Today’s Scripture reading is 1 John 3:1-3.
Verse 1 - "...that we should be called the sons of God:"
There is no family like the family of God. This family isn't confined to four walls and a roof. This family isn't confined to one geographical area. This family does not speak one language. This is family does have members from every nation, tribe and tongue. This family does have those who were unwanted by many. This family is filled with sinners saved by grace. This family does have a perfect Heavenly Father. This family is only possible due to the Father's only begotten Son being sacrificed for our sins. (John 3:16 and Romans 5:8)
If you are a part of this family, rejoice! If you know of some who is not part of this family, tell them how they too can be part of the family of God.
I'm so glad I'm a part
Of the family of God-
I've been washed in the fountain,
Cleansed by His blood!
Joint heirs with Jesus
As we travel this sod,
For I'm part of the family,
The family of God.
From the door of an orphanage
To the house of the King-
No longer an outcast,
A new song I sing;
From rags unto riches,
From the weak to the strong,
I'm not worthy to be here,
But, praise God, I belong!
I'm so glad I'm a part
Of the family of God-
I've been washed in the fountain,
Cleansed by His blood!
Joint heirs with Jesus
As we travel this sod,
For I'm part of the family,
The family of God.
Yes I'm part of the family,
The family of God.
Of the family of God-
I've been washed in the fountain,
Cleansed by His blood!
Joint heirs with Jesus
As we travel this sod,
For I'm part of the family,
The family of God.
Yes I'm part of the family,
The family of God.
