You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. — Gal 3:26 BSB

People strive for wealth and status in this world. They believe that acquiring millions or holding high office is the path to success.

Some spend their whole lives seeking recognition in society. How pitiful all this must seem from heaven!

Paul tells us what truly matters—being children of God through faith in Christ. That’s far greater than being part of the most exclusive social circle. Being heirs of God is more valuable than owning millions.

When the disciples asked who was the greatest, they were thinking in earthly terms. But Jesus taught that greatness comes from being like a little child. Serving others is the highest calling. To be like Christ is true glory.
