Text — Ephesians 2:13-22

Message

Sometimes we come across young people who live like orphans despite having parents that are alive as a result of their rebellion. Such people lose the care, love, and shared happiness in a family and long to be reconciled to their families to enjoy the privileges of family members. However, no matter how they wish to be reconciled to their family members, the onus on them to take practical steps to go back to the family.

God’s household means God’s family where there is unfeigned love, mutual respect, forgiveness, sharing and caring for one another. Many youths have left God’s household today in search of sinful pleasures and have made themselves spiritual orphans. Sinners can become part of God’s household through genuine repentance to be born again. Backsliders who left God’s family should return and believers should remain in unbroken fellowship with God and with one another. If you are outside God’s family, the Lord is standing at the door of your heart knocking and inviting you to His household.
