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.
