And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with Him I am well pleased.” (NIV) Matthew 3:17
Father God affirmed the Sonship of Jesus, the real identity of Jesus. Father also expressed his love and happiness to His Son Jesus. I believe that this is the way God sees me and you.
My Son: Father God redeemed each one of us by the blood of Jesus. As a result, we become God’s sons and daughters through a covenantal relationship which is established by the blood of Jesus. Paul clearly says we are purchased by God (Gal.3.13; 1Cor.6:20). Surely God looks at me and you say “my son, my daughter.” We are God’s possession and treasure.
I love: God is love and He loves us. He manifested this love by giving His Son for us at the cross. You are created to receive this eternal love within you. Do not think you have nobody and no one loves you. You are covered by God’s love. It flows into our heart. You can feel it and taste it.
I am well pleased: Many people think that God is angry at them and He is not happy with them. I think it may not be an accurate picture of God’s heart. It is a time of grace. God is happy with His sons and daughters.
Jesus’ obedience to Father brought these great affirmations from Father to Jesus. We are redeemed by God. We are God’s possession and He owns us. He loves us. He is happy with us. He calls you my son or my daughter. Any other voice that says to you that you are unloved, you are alone, you are abandoned and you are a burden are not from God. Cancel them and walk in the voice of God that affirms your God given identity, His love and happiness to you.
