Focus: What makes a Bastard

WORD FOR TODAY
Misbehaviour is what makes a man a bastard. What makes a man a legitimate child of God is the conformity of his life to that of Christ!!!
************************************
Scriptural Reference
"If God doesn't discipline you as he does all of his children, it means that you are illegitimate and are not really his children after all." (Hebrew 12:8 NLT)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A man can only claim to be a child of God if and only if he resembles Christ in his attributes. If we bear Christians names, speaks spiritual languages, engage in spiritual activities but fails to live the life of Christ in loving, forgiving, simplicity of life, caring and making the will of God the Father a priority we do not belong to Him.

The Lord Jesus made it clear to us that several men, despite their self-acclaimed labour for God, will be rejected. Whatever you do in deviation to the life of Christ, the author and the finisher of our faith, is regarded as misbehaviour under God. Legitimate children God don't live in sin; their lives are characterized by love, righteousness, holiness and Godliness.

+ Are you a legitimate Child under God?

Lord! I receive the grace to deny myself and resemble Christ in His attributes in Jesus name. Amen!!!

Emphasis:
Legitimate children of God has something in common; they resemble Christ in His attributes!!!

Have a Gracious Friday!!!
