(John 1:12-13 NKJV) 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.
But as many as received Him… These are very important words for the world to hear and understand.
We all need to understand what this means! Sadly, there is a false teaching that has been propagated throughout the earth that teaches that just because Jesus died, everyone will go to heaven.
Many people believe that we are all God’s children. But this verse above is one of many that breaks this myth and shows us that we need to receive Him in order to be called one of God’s children.
Yes… we are all God’s creations, but we are not all God’s children. This verse proves it!
Have you received Him? Have you acknowledged Him and accepted the sacrifice that he made for you on the cruel cross? Do you believe that He died for your sins?
Becoming one of God’s children isn’t difficult and it doesn’t require you to do anything special other than to put your faith in Him.
If you have never done this, do it today. Tell Him that you need Him. Ask Him to forgive you for your sins and then ask Him to help you start fresh and make you new.
It’s that easy. He’s waiting for you to reach out to Him and become one of His children. Do it right now, in the name of Jesus.
