Children
Do you like kids? If so, you probably delight in watching them discover
their world. Their minds and eyes are wide open as they accept your words
as truth. Jesus Christ taught that people should have faith in him like
a child has faith in a parent.
When we believe
in Jesus Christ, we become children of God. He disciplines us as children
because he loves us as his children (see Hebrews 12:7-11). Children of
God will go to live with him when they die or when Christ comes again.
Everyone
who believes in Jesus Christ alone for salvation is a child of God.
