Your life comes from Me because you are My offspring.

Acts 17:28

‘For in him we live, and move, and have our being.’
As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’


Today’s   promise comes from a passage in    the Bible where the Apostle Paul is   debating with Greek   philosophers  on Mars Hill about the existence   of  the one and only true   God. In the  midst of his conversation, Paul   tells them that God is so   involved in  their lives that they   actually  live and move and have their   being in  Him.

Colossians 1:15-17 says this about Jesus…
15   who is  the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.   16 For by  him all things were created, in the heavens and on the  earth,  things  visible and things invisible, whether thrones or  dominions or   principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and   for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things are held   together.

Every   neutron and   electron and every strand   of DNA is held together by the  very  life   of the living God. Whether   we acknowledge this truth or not, it  does not  change the unshakeable   fact  that God is the very fabric  in   which  the universe is held   together. There is no denying it.

I   have  always found it   interesting that when Paul was speaking to the   pagan Greeks,  he quoted   one of their own poets that said… ‘we are all His  offspring’.  The truth is that God created every person who ever  lived because He  is the very author of life itself.

We    are all  God’s offspring through  creation and it is His desire     that every  person on the planet  would become His child through     redemption by the  free gift of His Son,  Jesus Christ.
