“And I will be a father to you, And you shall be sons and daughters to Me,” Says the Lord Almighty.” 2 Corinthians 6:18 (NASB)
As we read the New Testament portion of our Bible we find promises which come from words which God said to the people of Israel during the time of the Old Testament. Today's verse is one of these promises. God had used very similar words when speaking to His people before Jesus came into this world. In those days he was talking to the descendants of Abraham. In the context of our verse today this promise applies to all of us who believe in Jesus, regardless of our race or nationality and regardless of where we live on this earth. It is a wonderful truth and promise that we can turn to the great God of this universe and recognize Him as our Eternal Father and remembering that He looks at you as His son or His daughter. This is an encouragement for us as we apply the promise of this verse and believe it. Then we can live it too! We are sons and daughters of God Almighty. Doesn't that lift your spirit today?
