In Christ, we can be God\\u2019s children (John 1:12). \\nConfidence is important when it comes to that relationship.

With confidence that God loves me and that I am His child, I never have to be afraid.\\nI hold my head high when I am with my earthly siblings. I am proud of them and the relationship we all have with one another. In an even greater way, I have confidence in my relationship with my heavenly Father and all of my siblings in Christ. I am part of His family\\u2014no matter how I feel or what I face. \\u2022 Emily Acker\\n\\u2022 If your faith is in Jesus, what makes you doubt you are securely a part of God\\u2019s family? \\n\\u2022 Our sin separates us from God, but Jesus\\u2014who is God\\u2014died and rose again so we could join God\\u2019s family through faith.
