Good morning,
What happens when a person believes in the Lord Jesus Christ? Instantly, their lives are changed.
How they are changed will be our focus for the next several weeks.
We will look at what happens when a sinner gets saved, in relation to God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, and between each other.
In relation to God the Father…
1) The saved sinner has access to God’s grace – For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Eph 2v18
2) We are adopted into the family of God as God’s sons – Gal 4v5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. Eph 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
3) We have an inheritance. Paul preaching says that the Gentiles ‘…may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.’ Acts 26v18
None of us deserved salvation. None of us were able to keep the law of God. By an act of our own free will we rejected God.
But God. He saw our condition and provided a way of escape. He drew us to Himself and we trusted Christ as Savior and Lord. GOD’S GRACE! When we get saved we have access to the grace of God.
God then adopts us into His family. We become His children with all the rights and privileges of a natural born child.
One of the rights of a family member is an inheritance. What we will inherit will be explained in future devotions.
Meditate on what God has done for you.
