The Child of God: Life as an Heir to the Kingdom of Heaven

by David Dingess

The Bible clearly teaches that God is our Father and we are His children. There are a lot of misconceptions, even in the Christian community, of who God is. Only when we have a better understanding of who He is, can we have a better understanding of who we are as His children.When we were young children, our entire identity was wrapped up in our parents. It is only as we grow and mature that we begin to develop our own unique identity. Eventually, with our parent’s blessing, we leave their home to start life on our own. At the beginning of creation, mankind’s story is similar. His children, Adam and Eve, had their identities wrapped up with the Lord. God had created a perfect home for them.He did not want them to leave home. But Adam and Eve decided to go their own way. They sinned against the Lord and broke their perfect relationship. But even though the relationship was broken, God never stopped loving them. Likewise, He has never stopped loving us. Since Adam and Eve fell into sin, our heavenly Father has never stopped trying to restore mankind to their rightful place as heirs to His kingdom. That is the central story of the Bible. The story of the Child of God is the process of regaining our identity in our heavenly Father.

I needed to read this book. So much truth straight from scripture

Both my parents have passed on to glory, so now in my 60ties, I am an orphan. I am grateful that David Dingess took the time to write this book to encourage those who will read it. We are Heirs of the Father and joint heirs with the Son we are children of the Spirit. We are family.
