Romans 8:16 His Holy Spirit speaks to us deep in our hearts and tells us that we are God's children.

Are you excited about your relationship with God?  Then tell your heart, because out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks!

As Christians, we belong to God and his family. Who could enjoy a bigger sense of belonging than God's kids? The apostle John wrote in 1 John 3:1 , "See how very much our heavenly Father loves us, for he allows us to be called his children!”

Something to notice: As soon as John wrote the words "children of God," he must have been excited, because he tops off the thought with an exclamation point. If John were here today, he might say it this way: "WOW We really are God's children!"

You may be thinking, "But we're only adopted. It's not like we're real children in God's family." Do you think just because we are adopted that makes us sec­ond-class kids?  Oh no my friend, because we are adopted in the Family of God, we are now heirs of God and joint heirs with Jesus Christ.

Our adoption into God’s Family is a truth worth getting excited about.  Share that excitement with someone today!
