Faithful Obedient Children

Jesus Christ, the Son of God came to bring many sons to glory and those who believe in Him have the power to become sons of God. We read in John 1:12”But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name,”

We are called to become children of God as Jesus Christ Himself, is the Son of God and Jesus was appointed as a son over His father's house. He proved Himself to be a faithful son. He looked after His Father's house until that day that He was crucified. He hung on that cross and He had fulfilled the mission for which the Father had sent Him. He proved Himself as a faithful steward over those whom God appointed Him, the disciples that the Father gave Him. He cared for them, He taught them how to be children of God, sons of God.

We read in Hebrews 3:2”He was faithful to Him who appointed Him,” verse 6 “but Christ was faithful as a Son over His house—WHOSE HOUSE WE ARE, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end.”

WE BECOME THE HOUSE OF GOD, BECAUSE GOD DWELLS IN US, IF WE BECOME SONS OF GOD, but it is required of us to be faithful son as Jesus Himself was faithful. The faithful son will be rewarded. The Father loves the sons, He loves every child that He accepts. It doesn't matter where you come from, God loves you BUT you need to be faithful. He accepts us, he cleanses us, He accepts us fully into His house, without reservation. It doesn't matter where you come from but then YOU MUST ACT AS A FAITHFUL CHILD OF GOD. While you are in the house, you will be coached, you will be punished, you will be chastised, you will be taught the ways of the Father. And if you endure until the very end, as Jesus endured, you will win the prize of eternal life as He Himself won that prize of eternal life. But those who are unfaithful, those who have a wicked heart, those who keep on jumping the fence, who are rebellious, they will perish!

We are warned in Hebrews 3:12”Take care, brethren, lest there should be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart in falling away from the living God. 13But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called “Today,” lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. 14FOR WE HAVE BECOME PARTAKERS OF CHRIST, IF WE HOLD FAST THE BEGINNING OF OUR ASSURANCE FIRM UNTIL THE END,”

If we stay in the Father's house we are safe, but if like the prodigal son, we say:”Dad I don't want to live here any more. I don't like your discipline. I wan to take my stuff and go.” He will let you go, but while you are out YOU ARE DEAD! There are many people who want to jump the fence every day and come and say:”Hey dad, I am sorry, but I couldn't help it. I had to jump the fence.” That is an unfaithful son, and while He is outside jumping that fence every day, he might die, and he will perish. The prodigal son was outside of the Father's house, by his own choice, but there was joy when this son came back because the father said:”My son who WAS DEAD has come back to life”

We are only safe as long as our heart is in the Father's house, because then He can correct us, He can coach us, He can protect us but if we are outside, jumping the fence, doing sin, then we are in satan's territory and if we die outside that gate, we will perish.

Are you in the Father's house? Is your heart in the Father's house or is your heart outside? It is required of us that we be faithful sons as Jesus Himself was a faithful Son. ONLY THOSE WHO ARE FAITHFUL AND ENDURE UNTIL THE END WILL RECEIVE THE INHERITTANCE FROM THE FATHER, which is ETERNAL LIFE. We need to be faithful until the very end.

May Jesus bless you.
