BORN OF GOD

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born not of blood, nor of the will of flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 

                                                              John 1:12-13

       Children of God! Given this right by Father God Himself! But, this right is not given to just anyone. It is given to those who believe that He is whom He says He is --the Son of God! It is given to those who receive Him as the One and Only Son of the Living One, God!

      In this situation, the rebirth is not by anything which man has done. It is totally by the will of God and is given to those who believe and receive.

     To receive Jesus as the true Son of God, we must believe that He came to save mankind from the sins of disbelief and rebellion. Mankind rejected God and rebelled against His rule. There was no way that man could return to God!

     But God made the way! He gave His Son as a ransom for all so that any who believed and received Jesus as Christ would be saved. Let us praise Him and receive Jesus!
