Tag: What the Bible says about becoming a child of God

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-1-23

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.

For those who have received Him and believe in the name of Jesus Christ, what did He do for them?

He gave them the right to become one of God’s children!

Outside of this, it is not possible to be God’s child.

He gives us that right when we put our faith in Him; it cannot happen or take place any other way.

As we become His child, we must understand that He has a purpose for us.

And because we are now His child, He will protect us, care for us, and guide us.

Yes, that’s right! He will lead us down the path He has for us. We will be led by the God of heaven and earth if we allow our spirit to listen and be led.

As we grow, our spirit will crave His wisdom and knowledge. It is up to us to feed our spirit by learning about what His word says to do and how to do it.

Our heart will feel His love. And His love living in us will cause us to want to give of ourselves by helping others.

Sometimes we will even feel the need to give out more than we have for ourselves. That’s not a bad thing. It is God moving in us. And when this happens, He will provide as we obey Him.

Think about the five loaves and two fish that Jesus used to feed 5,000 people (John 6:10-13).

The disciples didn’t have enough to start with, but as they took the step that Jesus told them to take, in obedience and faith, God supplied for everyone there. And there were even baskets full of leftovers!!

Being a child of God is a blessing. We have nothing to worry about. He has gone before us and knows well in advance what we need to do at times. He has us covered.

It doesn’t mean we won’t face hardships. It does mean, however, that if we do face a hardship, and we don’t give up on Him, He will help us every step of the way.

His children are everything to Him. Be serious about our walk and watch what He will do in our lives as we seek first His kingdom, not ours. Amen.

Matthew 6:33 (NKJV) 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-30-21

Matthew 12:50 (NKJV) 50 For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”

How do we do the will of God?

By giving our all to follow His word in believing that His Son, Jesus Christ, is Who He says He is; The Messiah, the Christ, our Savior, God in the flesh.

He takes those in like family who believe in Him and trust Him.

We are His brother, sister, and even His mother.

This applies only to only those who enter in through the right door; the door that is open for every person who wants to believe. This door is open to every person that wants to give up their life and serve Him with all their heart.

In order to be in His family, we need to believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. We need to repent and let Him change us, by renewing our minds and softening our hearts. We need to let Him have complete control over our life, doing all that He has for us to do.

Let us be open and honest about everything. We are family. We can talk to Him. He will understand and listen and bring correction and encouragement where needed.

Revelation 3:19 (NKJV) 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.

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.

Please click to watch the video now.Greetings! 

Child of God is an expression that’s taken on many meanings in recent times.

In today’s video, As Many as Received Him, we spend a few minutes discussing this and breaking down what it really means to be a child of God vs. what the masses may believe. 

We hope you will watch this video and share it with others who may need a better understanding of being God’s child.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-24-18

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…

How do we become children of God? We receive and believe in Jesus Christ as our Savior, our Messiah, and our Lord!

This is the most wonderful thing we could have in this life!

When we truly open up and repent from our sins, the freedom and peace we get is phenomenal.

Our spirit unites with God, through His precious Son, Jesus Christ. And we begin to want to learn more and more about Him. As we study Him, and the way He desires for us to live, we will begin to change. Our hearts will grow soft.

When our hearts become soft and compliant enough, God will begin to use us here on earth.

Eventually, if we let God continue to shape us, we will sell ourselves out to Him.

The disciples gave up everything they knew in order to follow Jesus. That is what will take place in our hearts if we allow it to happen.

Our life as a child of God is a constant journey of learning, training and becoming all that He so desires for us to be.

He is a heart changer, and for a very good purpose!

Every one of us will change, but how much we change will depend on our willingness. We are all different and unique in many ways. Some of us move quickly and others tend to move a little more cautiously or slowly.

The important thing is that when God changes our hearts, we will be ready to move when He says to move, change when He says to change and let go when He says to let go.

There is no holding back from Him when He truly touches us and brings change to our hearts.

It is rewarding to serve as a child of God.

Mark 10:45 (NKJV) 45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”

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.
