A True Son
1 Timothy 1:2 To Timothy, a true son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
I was praying this morning for strength, direction, and comfort from God in His Word this morning. I had a very long, very rough Monday, and as I prayed I opened up my Bible and just asked God to give me an encouraging word on that page. The verse above in 1 Timothy stood out to me and gave me great encouragement. A true son – as I looked deeper into ‘true’ the legitimate definition stood out. I studied farther into ‘true son’ and found 1 John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. There is the Gospel or the Good News.
You and I are legitimate sons and heirs through Christ for eternal life with God. It just doesn’t get any better than that. You will inherit a kingdom, and Christ has prepared a mansion for you to live with Him. John 14:2 In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. Through the legitimate Son of God, His Spirit will live inside you and open up His Word to you. Luke 24:45 And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures. How can you understand the Bible if you don’t have the Spirit living inside you to reveal it’s truth’s to you? The Bible will come alive to you like never before once you accept the Son as your Savior. You will become a legitimate child through God’s Grace and Christ’s blood that paved your eternal road in gold to eternity in His presence. Humble your heart, repent of your sin, open the door, and let Him in. You are now a true son.
Thank you Jesus!
