Sometimes our hearts become fearful about our salvation. We ask ourselves, do we really belong to God? Has God accepted us into his kingdom? Are we fooling ourselves to think we belong to God?
When Peter said to Jesus, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God,” Jesus replied, “Flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven” (Mathew 16:13-17).
We can have confidence that we belong to God because we would not believe that Jesus was the Savior unless the Father himself revealed this to us. God does not play mind games. He does not reveal himself to those he does not want to be his.
The Holy Spirit reveals in this that we are the children of God (Romans 8:16).
