You ever think about where your family name came from. Well I am here to tell you the mystery is solved. Your family is named by God.
“15from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,” – Ephesians 3:15 (ESV)
Okay, maybe you were not named directly by God, but your existence is due to the Father and His Grace and Glory. That is right, we exist thanks to the Father and therefor can attribute our name to Him who brought us forward.
I am the son of an earthly father and my Heavenly Father. I have the name of my earthly father and am in the Lamb’s book of life thanks to my acceptance of He as my savior and God as my Father. I am an heir to my earthly father’s estate and an heir to the kingdom of heaven. I was named by God.
What is your lineage? Are you living life knowing of only your earthly father? What if you were to live knowing that you have a heavenly father who named you and your are/could be heir to His kingdom with Jesus?
