CLOSE
God thank you for sending your son into this world so that He might take our sin and shame on the cross and through his righteous blood shed for us we might be ushered into your kingdom.
Not only has his sacrifice covered our sin his sacrifice has reconciled us with you placing us under adoption as sons and daughters and making us coheirs with Christ!
Therefore LORD Jesus we praise you for miraculously calling us into your family and giving us the ability to become children of God.
Please help us to see ourselves as humbly chosen by you and let that be the source of our rejoicing both now and forevermore!
Help us to live up to the name and title you have given us as CHRISTIAN!
