King George V, who is the grandfather of the Queen Elizabeth, something he used to say to his sons,

my boys remember who you are. My boys remember who you are. My boys remember who you are.

But I can tell you in a far, far, far, far more important truth that we the believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, must remind ourselves not only daily, but moment

by moment, of who we are. We have been learning throughout the series of messages from Romans

that our salvation is a gift from God, that our justification is a gift of God. Our redemption

is God's indescribable gift to every believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. Our adoption

into the royal family of God is undeserved and unmerited. But once we are adopted,

once we have taken on this new family name, once we have been robed with the robe of righteousness

of the Lord Jesus Christ, once Once we identified as members of the royal

family of King Jesus, once we are called princess and princesses, once we've done that,

we need to constantly remind ourselves on a moment-by-moment basis of who we are, that we need to constantly

remind ourselves how to live as royals. We need to know how to behave as royals. We need to

understand how our lives must reflect that new family name. We need to understand how our lives must reflect that new family name.

We need to learn how to bring honor and not this honor to the king who graciously adopted us as sons and daughters.

When the king graciously and gratuitously adopted you and you could not do anything to get it.

The only thing is required is for us to bow the knee and say thank you, to bow the knee and do

thank you.

Most of you said, well, I know how to say thank you.

How do I do thank you?

I'm glad you asked because I want to tell you.

It is Romans chapter 6.

Please turn to it with me, where the apostle Paul tells us how to do thank you.
