God
describes who I am and how I become His, besides in Acts 2:38 and in John 1. In
Isaiah, He tells me through His prophet that I am from an oppressed race. The
Israelites were from a physically oppressed race, but me? How can that be?
Satan does everything he can to bind me into my temptations and make me feel
there is no way out as he does with all those in the world. But in Isaiah 18:7,
His children come from any oppressed nation that call to Him and plead and beg
for His mercy. In Isaiah 19:24,25 He calls to all His children, even those that
are in “Egypt” and “Assyria” in bondage. So when I make the conscious decision
to sin, He still calls me out of that, and should I be submissive to His will
and act as His child, like the Israelites, He will give me His inheritance.
Interesting that while there are those who He chooses to bless, only His children
are His children. Only those that have come in full obedience to Him, those who
bear His seal, those of the promise and covenant.
