Living in Increase (Part 5) - Increase in FaithНамуна

The Family of God

Christian Salvation is a spiritual adoption into God’s family. Throughout Scripture, believers are referenced as God’s children (Galatians 3:26; Romans 8:14; Galatians 4:7). When we are united with God through Salvation, we become a part of His family. We are forever identified as God’s sons and daughters!

The power of Salvation is evident in the family of God because there is strength in numbers. 1 Peter 5:9 tells us to “resist [the enemy], standing firm in the faith, because [we] know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.” When we are adopted into the family of believers, we know that we are not alone. God’s Salvation and redemptive power bring freedom to not only our lives but the lives of all believers! Together, we can encourage one another and remind each other of the power of Salvation!
