*A people belonging to God*
If I ask you where you come from or who your family is. I can easily tell that you are either a spiritual person or not. A spiritual person knows that he/she is a spirit. They have a soul and live in a body. Their spiritual senses are sharp. A spiritual person understands that the heavenly Father is their true Father through whom they were born again.
Their attachment to the physical shell (your body) is not that serious. You think like a spirit and live like a spirit. A physically -minded person however is attached to this world. They think in terms of totems, natural places of origin and customs taken from geographic locations where they were born in the flesh. A physically minded person is afraid of what people of this world do and think of.
This is not so for a chosen race. Our mentality is different. Read here:
1 Peter 2:9 (NASB)” But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.”
Spiritual people seek only to do the will of the Father. You don’t do it by accident. You seek for it and when you find it you are pleased to do the will of the Father.God is not just Jesus’ Father. He is our Father. We exist for Him, through Him and by Him. He is our life. Check with Matthew 12:50 (NIV) “For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”
You cannot be accidentally led by God. You seek God’s opinion in everything you do and when you find it you value it so greatly. You are persistently guided by His desires. You are God’s own children. You have a very personal relationship with the Father. You call God, Dad(Abba). You are not afraid of Him, you think fondly of Him.
Read here: Romans 8:14-15 (NLT) For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.”
Consider that the love of God is so strong that He made us His own family. We don’t just think of Him as our creator but our Father who treasures us truly. Read here: 1 John 3:1 (GNB) “See how much the Father has loved us! His love is so great that we are called God’s children — and so, in fact, we are. This is why the world does not know us: it has not known God.”
Spiritual people understand that they are part of God the Father. Jesus Christ came to show us how to relate to the Father. We don’t relate to Him as creatures who only come with a list of requirements for our basic survival but as children who miss their Abba. We know that the Father is good, He anticipates our needs and meets them daily, so we don’t live for the belly but for the Kingdom of our loving Father. Yes we may have problems but just like any normal family, the Father helps us and cares for us.
