And, “I will be a Father to you, and you will be My sons and daughters, says the LORD Almighty. 2 Corinthians 6:18
Christianity is the only religion in the world in which the Creator reaches down in love to the created and invites them into His family.
The Corinthian church had many issues of immoral behavior. Paul warns of the dangers of compromising Christian standard with pagan morals. There is no common ground between the Temple of God and pagan worship, which is what brings Paul to continually stress that God seeks a real, living and thriving relationship with each one of us.
There is no other hope for love, acceptance and family, outside of God’s perfect love for you. He WANTS to be your parent and with Him, you are strongly encouraged to keep your childlike heart and faith.
Happy Wednesday,

P.S. Our reflex is often toward judgement or being scrutinized and condemned, but the reality is, God sent His Son in love so that you may also become a child to The King. Intimacy, strength, encouragement, wisdom, joy……these are the privileges and blessings from this kinship.
