Romans 8:17: “We are God’s children, and if children, also heirs—heirs of God and coheirs with Christ—if indeed we suffer with Him, so that we may also be glorified with Him.” This means that everything that belongs to Jesus is available to us—His grace, love, and power.

I Am a Friend of Jesus - More Than Religion, a Relationship

In John 15:15, Jesus says “I do not call you servants anymore, because a servant doesn’t know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything I have heard from my Father.” This truth reveals the heart of our relationship with Christ—it’s not just about a religion; it’s a relationship with a friend. You have a personal connection with the King of Kings.

When you accept Jesus into your heart, when you believe in His name and His finished work on the cross, you are granted an extraordinary privilege: you become a child of God. Imagine that! You are no longer defined by your past mistakes, your failures, or your regrets. Instead, you are identified as a beloved son or daughter of the King of Kings.
