GPP 16: Children Of God

As if eternal life were not enough,
You also are adopted as God’s child,
For Jesus does His believers engulf,
And God sees not you but His Son so mild!
How splendid are the gifts on them bestowed!
Their faith in Jesus the one needed key,
They receive more—Paradise their abode;
Bodies undying, and no sadness see!
Christ among them; saints all around;
No war, and no crime; no worry or fear,
Only kindness and love throughout abound;
God Himself wipes away ev’ry tear!
Born of flesh, and Holy Spirit divine,
Riches of glory can be yours and mine!

Promise Made: Galatians 3:26 (Pau; writes)—“You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.”

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)

“That if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord’, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)
