Sons and Daughters

From Kingdom Principles Study Guide by Myles Munroe, page 56:

"Jesus came that we might 'receive the full rights of sons.' This is legal language. They refer to legal rights and entitlements based on relationship of birth. We are sons and daughters of God. Sonship is our right by creation. Christ did not die to improve us; He died to regain and confirm us. The price He paid was not to make us worthy but to prove our worth. He did not come to enlist an army of servants. He came to restore the King's sons and daughters to their rightful position- rulership as heirs of His Kingdom."

Each day begin to think and live what Myles shares with us above. His book is revelation! The above has opened up our eyes and ears to see and hear that we are God's children, sons and daughters of God. This alone gives us value and worth but then to think that God the Creator of the Universe would send someone, not just anyone, but His own Son - who died for the cause - that we would be saved "to regain and confirm" the world for Christ! This is unthinkable at first until we receive His love and put our trust in Him. Still so above our thinking! God in Christ died for each one of us. We are restored to the Father as His sons and daughters and we have rulership! We are learning to live as heirs to the Throne!
