John 1:12-13 (NKJV) 12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Have you ever stopped to consider what it really means to be a child of God?
This scripture tells us that those who choose to receive Him, they are given the right to become His children. That’s a pretty powerful statement!
A right is something that nobody can take away from us. Not even the enemy can steal this from us.
And why can’t it be stolen from us? Because it’s not of natural descent. It’s purely spiritual. And it comes directly from God himself.
Things of this earth and of this world can be stolen. They can be taken away. But if something is a God-given right, it is ours. No questions asked. There is no doubt and no question about it.
So as you ponder on whether you’re really a child of God, remember that if you have received Him and believed in Him, you are His child. It is your right. A right given to us directly by God.
There is nothing more powerful than that. So kick your doubts to the curb and lift your eyes to Him. And give Him thanks today.
