In God, we live, move and have our being as we are His offspring


In God, we live, move and have our being as we are His offspring

Acts 17:28
28 ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’

Deut 30:20
19 This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live 20 and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Job 12:10
10 In his hand is the life of every creature
    and the breath of all mankind. 

Dan 5:23
23 Instead, you have set yourself up against the Lord of heaven. You had the goblets from his temple brought to you, and you and your nobles, your wives and your concubines drank wine from them. You praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or understand. But you did not honor the God who holds in his hand your life and all your ways. 

We learn the following from the above verses

1)  In God, we live, move and have our being as we are His offspring
2)  For the Lord is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
3)  In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.
4)  Belshazzar did not honor God, who holds the life of every man and their ways in His hand.
