Well, dear friend, if you are a believer in Jesus, you are a child of God; for we are “all the children of God, by faith in Christ Jesus.”
As a son of God, you are distinguished from the world, you are honored above the world. To you belong the promises of grace, the provisions of Providence, and the prospects of glory. For you the throne of grace is erected, the Word of God is preserved, and the Intercessor in heaven pleads. To you the glory of God should be dear, the name of Christ precious, and the work of God delightful. By you the cause of God should be espoused, the people of God should be encouraged, and the enemies of God should be warned. You should walk with God, work for God, and expect great things from God.
If you are a child of God, you are a servant of Christ. Jesus died for you to redeem you. He paid the price of your ransom; and, being bought with a price, the one object of your life should be to glorify Him. Act for Christ, so that all who know you may be compelled to say,
“If there is a Christian upon earth, that is one.”
If you ever ask the question, “What am I?” answer it by your life, and say,
“I am a son of God, I am a servant of Christ, I am, therefore, an heir of glory.”
