is nothing but a continuous blessed apprehension and reception of Him. (John 1:16; Col. 2:9,10; 3:3)
Joh 1:16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
Col 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
Col 2:10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
Col 3:3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
And this is the way to live as children of God: as many as receive Him, to them gives He the power to
become children of God. This holds true, not only of conversion and regeneration, but of every day of
my life. If to walk in all things as a child of God, and to exhibit the image of my Father, is
indispensable, I must take Jesus the only-begotten Son: it is He that makes me a child of God. To have
Jesus Himself, to have the heart and life full of Him, is the way to live as a child of God. I go to the
word and learn there all the characteristics of a child of God; (Matt 5:9,16,44,45; Rom. 8:14; Eph.
1:4,5; 5:1,2; Phil. 2:15; Heb. 2:10; 1 Pet. 1:14,17; 1 John 3:1,10; 5:1,3)
Mt 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Mt 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that

Mt 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to
rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Ro 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
Eph 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we
should be holy and without blame before him in love:
Eph 1:5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself,
according to the good pleasure of his will,
Eph 5:1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
Eph 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an
offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
Phil 2:15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst
of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world
Heb 2:10 For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing
many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
1Pe 1:14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your
