*OBJECT OF FAITH*
*For ye are all children of God by faith in Christ Jesus* .
Gal 3:26(KJV).
The word of God told us to believe solemnly in the Christ and his finished works. What is the object of hope, belief and confidence? The object of faith for a sinner is Christ Jesus. Several people make this mistake of believing on God the father. Though belief on God is an after result of faith in Jesus Christ. We became believer in the eternal love of God the father as the result of trusting the precious blood of the son of God. We are sons through faith not through law keeping. The faith we have in Christ has produced grace for us. The believers living under grace has three benefits. Paul, includes both the Jewish and Gentile Christians in his statements that they are all sons of God. No more segregation that I am a Jew or gentiles because they have been engrafted into the common wealth of Israel. The first benefit of living under grace is believers become *sons of God* . The word sons here means fully *grown sons* . This is a much stronger term than children of God. When a child reached the age of adulthood, his father would give him a coat of manhood. Now his son could operate with all the privileges of adulthood. The son was no longer bound by the slave teacher [the law]. The word, all means every person who becomes a child of God becomes a full-grown son (Gal.4: 6). Every believers hold special privileges before God through faith. We receive the privilege of adult status with God by faith, not by works ( Eph 2:5,8). The scripture does not say everyone in the world is a son of God. Although, we are all creatures of God, that does not mean we are God’s children. No one is a child of God without placing an exclusive faith in Christ Jesus. Those who do not exercise faith in Christ are mere creatures of God, just like a bird or donkey. They do not have a personal relationship with God.
The New Testament believers has adult privileges with God.
In the New Testament salvation, Christians hold adult privileges. Our status with God rests on faith in Christ, not on our works. We do not gain God’s approbation by what we do. We have it by what Christ did. We have it by faith.
SHALL WE PRAY
Father in the name of Jesus, thank you for the finished works on the cross and for adopting me as your son with all privileges.
