So now you Gentiles are no longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens along with all of God's holy people. You are members of God's family.
A lyric from a Bill Gaither song says, "I’m so glad I’m a part of the Family of God! I’ve been washed in the fountain, cleansed by His blood. Joint heirs with Jesus as we travel this sod, For I’m part of the Family, the Family of God." Gaither was inspired by Ron Garner, a mechanic working double time to pay for his young daughter's heart surgery. Garner was seriously injured one late night in an explosion at his shop and he wasn't expected to live through to the next morning. Fellow church members and Christians in his community were alerted to pray for Ron through a chain of telephone calls. The church building was kept open and there was even an overnight prayer meeting. Ron survived the accident through what many felt was God answering His people's prayers. Don't ever underestimate the power of prayer and what God can do when His people get down on their knees and sincerely ask in prayer. Don't ever underestimate what God can do for you if you would just get down on your knees and sincerely ask in prayer.
