 1-15) That's also an example of spiritual inheritance. A mother gives her daughter the secret recipe of her soup. That's mental inheritance. Minority groups in a country have children so they can preserve their traditions, cultures and name. The primary goal is that so they won't be forgotten. The second reason why parents want children is investment. Many parents see their children as investment for the future. They have children so that they will take care of them when they grow old. Well It's a fundamental responsibility for adults to take care of their parents. So if you reading this and you have forsaken and neglected their duties to their parents. Please make amends and take care of them. No matter how much they have hurt you in the past take of them. Even though they neglected their duties to you by not taking care of you and providing all that you needed. Take care of them and show them love. As children of love (God is love) we are to pay evil with Good. We are to pay hate with love. Back to our topic children demand while son service. Children love to beg. They are never satisfied. Paul filled with the holyghost wrote to the Galatian church not to be weak or become beggers. Galatians4:9 "But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?" Children are weak in the faith, the word of God while Sons are strong in the Faith, word of God. Children are easily deceived while sons know their right. Children compare themselves to the world while sons compare themselves to the word. So stop comparing yourself to your friends or family. Compare yourself to the word of God. What God has said concerning. Study the word of God and find out what God said concerning you. You are blessed
