Scripture: Hebrews 2:10-11
Hebrews 2:10-11 (NIV) proclaims, “In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered. Both the one who makes people holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters.” These verses beautifully illustrate our intimate connection to Christ and our identity as children of God.
Through His suffering and sacrifice, Jesus paved the way for us to be reconciled with God and to share in the glory of His kingdom. As members of God’s family, we are united with Christ, our elder brother, and co-heirs of His eternal inheritance.
Reflecting on Hebrews 2:10-11 prompts us to embrace our identity as children of God. Are we living in the reality of our adoption into God’s family through faith in Christ? Do we recognize the privilege and honor of being called brothers and sisters of Jesus?
Romans 8:16-17 (NIV) declares, “The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.” This passage emphasizes our status as heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ, highlighting the intimacy of our relationship with Him.
Consider the example of the prodigal son in Luke 15:11-32, who returned to his father’s house and was welcomed with open arms. Despite his waywardness, the father embraced him as his beloved son, illustrating God’s boundless love and forgiveness for His children.
As we reflect on Hebrews 2:10-11, let us rejoice in our identity as children of God and co-heirs with Christ. May we walk in the confidence and assurance of our inheritance, knowing that we are deeply loved and accepted in the family of God.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for adopting us into Your family through the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Help us to embrace our identity as Your beloved children and to live in the reality of our inheritance as co-heirs with Christ. May we walk in the freedom and assurance of Your love each day. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
