Luke 3:22 New International Version (NIV)
22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily
form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I
love; with you I am well pleased.”
God spoke these wonderful words to his Son when Jesus was
baptized. God feels the same about us when we follow our Savior's example and
are baptized, too! Jesus pours out his Spirit on us (Titus 3:4-7) guaranteeing
that we are God's children (cf. Ephesians 1:13-14). No matter what Satan
may do to make us doubt it (cf. Luke 4:3), we can confidently know that we
are God's beloved children, with whom he is well pleased! Because of the
Spirit, we can call God our Abba Father (Galatians 4:6) knowing that the Spirit
intercedes for us making even our inexpressible thoughts known to our Father (Romans
8:26-27).
Thought for today:
Have I given thought as to whether I’m living in a way that is pleasing to God?
