In believing and accepting Jesus as “My Lord and My God” John 20:28, we become children of God. “To all who believed Him and accepted Him, He gave the right to become children of God” John 1:12 “Together with Christ we are heirs of God’s glory (His unfailing saving love, truth and power).” Roman 8:17
As“Sons of God” and “Heirs of God”, whenever we pray the heavens opened, and the Holy Spirit, in bodily form, descended on Him (us) like a dove. And a voice from heaven said “You are my dearly loved son, and you bring me great joy.” Luke 3:21-22
This acceptance and affirmation of God as His“Dearly loved son” meet our acceptance needs and esteem. Needs to function well in life to prosper and succeed in all we do.
Praise and thank God for His unfailing acceptance and esteem to empower us to hope and live a rich and satisfying life.
“I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust Him.
Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.” Roman 15:13
