21 Days of Filiation: God, Family & ChurchSýnishorn

SPIRITUAL FAMILY

We have two families on earth ─ the biological and the spiritual. At this end of the 21-day journey of sonship, let's talk about the spiritual family. Being spiritual family is part of your new citizenship, that of Heaven. Being part of the Body of Christ is something full of meaning. It is to have a powerful life. The Church is the channel from Heaven to bring the good news of the Gospel; it is the environment of discipleship and sending to the destination desired by the Father.

Now, an important tip: in some respects, see the Church from the perspective of your biological family so your tolerance and love tend to increase. Unfortunately, we tend to be merciful toward our biological family and unforgiving toward our spiritual family. If you are not resolved in your spiritual parenting, your life will never really take off. I cannot neglect a principle and think that everything will be fine. Christ is the Head, and we are His Body. If I don't respect that, I will be outside God's purposes for my existence. Value the Church, be a good disciple and spiritual child. Contribute with your gifts and talents to improve your local church and bless society. Pray for your leaders. Give of your time and resources to the Church and reap a history marked by the Father's blessing and favor.

To seek His Kingdom first is to love His Bride sacrificially. Don't be an orphan within the house of God, but a fruitful and blessing son. If you need to improve your relationship with your church and leaders, start today. Ask the Bridegroom (Christ) for help, and everything will work out, at least as far as your part in the process is concerned. Living as a family is for every child of God.
