When I was 5 years old, I saw a girl extremely tall for her age, and we were the same age. My mother told me the reason she was so tall was because of her genes. I thought to myself, “Why would she be tall just because of the pants she wears. I also have jeans but I’m not as big as she is.” The point is, if your parents are tall, you’re more likely to be tall as well. In the same way, if you’re born again, God is your Father. Thus, your spiritual characteristics come from Him. That means that who you are is not based on what you were. You become you based on your parents’ DNA. And so if your Father is heavenly, then your identity is now no longer earthly but likewise heavenly. You’re born again to become heavenly. And if your Father is holy, then your identity is now no longer unholy, but likewise holy. Holy is what you were born again to become. And if your Father is perfect, then it’s for you now to start becoming likewise – perfect.
From Message #1529 - Earthly Fathers & Children of Heaven
Today, ponder your heavenly DNA. In salvation, you have the spiritual genes of heaven. What does that mean? Live accordingly.
