D.N.A. OF GOD

Galations 4:6 And because we are his children, God has sent the spirit of his Son into our hearts, prompting us to call out, “Abba, Father.” 

I was reminded the other day in a prayer meeting that we have the DNA of God in us. Science tells us we carry the DNA of our parents but Scripture tells us when we are born again that we now have God as our Father. So we can say, as believers in the Lord Jesus, because we are a child of God, we now carry His DNA because He is our Father and we are made in His image, in His likeness. 

He has made us new creations in Christ Jesus and we have been crucified with Christ which means our old person has gone and our old DNA from our natural parents has been superseded by the life giving resurrection life of our new Father, God Himself. We have inherited His genetic heredity as our Heavenly Father, to us His offspring, and our DNA is now God’s DNA. What a thought!🙂

Scripture goes even further in 1 John 4:17 (NKJV) Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgement; because as He is (Jesus), so are we in this world. 

As with all scripture, that verse is one of those mind stretching statements that we accept by faith and not by human reasoning. ‘As Jesus is, so are we in this world!’ I know of a lady who really got a hold of this verse and meditated on it till it got down in her spirit and stood on it. She wrote across her negative doctor’s report, “As Jesus is, so am I in this world”. When she returned for more tests some time later they were all miraculously cleared up. 

By faith she believed God’s word and ‘saw’ herself as Jesus is, and we can do the same because we know we are in Him, and He is in us, and He is whole and healthy.

It may be a new thought to some, or we maybe knew it but haven’t applied it to ourselves in our everyday situations by faith. But I believe God wants to encourage us all to allow the Holy Spirit to reveal to our spirits the wonderful implications it all has for us, in our here and now, as we walk by faith and not by sight.😊

2 Corinthians 5:17 (NLT) This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!

Galations 2:20 (NKJV) I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me, and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
