If we not Children we are illegitimate.
Nowadays we have misused the name "Christians", as we see many people calling themselves by that name but not following the "Love commandment" of Jesus Christ! It is of no surprise that this name wasn't a revelation given from God but it was given to believers by unbelievers! Christ said He only came to make disciples, and for a person to be a disciplined needs to have a childlike attitude that adheres and not become arrogant and ignorant when we are disciplined. It is in these end times where we can even distinguish between illegitimate and legitimate children, because the child of the neighbor is no longer disciplined by strangers but by the neighbor himself. Even us we must only listen and learn from God, because there is nothing that the world, cultures, religion and traditions can teach or give us in order for us to share the holiness of God except for us to have faith in Christ in abide in His Word.
[ If God doesn’t discipline you as he does all of his children, it means that you are illegitimate and are not really his children at all. ]
(Hebrews 12:8)
