John 1:12 (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…
As many as received Him, He gave the right to become children of God!
Wow! What an awesome statement from God’s word.
This particular verse lays everything out, in black and white, making it very clear that if we embrace Him, put our faith in Him, receive Him, we will become His children. It also makes it very clear that if we deny Him, reject Him or choose not to put our faith in Him, we are clearly not His children.
In today’s world, political correctness has led many people astray, causing them to say that there might be more than one way to the Father, to eternal life with Him. But this one verse lays all debates to rest on this issue.
If we believe, we are His children. If we don’t, we are not. Very plain and very straight forward.
We are born as children, but not as children of God.
So if you ever feel confused or have any doubts that being a child of God requires action on our part, remember this verse.
And if you have never put your faith and trust in God, don’t wait any longer. Do it today.
