Predestined to Sonship

Ephesians 1:5, “Predestinating us unto sonship through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will

📖 Devotional Message

The Reflection: 

God did not save you merely to keep you out of judgment; He saved you for “sonship.” Sonship means you have His life, His DNA, and the right to inherit everything that belongs to the Father. This was His plan all along, designed “according to the good pleasure of His will.” It brings joy to God’s heart to call you His child. You don’t have to live with the mindset of a servant who is constantly worried about being fired or failing. You can live with the absolute security of a son who belongs at the Father’s table.

Practical Application: 

When you pray today, drop any formal or distant language. Speak to God as your loving Father, knowing that listening to you brings Him “good pleasure.”
