Bible Verse of The Day – 3-31-22

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…

The right to become children of God; what a beautiful thing it is to become a child of God.

Do you see the verb, become, in this sentence? This means that we must take action in order to become a child of God. And that action is that we believe and receive Him.

We can’t expect this to just happen simply because our parents, our ministers or our friends are already children of God. We can’t expect that we will be a child of God because we do good things and make good choices.

There is action required for us to “become”. This is very important, and it can only be done by us. No one else can do it for us.

John 1:13 (NKJV) 13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

This verse states that children of God are not born of man, but of God.

This is what Jesus referred to as being “born again”.

John 3:3 (NKJV) 3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

When Jesus said we must be born again, the word, “again”, literally means “from above”.

We are not born all over again, as a natural baby is born. It is of God.

Our spirit man comes alive as we receive Him and believe in His name; the name of Jesus Christ.

Once this happens, we will want our spirit to grow and learn all about His will for us and the things that please Him.

We are a new creation. He has begun a new work in us.

John 4:34 (NKJV) 34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-15-20

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 heard the expression, “we are all God’s children”?

Did you know that is a lie?

Somewhere along the way, the enemy planted seeds that grew into this terrible lie in order to deceive millions upon millions into thinking that being born into this world makes them one of God’s children.

Let’s take a look at the two verses above and see why this is so.

Verse 12 states very clearly, “to them He gave the right to become children of God”.

Who is “them”?

They are “as many as received Him” and “those who believe in His name”.

This is referring to anyone who has put their faith and trust in Him, offering loyalty, faithfulness and devotion to Him in their heart.

And to further dispel the lie, take a look at verse 13.

This applies to those “who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God”.

As you can see, simply being born (of the flesh, of blood, or by the will of man) does not make us God’s children.

So, what does make us a child of God?

Being born “of God”.

Jesus referred to this as being “born again”.

John 3:3 (NKJV) 3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

The phrase “born again” literally means “born from above”, which equates to being born “of God”.

And there you have it, very plain and simple.

The word of God never ceases to amaze me with its intricacies and its attention to every little detail, all while spanning thousands of years.

Let us all pray that more people will get this understanding and become true children of God. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 6-21-16

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.
