The Child of Truth
Can people become part of a different family?
Did you ever feel like you were born into the wrong family? Have you ever wished you could start over and be born into a different family?
Most people have at some point in their lives. Most little girls like to pretend that they were born into a royal family and are princesses. Most little boys like to pretend that they were born to be a king.
Kids do not pretended to part of a family in Africa that is starving to death because their father was a boy who ran off when trouble came instead of being a man that would lay his life down to take care of his wife and children. Kids do not pretend to be part of a family with an alcoholic father that gambles the grocery money away forcing everyone to go without food. Kids do not pretend to be part of a family where there is no father and the mother is a prostitute who is addicted to drugs.
Some adults research their genealogy in hopes of finding that they descended from someone famous and good to make the family that they were born into somehow seem better. The father of my mother spent years researching his genealogy and he found that he was descendant of Leif Ericson and Eric the Red through his mother. The truth is knowing that we descended from kings did not make us one dime richer or one bit more influential. The truth is being descended from a king does not make you a king. We were still the same family.
Ever notice that when people tell you about their ancestors they always mention someone that is well known for some sort of noble effort? If someone had Native American ancestry and they are descendants of a great chief like Geronimo or a princess like Pocahontas they will tell you about that. Have you ever noticed that no one ever tells you that they descended from "Yellow Dog" who ran away from the battle when the village was attacked or "Sleeps with Many" the tribal prostitute?
The truth is that people long to belong to a good family that they can be proud of. A family that is strong. A family where no one is sick. A family that has more money than it needs. A family that rules. A family where all its members do what is right and good. A family where the father is strong and the mother is comforting.
Most people realize that the family that they were born into never quite lives up to those standards despite their best efforts. In the South we have a saying, "you can pick your friends but not your relatives".
Or can you? Can you start over and be born into a different family?
The truth is we were all born as slaves into the family of the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan aka The Devil). Like most slaves, we did nothing to become slaves. We were born as slaves because our parents were slaves. However, we do not have to remain slaves in the family of the Father of Lies because the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) has provided a way for us to start over and be born into His family. Anyone that is born into the family of the Father of Truth and remains there is a Child of Truth.
How can you start over and be born into a different family?
You must be born a second time into the family of the Father of Truth as a Child of Truth (John 3:7). When you become a Child of Truth (someone who obeys the Father of Truth because they love Him) then you start over again. Everything before that moment will pass away because you are a brand new creation. (2 Corinthians 5:17) Your disobedience will be wiped away by what the Man of Truth did for you and you will become as righteous as the Father of Truth (2 Corinthians 5:21).
How does being born a second time work? Pretty much the same way as when you were born the first time. The first time your father begot you by planting a seed in your mother and then you were born of your mother. The Father of Truth will beget you a second time (1 Peter 1:3). The word of truth that is written in the Book of Truth (aka the Bible) is the seed that is planted the second time (1 Peter 1:23). The second time you are born of the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) (John 3:6).
There is however one major difference. Unlike the family of the Father of Lies that you were born the first time where you had no choice, you have to choose to be born a second time into the family of the Father of Truth. The Father of Truth does not want anyone remain a slave the family of the Father of Lies (2 Peter 3:9). The Father of Truth is drawing you to the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) so you can be born a second time into the family of the Father of Truth (John 6:44). You can be absolutely assured that you will not be rejected if you come to the Man of Truth so you can be born a second time into the family of the Father of Truth (John 6:37).
The Child of Truth lives in the House of Truth (John 8:31). The Child of Truth is obedient to the Father of Truth in all things because the Man of Truth is the absolute ruler in their lives (Matthew 7:21). The Child of Truth does not just say that he is the absolute ruler of every aspect of their lives but seeks to obey the Man of Truth in all things (Luke 6:46). The Child of Truth follows him for the rest of their life (Matthew 10:22). The Child of Truth must remain in the House of Truth (John 15:4-7).
The Child of Truth is part of the family of the Father of Truth. The Child of Truth does not act like they are ashamed to be in the family of the Father of Truth (Matthew 10:32-33). The Child of Truth is a brother or sister to the Man of Truth because they are obedient to His Father (Matthew 12:50). The Man of Truth is not ashamed to call the Children of Truth his brothers and sisters because they all are in the family of the Father of Truth (Hebrews 2:11). The Child of Truth has confidence in what is written in the Book of Truth that causes them to obey the Father of Truth in every aspect of their lives (Hebrews 10:37-38). The Child of Truth does not despise the spankings given by the Father of Truth to help them become more like the Father of Truth (Hebrews 12:5-11).
Will you start over and be born into a different family?
You will be born again into His Family if you will come into the House of Truth. You come into the House of Truth when you will call the Man of Truth the absolute ruler of every aspect of your life because you believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).
Come into the House of Truth.
