Daughter
“For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.” 1 Peter 1:23
Here is a promise! By believing in Jesus Christ, YOU have been born as a child of God.
This birth is made possible through the Word of God, which is not only perfect and flawless but is enduring; it remains in existence and is living, not dead.
Here is how the Gospel of John explains the Word of God as Jesus Christ: “The Word was with God… the Word was God… the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us… to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. They are reborn—not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God.” John 1:1, 14 and John 1:12-13 NLT
As a daughter of the eternal and living God, you live and breathe as one who has a true living existence. It’s not like our physical birth and life, from perishable seed, that one day will come to an end. It is a birth and a life that comes from the imperishable seed of God. It is a living life not a dead end life. 1 Peter 1:18-19
As a daughter of your heavenly Father, who is Lord over all the earth, the creator of heaven and earth, you are a legitimate heiress of God’s glory. 1 Peter 1:3-4 You share this inheritance with Jesus Christ. As Romans 8:17 says: “And since we are his children, we are his heirs. In fact, together with Christ we are heirs of God’s glory.”
As a daughter of your heavenly Father, Abba, your life is protected by His mighty power. 1 Peter 1:5 Jesus says you cannot be snatched out of His or God’s hand. John 10:28-29 Your security is absolute. Like any child, there are limits to your powers but be reassured of your heavenly Father’s complete power.
So, daughter of the almighty God - your Abba - what does life look like? As a daughter, you belong to Him. Live life with peace. As a daughter, you are rich. An inheritance awaits you. Live life with hope. As a child, you can be dependent on your Abba. You don’t have to have everything figured out. Live life like a child. Stay close to Him. Run to Him when you find yourself far away. Cry out to Him when you feel helpless or in fear. As a daughter, you are guarded by His power. Live life with confidence.
