Romans 8:16-17
“The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs – heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ . . .” (NIV)
For the past couple years, I have been searching for information about upland bird dogs. I have researched types, traits, pedigrees, anything and everything that has to do with bird dogs. Through my search, I decided that my pup must be AKC and/or NAVHDA registered. On top of that, I wanted my pup’s pedigree to have several SH (seniors hunters) or MH (master hunters) with the AKC. For NAVHDA, I wanted the VC (versatile champion). When we come into the saving knowledge of Christ, we become part of a special pedigree. Romans tells us that we become “heirs” of God. Once we accept Christ into our lives on a personal level, we are part of His pedigree. This pedigree is full of MH, SH, and VC titles. (NS)
If you need encouragement today, remember you are part of God’s pedigree. You are part of something great. You have been chosen to do only what He has designed you to do. You were hand-picked by God to be part of this lineage.
