HOW LOVELY TO BE A CHILD OF GOD

Translated from Afrikaans: “Hoe heerlik om kind van GOD te wees”

Acts 1 verse 8
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Someone sent this verse to me and again I thought about how exquisite it is to be a child of God.
It is so exquisite, you want to talk about Him, you want to witness about Him. It is so exquisite you actually want to be His slave. You want to serve Him out of love for Him.
1 Corinthians 7:22-23
22 For the one who was a slave when called to faith in the Lord is the Lord’s freed person; similarly, the one who was free when called is Christ’s slave.
23 You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of human beings.
Jesus expects of us to be His witness.
Matthew 10:32-33
32 “Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven.
33 But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven.
Greetings,
