God's Family Identified

Luke 8:21 "And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God, and do it." kjv2k

Point to ponder on: Jesus only can genuinely identify those who truly belongs to God's family.

In this age of wide spread religion and denominationalism, attachment to a denomination has been mistakenly identified as a tag of being part of God's family. However, we must reemphasize the statement of Jesus through whom we got adopted into the family of God. Jesus made it clear that those who belong to the family of God are not those seen with what in our present age refers to what Jesus associates with, that is, the Church as a denomination(organization or organism) but simply based on two profound truths. Those identified by Jesus to belong to the family of God are  believers who:(Luke 8:21)
1. Hear the word of God. To hear in this text means to attend to, consider what is or has been said in the Holy Bible directly or indirectly through teachers or preachers anointed in this capacity in the body of Christ.

2.Do it.(Do the word of God).In this text, to do is to carry out, to execute, and to act rightly in accordance to the word of God.

One can be known as a member of a Church and even bags titles and has being promoted in ranks in the Church leadership, but without these two characteristics, such is not identified by Jesus to belong to the family of God. We must create time to hear the word of God where ever possible whether through audio or video CD, mp3, the use of phone and tablet, PC, reading, studying, listening to teachers and preachers of the full gospel and do the word. "Then said Jesus to those Jews who believed on him, If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed." (Jn.8:31) God's family members hear the word and do it. Be a hearer and doer of the word.

Good morning. Enjoy His peace.

I celebrate you.
