We have concluded our six-week series, I Am A Child of God, with a powerful reminder from Proverbs 24:16:
“Though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again…”
Pastor John Zayas reminded us that endurance is the evidence of spiritual maturity. Being a child of God does not exempt us from hardship. It equips us to overcome it.

Falling is inevitable. Staying down is optional.
The righteous fall — but they rise because:

• Their identity is secure.
• Their faith is anchored.
• Their hope is eternal.
• Their God is faithful.

The wicked stumble in crisis because they lack foundation. But when a child of God falls, grace lifts them.

This series has reminded us:

• We are chosen.
• We are grafted in.
• We are growing.
• And we are resilient.

Unwavering faith overthrows the schemes of the enemy. Getting back up silences doubt. Endurance declares, “God is not finished with me.”

As we move forward, may we remember:
Your fall does not cancel your calling.
Your setback does not erase your sonship.
Your struggle does not negate your identity.
Children of God rise again.
And again.
And again.
Because our Father is faithful.
