In John 1: 12, the Apostle shared this truth: “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.” In Christ, we have the opportunity and privilege to become children of God. We were all created by God, but He gives us the privilege to become children of God if we receive His Son as our Savior, and believe in His sacrifice which cleanses us from all sin. Some people get offended at this most gracious offer. They don’t like being call sinners, and feel that there should be many ways to God. The big problem with this mode of thinking is that All-mighty God offered this to humanity because He loves us, and we’ve all sinned and come short of His Glory. We cannot save ourselves. The Lord Jesus is God’s loving offer to mankind for our redemption. The Bible says that every knee shall bow before Jesus in the future. So some will bow with joy as they go before their precious Messiah. Others will bow in shame, knowing that they rejected God’s loving offer, and they will then also realize that they are bowing before the very Lord that they rejected during their lifetime. Hebrews 3: 7&8 states: Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: “Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion”. God was not pleased with that generation that rejected Him. Let’s be the generation that receives His most generous and loving offer, and come to saving faith in Christ!
Galations 4: 7 “Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ”
Praise GOD! Thank you Lord Jesus dying on the Cross for the sins of the world! Good word Apostle Nazario! Thank you!
Amen
