For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:26
“Oh that I had the courage of Great-heart, that I could wield his sword and be as valiant as he! But, alas, I stumble at every straw, and a shadow makes me afraid.” – Spurgeon
Boy, that is me…afraid of getting it wrong, doing it wrong. There is that line in a song, “What if I stumble—what if I fall—what if I makes fools of us all.” I never want to be the excuse for someone not coming to faith or causing a believer to stumble. But, I need to remember, I am a child of the Most High God! Jesus said, “But many who are first will be last; and the last, first. Matthew 19:30
All the names are in the same family register. One may have more grace than another, but God our heavenly Father has the same tender heart towards all. One may do more mighty works, and may bring more glory to his Father, but he whose name is the least in the kingdom of heaven is as much the child of God as he who stands among the King’s mighty men. Let this cheer and comfort us, when we draw near to God and say, “Our Father.”
If then you would live to Christ’s glory, and be happy in his service, seek to be filled with the spirit of adoption more and more completely, till perfect love shall cast out fear. – Spurgeon
