Excuse me: is there another God, whom "they"- the bad ones, but not us! came from? Thank you for your answer.God loves you and them too, and I love you too ❤️
"God make converts". This is true brothers & sisters because I am the witness of this. I have never go to church even now, only research on God of the Bible. In the past I did practice praying to him when in despair, follow 10 Commandments yet I did not commit to follow him, it lasts several years. A month ago, when I felt no hope but cannot pray, there's an urge that called me to commit, I did trying to resist but then I cannot continue to resist and make the commitment from my heart. After that I felt warm and light, it is the Holy Spirit what dwelled in me, it's Jesus the Lord baptized me with Holy Spirit. And today, Holy Spirit guides my decisions in life. The path to follow Jesus start with suffering but it's the path full of joys. I pray that you can receive the Holy Spirit too to know His grace and glory and the joy to be in Him. Cheer!
Father God your word is truth and your promises absolute. Strengthen our faith to believe and trust in you in every aspect of our lives and to trust in your perfect plan for us. 🙏
born of the flesh and born of the spirit, people seeking with all they have , scouring instruction, are on the path to adoption full faith obedience , die to self, humble with no desire other than to be as christ
"But Lord didn't we cast out devils in your name... and in your name did we not do great things" ..... and He let the wheat and tares grow together until THE reaper presents them all at the Judgement seat of Christ.... for NOT all who say Lord Lord will enter into the Kingdom of God ...
Verse 6. - I have said, Ye are gods; i.e. "in my Law I have called you gods" - I have given you this lofty name (see Exodus 21:6; Exodus 22:8, 9), since ye judge on my behalf, "as my representatives" (Deuteronomy 1:17; 2 Chronicles 19:6; Romans 13:1, 2). And all of you are children of the Most High. Psalm 82:6 I have said, 'You are gods; you are all sons of
He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; The field is the world; *the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;* The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. Matthew 13
Even some so called Christian claims that everyone is the Children of God before knowing and understanding their Bible. May the Lord open their eyes. Amen! Pastor.
We are all God's creation but not all are His children.The bible is very clear . We are born into sin and are therefore sons of Adam due to the fall. Ye must be born again, made alive or quickened through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. His sheep hear His voice and follow His word
God the Father chooses, God the Son redeems and God the Holy Spirit renews, for it is not the one who willeth, but of God who saves His chosen children... “The gospel has lost none of its ancient power. It is, as much today as when it was first preached, ‘the power of God unto salvation.’ It needs no pity, no help, and no handmaid. It can overcome all obstacles, and break down all barriers. No human device need be tried to prepare the sinner to receive it, for if God has sent it, no power can hinder it; and if He has not sent it, no power can make it effectual.” ~Dr. E. W. Bullinger (1837-1913)
The children of God don't do any of those works he mentioned at the end. (Eph. 2:8-9) "The work of God is to believe in the one God has sent." John 6:29
Have you not read the following verse (10) in Ephesians 2? We love because He first loved us. We abide in Jesus and so bear fruit. It's not how we get saved, but it's the fruit we bear because God has saved us. This is what 1 John 3 says: "Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him there is no sin. No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous. Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God. By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother."
It comes down to a choice. The opportunity is always there. He did create us to serve him but not all will therefore not are all his children Choose this day while you will serve
@@freespirit7450 Yes, He created everybody but "NOT ALL" or "NOT EVERYBODY" will let God's Spirit lead them :< and that's really heartbreaking and sooo so sad :(((( because that also means "NOT ALL" people will truly love God and obey Him. :< In ROMANS 8:14 (NCV), the Apostle Paul stated (through the Holy Spirit's power and leading to write) that "THE TRUE CHILDREN OF GOD ARE THOSE WHO LET GOD'S SPIRIT LEAD THEM." Therefore, ALL who become God's children through FAITH IN CHRIST are led by God's Spirit, and all who are "LED BY GOD'S SPIRIT" are HIS CHILDREN. In contrast, if we chose not to let the Spirit of God lead us (by disobeying Him and by choosing our own ways instead of His ways), that also means "we are not His children and do not belong in His family." Because a child of a family is ought to obey his or her father and God is also like that to us. If He is really your Father, HE IS THE "ONE" YOU WILL DEFINITELY LOVE AND OBEY WITH ALL OF YOUR LIFE! But let me clarify one thing, this does not mean that we are saved by our works or by our ability to stop sinning. Rather, this means that as "CHRISTIANS and TRUE CHILD OF GOD" who are saved and being born again by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus, we are ought to "LIVE ACCORDING TO GOD'S WILL" and thank God because He has also given us the Holy Spirit to lead us, to guide us, to be with us and to enable us to really "walk in His ways" that lead to everlasting life. So at this moment, whoever will be going to read this, assess and check yourself with these two questions. 1. "Are you really led by the Spirit of God?" 2. "Are you really a God's child (son or daughter)?" Then, start to carefully see the answers to these questions and reflect if you are really living your life as "A CHILD OF GOD OUGHT TO LIVE." Check yourself now. Last step, "SEEK GOD" and ask the help of the Holy Spirit to lead you and point you in the way you should go as His "TRUE CHILD", as His true son or daughter. P.S. Today if you hear His VOICE, do not harden your hearts. REPENT while you still can and be right with God. Have a true and deep relationship with Him and know Him intimately. P.PS. Again, be right with the LORD MOST HIGH!!! Hear Him.
Acts 17:28 ► Verse (Click for Chapter) New International Version For in him we live and move and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring.'
@@robreich6881 yes it does . “Sin” is a man made concept that we believed god was angry with us . Only Jesus truly knew the Father though and the Father has always been like Jesus . If you have seen Jesus you have seen the Father .
Genesis 3 talks about the seed of the woman the seed of the serpent gospel talks about separating the wheat from the tariff talk about separating the goats from the Sheep we are not All God's Children amen shalom
A bit confusing, honestly. Sure, I understand salvation only comes through Jesus Christ, and so on. However, it seems clear that God is the author and creator of all mankind. In that sense, wouldn’t we all be God’s children? That’s not to say we are universally saved, by any means. But, my parents biologically created me. I could hate them. Not respect their authority. I’d still be their child. It seems I’m inherently a child of God. To say otherwise would be to deny God as being my creator.
You have to repent and BELIEVE that Jesus is the Christ who saves from ourselves (sin) in our SPIRIT. Then holy spirit will come in you and you will open your spiritual eyes to see Jesus Christ. Otherwise you are NOT children of God.
@@yourhealingmatters wow.......amazing ......so you are saying that God become your father only when you repent......so what when you suddenly decide not to believe Jesus one day...that God stop being your father..........so you seriously think god's fatherhood of us is switch on off kind of thing........so dumb
A creator and a Father are two different things. God also created Lucifer, as well as Judas. Neither are His children. The Bible states that even before Jacob and Esau were in the womb, Esau was hated by God, while Jacob was loved. God, the father, does not hate His own children, that is why His love is unconditional, but only to His own. In contrast, He CAN hate what He created, because like His children, His creation has free- will, but unlike His children, they don’t have that merciful, unconditional love offered by the Father!
Malachi 2:10 ► Verse (Click for Chapter) New International Version Do we not all have one Father? Did not one God create us? Why do we profane the covenant of our ancestors by being unfaithful to one another?
Sometimes God is referred to as the Father of humanity in the sense of being the Creator of humanity. John’s use of the concept of being “born of God” refers to entering into the relationship Christ and the Father have had before “the world existed.” It’s not referring to the same thing.
@@robreich6881 we are all gods children . Any reference to otherwise is the state of what one is in that doesn’t believe that . The devil is the one the separates . When Jesus says that “your Father is the devils “ . It is like me saying to my children “No children of mine will be like that “ .
It was the choices made which proved to be the hinge upon one’s accordance was discerned. One who hunts down and kills / torments their brothers institutionally, albeit by an institution for God, is unsurprisingly condemned rightfully. Jesus nonetheless is undeniably eluding to the fact that those being spoken to COULD and even SHOULD BE sons of God, but only when they act, think, and speak according to the Father’s truthful and loving natural righteousness. Service to the Lord is not an affirmation or membership perk; service to the Lord is a singular dedication that is frankly beyond the hope for all here who rationalize their affairs with government worship
I believe we are all originally God's children, but some choose to go to the Devil's side, thus becoming of the Devil and doing his works. If someone turns their back on God, there's only one other side left. There are no gray areas, and lack of action is also considered a choice. Like Jesus said, the one who is not for me is against me, or something like that. We can't choose our family on earth, but we can definitely choose our spiritual family.
Everything is a creation of God. In that sense all are God's offspring. But Satan is (for the time being) permitted to rule in this world. He is described in the Bible as the "god of this world". He has no true power as God does, he is a created being, but until someone believes the Gospel of salvation and is born again, they are under the dominion of the devil.
@@risingdawn5788 please.........so you are saying we are by nature sons of devil.......then why do you wanna call someone other your father...........please.......satan cant create human souls.......there is only one can do that........he is the Father.......and every humans are Gods son s
The ones you are talking about are idols that you humans created for themselves. A "God" supposed to be one and outside of His own Creation. There's only ONE GOD, the Creator of Heaven and Earth.
Wow.............so you guys teach that Jesus died for everyone at the same time you teach......only christains are sons of God..........do you even hear yourself ......Let our Father help you to open your eyes......
Fatherhood is never a thing to be achieved..........it should be given freely............so if you say we have to believe to become sons of God that contradicts the very nature of Fatherhood
John, I really wish I could just forget what you did to the prolife community. I can’t. Why? Because you were just, well, mean. Imagine working for almost 50 years to save children from the abortionist’s blade and right when we’re on the very cusp of success have a pastor announce that he thinks we’re “presumptuous”. Presumptuous because we care more about human life than the pride you saw in one man. (And all you have to do is apologize. That you cannot shows YOU to be the one with a pride problem. Just ask forgiveness!)
Well technically none of us are god's children because Jesus Christ was god's only begotten son. Just saying. The nature of Jesus was that of a humble carpenter, not a wealthy, luxury lover. Imagine that the son of God a humble carpenter. Bare that in mind.
I don't see him say anything like that in the Bible though. He calls himself God's Son in the Bible and matter of facts that's one the reasons some people in his days wanted to kill him. (read John 5:18, you will see)
every time i see john piper's name it's invariably attached to the most blasphemous statement you've heard in years. calvinist style predestination and sola fide are stains on christianity that should ideally be mocked then erased.
We are not all God's children? You are a blasphemous soul, if you believe that nonsense! "We are all the literal off spring of our Heavenly Father-Acts 17:28-29". For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device. "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience." "O Lord, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord." - Psalm 139:1-4 "God knows us from within ourselves, not as objects, not as strangers, not as intimates, but as our own selves." - Thomas Merton 38 And as one earth shall pass away, and the heavens thereof even so shall another come; and there is no end to my works, neither to my words. 39 For behold, this is my work and my glory-to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.
Not all are the children of God. Read 1 John 3:10 and John 8:37-47. Don't be quick to oppose or label people as blasphemous souls. You may be one yourself If you don't read or check the Word of God first.
A son is obedient to their father. Sin is not something to look lightly of, we turned from our holy creator. Creatures who turned upon their creator, and yet have the audacity to expect the right in to heaven one day, being bonded with God again (the “good place” even though they reject their only purpose to being alive. They don’t even believe in the place, they just want to go to a “good place” while despising what’s good on earth) The consequence of sin is death.
We were all created by God yes but we come to a place where we must choose whom we will serve. We are not just granted salvation without claiming and living out the walk We need to claim the gospel Of Jesus Christ and walk out our salvation then and only then will we be His. we are created by him to serve him but we have to make the choice to be his. Being gods children means you have made the choice to acknowledge and serve him to fully repent and turn from your sins
We could never earn it Jesus died for our sins on the cross, he was buried and he rose from the dead on the third day he paid the price for our sins so we can be saved and have eternal life. Jesus paid the price for our sins on the cross what God wants us to do is repent and please our faith and trust in Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 NKJV 8. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9. nor of works, lest anyone should boast. Jesus said in John 6:47 NKJV 47. Most assuredly I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life.
Calvinism armenianism whatever doesnt matter in this, he believes in calvinism. Great. You believe in more free will? Great. The point is that WE ARE NOT ALL CHILDREN OF GOD. If we were that would mean God is a Schizophrenic making Islam true this true that true and something else true. There is one way, one truth, and one life. Truth is absolute.
But Jesus spoke ill of his fellow Jews whilst he was living and he criticised all the tenets of Judaism and even the high holy days - and claimed to be (sinfully and blasphemously) he was a 😒son of .... born of a ...... how biologically impossible and ludicrously anti nature argument and his followers when churchified by Constantine massacred yes Peacefully massacred many non Xtians because their gawd told them to - classic example is Alexandrian and Greek early Xtians who did not spare one ancient library or temple of the various deities and we think Isis in this modern age were destroyers of high culture and the cultured (which they evidently are) he spouts such vile thoughts and claims to be Xtian - how can he claim to be a child of his gawd. What if he post his demise finds there is no heaven or hell but endless light or darkness and no way to discern it as soul has no memory or sensory organs and no mobile communication device to send a message back to Houston . 😊
LoveFood Gourmet Jesus died for your sins. You cannot enter heaven without believing in Him. Jesus is the Son of God. Follow the Holy Bible . Read John chapter 3
no we are NOT.... that would mean Gods' children go to hell! i dont think so!!! we become His children when we are born again , the Holy Spirit of adoption by whom we cry Abba Father! if you are not born again you are of the devil (a slave to sin and therefore he is your father)
@@markwhite5926so you think all born again christains goes to heaven......nah .....I don't think so........we are all created by God so we are all sons of God .......if not it means that we have other father who created us..........which means there are other Gods who are capable of creation .....which make your belief senseless
