"To open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me." - Acts 26:18

Children of God
The children of God have the Holy Spirit in them and when they are born again they begin to look like their Father. They abide in Him, and He in them. They realize that Christ came because of God’s love. Christ came to free us from bondage. Christ is the only sufficient propitiation for sin. Faith in Christ restores our relationship with God the Father. Believers realize that their sin sent Christ to the cross. God invites all to sit at His table and be forgiven of their sin. We must realize we are guilty and have rebelled against the great love of God. Only by participation in the death and resurrection of Christ can one be forgiven. The children of God both become pure and remain pure by faith. A child of God remains pure by keeping His commandments through walking in love. The children of God are those who go on believing that Jesus is the Son of God and overcome the world through faith.
