is GOD everybody’s father? yes and no…

here is a good question that you might have.  is GOD everybody’s father?  is everybody a child of GOD?  the answer is yes and no.   yes, everyone was created by GOD but not everybody is connected to GOD.  there’s a lot more to being a father than just creating a kid.  there are millions of kids in this world who have never known their father.  millions!  it takes more than birthing to be a dad.  it takes more than creating.  it takes connection. 

yes, everyone in the world is created by GOD but no, everyone in the world is not connected to their FATHER, to their heavenly FATHER who made them.  GOD wants them to be connected in HIS family. 

how do i get connected to GOD as father?  that’s why GOD sent HIS SON JESUS CHRIST to earth, to make the connection.  JESUS said, I am the way and the truth and the life.  no one comes to the FATHER except through ME. if you really knew ME you would know my FATHER as well.

there’s only one way to get to know the FATHER – through JESUS CHRIST who GOD sent to earth to make the connection.  that’s why HE sent HIM to earth, so we could get to know HIM.  you wouldn’t even know GOD was your father if JESUS CHRIST hadn’t come to earth.  you wouldn’t even know it.  HE sent JESUS to earth to make the connection.

we are children of GOD through faith in JESUS CHRIST.  it is through faith.  how do you become a child of GOD?  there is only one way.  through faith in HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST.  there’s not a single verse in the bible that says you get connected to the FATHER GOD through religion.  HE doesn’t want a religion.  HE wants a relationship.  HE wants you to know HIM as FATHER and you know the FATHER through the SON.  through faith in JESUS CHRIST. 

just a thought from the front porch…
