Children of God

 

  John 1:1-18.
  Children of God.

'Received' ... 'believed' (John 1:11-12).
Power = the right of authority.
Sons here = children, not full-grown sons.
(1 John 3:1-2, also children).

  Romans 8:1-17.
  If children, then heirs.

 Sons instead of slaves (Romans 8:15).
No slave was permitted to use the word Abba.
Every child of God is an heir (Romans 8:17).
Suffering for Christ is rewarded by 'joint-heirship.'

Questions based on Readings

  John 1:1-18.

(1) What does Christ call those who received Him
      and believe on His Name (John 1:12)?
(2) How did Christ make Himself like 'the children'              (John 1:14), and Who did He make known                      (declare)  (John 1:18)?

  Romans 8:1-17.

(1) What does God say about those who are
      lead by the Spirit (Romans 8:14)?
(2) What is an heir, and Who do we share
      this with (Romans 8:17)?

Write out from memory John 1:12.

 

Today the principles of right division have been almost lost so we offer teachings from the Word of God that will illuminate how to rightly divide the Scriptures.  2 Timothy 2:15 states "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth".
