You are so special to God, that He
came to earth in human form, died for you, and rose again, in order to
have intimate fellowship with you.
Why did He have to die? Because we
have all been tainted by sin, and sin separates us from God. God is absolutely
holy and just, so we couldn't be united with Him until the sin and independence
issue was dealt with. Death is the result of sin, so when Jesus took our
sin upon Himself, He had to die. In that way, He paid the price for you
so you can be one with Him. That's how special you are to God.
You are so special to God, that He
put everything in place for your blessing and benefit in every way. He
provided for your release from the guilt of sin, for your healing in body
and mind, for blessing upon your family, for your financial prosperity,
for social favor and dominion in life, and for a future with Him in heaven
forever. Which of these benefits would you not like to have and enjoy
to the fullest?
You see, Jesus is the KING of Kings
and LORD of Lords. He is rich and has dominion over all, and He has provided
richly for all His children. He holds nothing back that is for their good
and benefit. He is so good and so generous and loving, that He has blessed
the whole world, even those who refuse to know and follow Him. But there
are special blessings for those who choose to know and follow Jesus Christ,
His Son.
When you hear the message of what
Jesus Christ has done for you and accept that message for yourself, and
turn your life over to Him to allow Him to be your personal Lord and Savior,
then you become a child of the KING. You become a KING'S KID. You are
spiritually born into His spiritual kingdom. It is a work that God does
in your spirit. It is performed in your life when you simply choose to
accept the message of Jesus Christ and turn from your independence and
sin, and turn your life over to Him in faith. This is called the new birth.
Keep in mind that you are not choosing
to follow a religion of Christianity or some code of ethics. You are choosing
to give yourself to a living man who loves you enough to die for you. He
rose from death to impart eternal life to you, and to have personal fellowship
with you every day and for all eternity!
When you choose to follow Jesus, you
are choosing to walk with the KING of Kings and LORD of Lords, as a child
of the KING. When you are born into the kingdom of God, you are somebody
special! You are somebody for which the KING has special treats.
Jesus has committed Himself to you
to be married to you spiritually and to provide for you completely. He
held nothing back. When you commit yourself to Him completely, by faith,
to love Him and follow Him alone, then that marriage is consummated. You
are spiritually changed inside. You are made a new creation in Christ.
It is nothing of your works. He does it. You simply believe His Word,
turn from the independence and sin that separates you from Him, and commit
yourself to Him.
From that day forward, He is your
life. You are translated out of the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom
of eternal light. You are the delight of His soul, and He is the delight
of your soul. Just like you can spend hours on the phone with that best
friend or mate to be, now you can spend hours every day in communion with
Jesus, the lover of your soul. Now, you have everything in common with
Him.
The more you get to know Him and realize
what all He has done for you, the more you want to know Him, and, He feels
the same way about you. He wants to get to know you more and more each
day and bless you more every day.
You are His child. He paid for you
with His own blood, so you can be blessed in every way with the finest
that life has to offer. He values you more than anything else in this world!
That's how special you are to Him.
Realize who you are! If you have committed
your life to Jesus, you are the KING'S KID. Expect good things from
your heavenly Father. You are not a beggar. You have an inheritance. Find
out in the Word what your inheritance is and go to DADDY, and remind Him
of what is yours and ask Him for that which you need and desire. Be patient
as He changes you and as circumstances change.
Carry yourself like the KING'S KID.
Refuse to stoop to that thinking that says you are not worthy. He made
you worthy by His own blood that washed all your sins away and made you
righteous in the sight of God. Refuse to stoop to those concepts that say
you are inferior in any way. By His own hand, you are His workmanship created
in Christ Jesus unto His eternal praise and glory. You are somebody special
in the eyes and heart of God.
Enjoy the presence of the KING, every
day. Enjoy the freedom of being the KING'S KID, every day. By simple faith
in committing your life to Jesus Christ, you are the KING'S KID, and by
that same faith you can walk with the KING each day, in all His blessings
for you.
He committed His all for you, even
unto death, for your total good and blessing. Is there any good reason
why you would not want to commit your all to Him in order to receive all
His love and goodness?
He is not religion. He is the Father
who loves you with an everlasting love. He is the Father you can trust
unreservedly. You are special to Him.
The Bible says, "If you confess
with our mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised
Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes to
righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made to salvation. For
the Scripture says, 'Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.'
For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over
all is rich to all who call upon Him. For whoever calls upon the name
of the Lord shall be saved" (Romans 10.9-13).
By a simple prayer, you can
commit your life to Jesus Christ to follow Him and Him alone forever. By
a simple prayer, you can become the KING'S KID with no shame and no inferiority
whatsoever. By faith in Jesus Christ, you become God's special person.
By simple prayer, by simply talking
to Father God as you would your best friend, you can walk with the KING
of Kings and LORD of Lords on a daily basis, basking in His love for you
as you believe and walk in the ways of His Word.
He loves you so much and has so many
good things for you. By simple faith, receive His love and goodness, and
walk each day as the KING'S KID!
