Some Christians are living without their privileges as children of God. This is because they are not sure of who they really are in Christ. The phrase “children of God” is said so often that it has truly lost its meaning. It is easy to say we are children of God in a casual way, especially around other believers. But, the real question is do we really believe this? How do we really see ourselves especially when we are alone with our own thoughts?
Arrogance and pride are very dangerous in the lives of Christians because they become excuses for doing whatever the flesh wants. Pride can skew a Christian’s perspective, and prevent them from identifying the truth thereby keeping them in their state of spiritual blindness and unrepentance.
Christianity is an entirely spiritual experience. Many Christians live and operate in the carnal realm. They see everything simply as the natural senses interpret them. This lifestyle locks them up in the natural realm and makes them totally forget the world of the Spirit and by extension the reality of the kingdom of God. When your natural senses have the ascendancy and control your thinking, it blocks you from seeing the spiritual realities and accessing them.
