Some people believe their race is superior, hence privileged by birth and pedigree. Some people are proud of their privileged caste status. Belonging to the royal family or the ruling class also gives advantages. By manipulation or oppression, they can have all worldly blessings. However, no human could claim supremacy based on birth in the spiritual realm.
Children of Promise: Many children of Abraham claimed a higher status, which Paul rejected. Only the child of promise could be considered the offspring of Abraham for the fulfilment of the covenant. “Not all are children of Abraham because they are his offspring, but, “Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.” This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as offspring. (Roman 9:7-8) God’s principle operates on His Word, Promises, and Covenant, and not by human efforts and demands by mortals.
Children of God: God promises that all those who receive the Lord Jesus Christ, the son of Abraham, and son of David, will become children of God. (John 1:12) Irrespective of birth, status in the world, one does not qualify to become a child of God. It does not matter if a person is religious or irreligious; all are rejected who claim to be children of God. Even church membership does not guarantee this spiritual privilege.
Only Way: The Lord Jesus Christ declared, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” (John 14:6) Apart from Him, there is no way for salvation, eternal life in heaven, and redemption. Logically, not all paths lead to the same destination, and the same is true of the eternal spiritual path to God.
Only Name: The Bible teaches that there is only one name, the Lord Jesus Christ, given under heaven to all humanity on earth to be saved. (Acts 4:12) God of Heaven and Earth has granted only one name to receive salvation; there is neither another way nor another name.
Am I His child of living God by Promise and faith?
