The Children Of The Gods

Dinfine God....... Any of verious beings conceived of man as supernatural,immortal, having special powers over the man�s life and the course of natural.

A god could be a image that is worshiped.

Or something which rules your life and puts God�s will second.

WHO IS THE GOD OF MANKIND?

Opening Statment....... Since God is the creator of all mankind and He created man in His image, � Are all men the children of God?

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Dig............ If you believe not, Why not?

Reason Not:
1. Because we are All sinners ( Rom.3:23 )
We fall short of God�s glory.

�WE FALL SHORT OF GOD�S RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HOLINESS.�

2.God hates sin and He has promissed to judge the ends of earth. (1 Sam 2:10 )

3.We all are Sinners, and we all are
a. Wicked (Ps 26:9,10)
b. Hostile to God ( Jude 15)
c. Lost (Luke 19:10)
d. Separated from God.( Gen 3:24 )

The natural man does not accept the things of God
( 1 Cor 2:14 ). So the Natural MAN is Unrighteous
Therefore the unrighteous Man will;

1. Supress The Truth ( Rom 1:18 )

2. Is filled with all unrighteousness,
wicked,greed,evil, full of envy,murder,strife,deceit,malice; they are gossips,slanders, haters of God; insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil.

Children Of The Devil ( John 8:,44)

John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him.

When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
(KJV)

Recap:The Lost

1. A God is anything mankind worships
and puts ahead of love.

2. Is all of mankind the Children of
God? No! Because all men are lost and
bondage to sin until freed by the Gace
of God through Faith in Christ

3. Man in his unregenrated state is dead
in sin and can not understand the things
of God until he be made alive in Christ.

Therefore, man is lost and separated from God until he repents and accepts Christ.

The Children Of GOD:

1. Attributes
a. They Hear Christ ( Jn 10:3,4 )
b. They Follow Christ ( Jn 10:4,5,27 )
c. Receives Christ ( Jn 1:12 )

2. Fruits Seen In
a. Humble ( 1 Peter 5:5 )
b. Loving( 1 Thess 4:9 )
C. Humility ( Phil 2:3,4 )
d. Gentle ( Matt 5:7 )
e. Merciful ( Matt 5:5 )
f. Obedient ( Rom. 16:19 )
g. Pure ( Matt 5:8 ) h. Sincere ( 2 Cor 1:12 )
I. Zealeous ( Titus 2:14 )

1 JOHN 3:10

By this the Children of God and the of the devil are
obvious: Anyone who does not practice righteousness is
not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother.

What is The standing of God�s Children before Him?

1.Blameless before Him ( Phil 2:15 )
2.Faithful (Rev 17:14)
3.Godly (2 Peter2:9 )
4.Holy (Col 3:12 )
