God’s Sons and Daughters
2 Corinthians 6:18
“I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says the LORD Almighty.”
As we saw in the commentary on Ephesians 3:14-15, God is expanding His family. Here the apostle Paul quotes from 2 Samuel 7:14 (about David’s descendants) and expands its meaning to show God’s familial love for His people.
What greater love could we experience than to be God’s own sons and daughters?
