John 1:12. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.
Mankind was created as a spiritual being to live in fellowship with God. Our true purpose, joy, and peace are found only in Him. This is why meeting God is the solution to every problem in life.
The Creator God became man to be with those He created. The moment anyone receives and believes Jesus as the Christ, God gives them the right to become His child (John 1:12). Their identity changes instantly—from being a child of the devil to a child of God (John 3:2). This transformation does not come by human effort, desire, or decision, but by being born of God Himself (John 1:13).
God’s choice and plan for His children existed even before creation. Before anyone had done right or wrong, He chose us in Christ (Ephesians 1:4). Even before Adam and Eve fell into sin and came under the curse of Satan, death, and hell, God already knew you and called your name while you were still in your mother’s womb (Isaiah 49:1). That is why you never need to fear or worry—your position in Christ is eternally secure.
Through the cross, all of your past, present, and future problems have already been settled (Ephesians 2:1-6). You no longer live under the law or the desires of the flesh (Galatians 5:16-18). The good work God began in you will continue until the day Christ returns (Philippians 1:6). Thus, nothing is more urgent or necessary in life than meeting the living God.
If you believe in Jesus as the Christ, the Holy Spirit dwells in you (1 Corinthians 3:16). You have become His temple, a dwelling place set apart for Him. Nothing can destroy you, for you have been set free from the law of sin and death by the law of the Spirit of life (Romans 8:2). God has given you a spirit not of fear, but of power, love, and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7). You are no longer bound to live by your feelings but by the eternal promises of God’s Word.
Abandon your own thoughts and ways. Let go of selfish motives and throw off legalism. The eternal light of God has been restored in you (Genesis 1:3; John 1:9). Chaos, emptiness, and darkness no longer define your life (Genesis 1:2). You now live with the assurance that Christ lives in you (Galatians 2:20). By faith, trust in Him daily as your Master—the One who loved you more than anyone and gave Himself for your salvation.
One of the greatest privileges you have in Christ is the guidance of the Holy Spirit (John 14:16-17). God has poured His love into your heart through the Spirit (Romans 5:5). The Spirit of God knows you fully and leads you on paths you have never walked before. He reminds you of the Word of God, rooting it deeply in your heart so that you may know His will, which is good, pleasing, and perfect (Romans 12:2).
When you feel weak and do not know how to pray, the Holy Spirit Himself intercedes for you with groans too deep for words. The Father who knows your heart understands the Spirit’s prayer, for He always prays in line with God’s perfect will (Romans 8:26-27). That is why you can walk through the darkest valleys with peace, knowing that the Lord is with you to renew your strength and guide your steps (Psalm 23:3). He will lead you through waters and fire, and nothing will overcome you (Isaiah 43:2).
The Spirit of God empowers you with unstoppable strength. Like wind and fire, His presence fills you with courage, removes your weakness, and equips you with wisdom the world cannot comprehend (Acts 2:1-13; Acts 4:13). When you ask God for wisdom, He gives it generously without finding fault (James 1:6).
God made you a child of light (John 12:36). Walk as a child of light (Ephesians 5:8). He made you the light of the world (Matthew 5:14), so that through your life, others may see the light of the gospel. As you continue to experience His presence and power, you will stand as a spiritual summit, bringing life and salvation to those around you.
Prayer. Father, I thank You for being with me, guiding me, and empowering me through Your Spirit. May Your presence be real in my life every day, so that those around me may see the light of the gospel through me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
