THE RIGHT TO BECOME SONS OF GOD
"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. "(John 1: 12, 13)
There are two classes of human beings in the world; there are those who are born of God and those who are born of the devil. Those who are born of the devil have the nature of the devil which is sin, and those who are born of God have the nature of God, which is righteousness. The Apostle John says in 1 John chapter 3 reading from verse 9 to verse 10, “Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.”
The ones who are born of God cannot sin or make a practice of sin, because the seed of God remains in them. The seed of God is the word of God; this is what God uses to give birth to his kids, James 1:18 says “Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures”, and 1 Peter 1:23 says we were “… born again, not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible, by the word of God, which lives and abides forever”
If you are not born again you do not belong to God; God is not your Father the devil is. This may sound incredible but it’s nothing but the real truth. Jesus in St. John’s gospel chapter 8 verse 44 said this to them who did not believe in Him “ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”
When a man dies, he goes to be with his father. If His Father is God, he would go and be with Him (in heaven), and if his father is the devil, he would go and be with him (in hell).
You may be reading this post and you know from deep down your heart that you are not a child of God and you want to become His child, all you have to do is to receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and you’ll receive the right to become a child of God. You can’t earn this right by your own works, it is by grace that you are saved “…through faith; and that is not of yourselves: it is the gift of God; not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8, 9) Just say “yes” to Him and He will usher you into His holy Family. The Bible says, “…as many as received him, to them gave he power (the right) to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name”(John 1: 12)
Pray this prayer:
O Lord God, I come to you in the Name Of Jesus Christ. I acknowledge that I am a sinner needing salvation. I ask Jesus to be Lord of my life; I believe with my heart that you raised Him from the dead. I receive eternal life into my spirit. I declare that I am saved; I am born again; I am a new creation in Christ Jesus! Now I have Christ dwelling in me, Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world; am a child of God – born from above. Hallelujah
