What does being a Son or Daughter of God or a true Christian mean? It is not just a title, like a doctorate or similar position. It is an identification of a different species, that may look like the regular people on earth, but this time from a different kingdom.
Sons and Daughters of God are not of this earth. They are of the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The kingdom of this earth is the kingdom of the first Adam, but sadly ruled by the devil itself (ref.: 2 Corinthians 4:4), due to the fall of Adam.
The second reason Jesus came as man was to establish a new era, His kingdom. And anyone who confesses with their mouth, the Lord Jesus, and believe in heart that God raised Him from the dead, they will automatically be translated from the kingdom of this world to His kingdom (ref.: Romans 10:9; Colossians 1:13). All, these are possible because of the first reason Jesus came as a man was to free us from the bondage of sin by taking our place in exchange for His life (ref.: 2 Corinthians 5:21).
So, what are the Sons and Daughters of God meant to do here on earth. First of all Sons and Daughters of God are like soldiers of our Lord Jesus Christ because they are on a mission and need to be focused (ref.: 2 Timothy 2:3-4).
The whole world is coming to an end, and the devil who knows its time is near wants to make sure no one is saved. This is why it attacks the Sons and Daughters of God through distractions from things of this world, persecution from unsaved people and even some government, antagonism and more, just to discourage the Sons and Daughters of God and ensure the lost are not saved (ref.: John 15:18-25; 16:1-4).
The work of the Sons and Daughters of God is very crucial because they have all been sent by Jesus to spread the good news of salvation, thus letting people know that the world is coming to an end and they need to be saved to be translated into the kingdom of Jesus.
Sons and Daughters of God need to always meditate on the word of God day and night to keep up the spark of their faith in Christ Jesus in the leading of the Holy Spirit, who guides them into all truth, leading them on where to go and how to go about the mission.
They are not too entangled with things of this world because it is very enticing and distracting. This is where the Holy Spirit comes in, whom we are listening to.
The new era has begun already, but would properly be inaugurated in the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. We should not take things for granted, for no one knows the day or time our Lord Jesus will return (ref.: Matthew 24:36; 1 Thessalonians 5:2; 2 Peter 3:10).
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
