For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. Ephesians 3:14-15 (NIV)
The Greek word for family is patria and is derived from the Greek word for father – pater.
Our heavenly Father is the true source and head of the true human family.
Ethnicity, skin color, gender, nationality, culture, religion, occupation, experiences, mental/emotional disposition, or possessions are not what truly and accurately define us at the core.
We are born of God, we are from God, we are of God, we belong to God therefore He alone truly and accurately defines us.
We are sons of God we bear His DNA in our spirits. We have His nature inside us.
It’s not how we look on the outside or under the skin. There’s no black, white, yellow, or brown, male or female, slave or free, civilized or uncivilized blood but….Father God made from one [common origin, one source, one blood] all nations of men.. Acts 17:26 (AMPC)
God is our Father and we are His children – loved, known, and highly esteemed. We are members of this Divine family in heaven and on earth.
Let’s live and treat each other as members of this God family. Let’s live and treat one another loved, known, and highly esteemed.
