“Ye shall be to me sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.” 2 Corinthians 6:18
Since there is neither male nor female in Christ, it may be surprising to encounter this distinctive reference to God’s daughters. Perhaps the reason is that the verse refers to a very close personal relationship which is the comforting experience of those who are truly separated to God.
In church government male and female have their respective positions, but in the spiritual realm there can be no peculiar position for either, since Christ is all and in all. But in this highly personal matter of following the Lord and perhaps suffering for his sake, there is a special comfort for any Christian woman to know that she is a beloved daughter of her heavenly Father.
