Who is God? All hail the power... (part 8)


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.
