It is one thing to be loved and another thing to accept and enjoy that love. God loves everyone completely and unconditionally but only those who accept this love, enjoy the benefits of His love.
Several years ago I went to help a new member of our church family move. He had this beautiful sound system that must have cost him a lot. When it was time to move the sound system he told me not to touch it because he wasn’t sure I would know how to handle it. So I sat down and watched him do it. That is when this truth became even more obvious to me.
What the man did not know is that although I was a pastor, I had a masters of Engineering and I had spent 6 months learning how to repair and maintain such systems. And that I have been taking care of such systems for many years since my training. So the man got my love and expertise but he did not enjoy the full benefit of it because he did not know or believe.
When you believed and you received Jesus as savior, you were accepted as a child of God and you can now enjoy all the benefits of being a child of God!
“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:” John 1:12 NKJV
Everyday this season I am sharing about the benefits of being disciples of Jesus! This is why we want everyone on earth to enjoy the same benefits. I ask each benefit as a question. So that you can say! Yes!
Yes I am enjoying the love of God as my Father! What about you? Please share in the comments section below.
