Good morning Knights! Today we are going to look at who we really are in God’s eyes. We will never have the heart to join in the fight if we don’t know our role in the battle. The Word of God makes it very clear who we are. Let’s start at the beginning.
In Genesis we are seen as the creation of the Creator, later we are seen as fallen creation through the combined sin of Adam and Eve. Without a way to cleanse that blot that we all carry in us we would simply stay in that state, always separated from a relation with our Creator. But our Creator had other plans. Jesus, the Word of God made flesh, the One in whom all things were created, shed His Godhood willingly and became flesh to rescue us from the mess we caused by straying away from our Creator. Jesus called us servants of the Most High but He doesn’t just leave us there. He also called us friends. That wasn’t even good enough though because God wanted even better for us, He called us sons and daughters of the Most High. We are children of the Most High and joint heirs. You would think that that would be enough but He even goes one step further and calls us His chosen bride to reign and rule with Him forever.
We must always remember who we once were. Sinners separated from God by our refusal to follow Him but He has provided a way to change all of that. Jesus paid the ultimate price by giving His perfect life to wipe away our sins forever and to allow us to have the relationship described above with the Most High, our King of kings and Lord of lords.
If you have not already allowed the blood of Jesus to wipe away your sins and make you a new creation pleasing to God but you know that your life will never be complete or satisfied without that connection to your Creator, God, Master, Friend and Father than there is only one way to do that. It is only by the grace of God and nothing you can do, all you have to do is repent from your old ways and accept God’s forgiveness and free gift of life. If you would like to make that decision today just say this prayer right now out loud between you and God.
Lord I know that I need you. I have always felt there was something missing and now I know it has always been you that I needed. I believe that Jesus died for my sins so I could have a relationship with you. I turn away from my old ways and turn to follow you. Make me a new creation that is pleasing to you. Thank you Father.
If you prayed that prayer let me be the first to welcome you to the family of God! I want you to know that all of the angels of heaven are rejoicing and having a huge party right now in your honor for making the decision you just made. The Knights_Of_God would love to support you in anyway possible. If you need a bible or help choosing a fellowship of brothers and sisters to worship with, learn from and partner with, please drop us a line on the wall and let us know the decision you made today. We will be praying for you to grow in the grace of God our Father.
Now you know who we are in God’s eyes. Yes you were a sinner but not now. Don’t allow the enemy to tell you that you are anything less than the son or daughter of the King! Tomorrow we will look at who our enemy is and what the Bible has to say about him. God bless you all and Knights, stand firm and fight for our great King!
