A Child

Sep 23, 2026  •  Don Chandler

In this message, Bro. Don takes up the question of identity in Christ by declaring that every born again believer is a child of the living God. He walks through how we enter the family of God through the new birth, where the Spirit of God applies the Word of God to the heart of a lost sinner and transfers them from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of light. He then unpacks the privileges of enjoying that family, including freedom from condemnation, the nourishment of God's Word, the riches of his grace, the fellowship of the church, the robe of righteousness, and the certain hope of a family future in heaven. Bro. Don closes by calling every believer not just to enjoy the family but to enlarge it, reminding us that shepherds do not produce sheep, sheep do, and that every child of God is commissioned to share the gospel with those still dead in their sin.
