If we have chosen to be a disciple of Jesus we have been given adopted status as sons and daughters of the Father through Jesus. This status is not to be taken as a rite, but as a privilege. We have been given it not to sit idly with it and hoard it to ourselves, but to display it through obedience to Christ. God blesses us as children of His not that we would be the recipient of it and leave it there, but that we would display this status attractively in order that others may claim it as well.
Dennis Ngien says we really only have one way of evangelizing to people: make being a follower of Christ as attractive as possible. Being obedient to Christ does this.
I am bound to edit, update, and expand on this, but for now let's leave it here. It is 12:45am.
