“To all who did receive Jesus, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.” —John 1:12-13 (NIV)

“But some people did accept him. They believed in him, and he gave them the right to become children of God. They became God’s children, but not in the way babies are usually born. It was not because of any human desire or plan. They were born from God himself.” —John 1:12‭-‬13 (ERV)

The only thing you need to be given the right to become a Child of God is faith. The Gods Word Translation of John 1:12 says that Jesus “gave the right to become God’s children to EVERYONE who believed in Him.”

When you believe in Jesus and receive Him, you are spiritually born again and receive eternal life. (John 3:3-16).

Jesus' sacrifice on the Cross means that what you've done or said in the past doesn't matter. Your past sins don't matter. Your sins are forgiven and you have been made acceptable in God's sight by the blood of Christ.

Jesus says in John 6:37 that He will never turn away anyone who comes to Him. And Friend, you are an anyone (see John 6:35-40).

By faith in Jesus, you can say, “God, I'm so blessed to be Your Child.” It's that simple. Amen! 🙌

The Holy Spirit renews us in baptism through His godhead, which He shares with the Father and the Son. Finding us in a state of deformity, the Spirit restores our original beauty and fills us with His grace, leaving no room for anything unworthy of our love. The Spirit frees us from sin and death, and changes us from the earthly men we were, men of dust and ashes, into spiritual men, sharers in the Divine Glory, sons and heirs of God the Father-- who bear a likeness to the Son and are His co-heirs and brothers, destined to reign with Him and to share His glory. In place of earth, the Spirit reopens heaven to us and gladly admits us into paradise, giving us even now greater honour than the angels, and by the holy waters of baptism extinguishing the unquenchable fires of hell.

We men are conceived twice: to the human body we owe our first conception, to the divine Spirit, our second. John says: "To all who received Him, who believed in His name, He gave power to become children of God. These were born not by human generation, not by the desire of the flesh, not by the will of man, but of God." All who believed in Christ, he says, received power to become children of God-- that is, of the Holy Spirit, and to gain kinship with God. To show that their parent was God the Holy Spirit, he adds these words of Christ: "I give you this solemn warning, that without being born of water and the Spirit, no one can enter the kingdom of God." [But through that same Spirit, He has given us both the power and means to accomplish this.]

Visibly, through the ministry of priests, the [water of the baptismal] font gives symbolic birth to our visible bodies. Invisibly, through the ministry of angels, the Spirit of God, whom even the mind’s eye cannot see, baptizes into Himself both our souls and bodies, giving them a new birth. Speaking quite literally, and also in harmony with the words of water and the Spirit, John the Baptist says of Christ: "He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire." Since we are only vessels of clay, we must first be cleansed in water and then hardened by spiritual fire – for God is a consuming fire. We need the Holy Spirit to perfect and renew us, for spiritual fire can cleanse us, and spiritual water can recast us as in a furnace, and make us into new men.

Saint Didymus of Alexandria

Man Was the Word, The Word Was Man: It Changes Everything

The Apostle John made the amazing claim that the Word was God. Certainly that claim had universal and cosmic implications, but those subjects were already being debated in divinity schools… The first chapter of his Gospel says the word was far above man, pre-existent, eternal, ephemeral, the essence of the divine Godhead, mysterious and unknowable. These mystical terms certainly position Jesus in…

So Privileged

My heart goes out to so many in this world who have lost their homes, their security, their families, and their peace. It makes me even more grateful to live in America where we are so privileged while other areas of the world, so many are under-privileged. Lord, please come to their aid. Lord, please stir our hearts to do what we can, when we can. I am very aware of God’s blessings in my life.…

let's see how far we've come :)

[image id: digital illustration of john egbert, jade harley, rose lalonde, and dave strider from homestuck. they are all laying on a blue checkered picnic blanket laying on top of one another in a familiar manner and smiling.

john is at the center laughing heartily while jade is to the right laying down on her side. dave is to the left and is in a comfortable lounging position with one leg over one of john's and is resting his head in rose's lap who is smirking at john and jade's antics.

they are all in their respective godtier outfits. around them are some lush grassy hills with variously colored wildflowers spotting the landscape and the sburb sun setting behind them. end image id.]

Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God. John 1:12 This verse reveals how saving faith (which allows us to receive forgiveness from God and enter a personal relationship with him) is both an immediate act and an ongoing process. And there are two big things that we must understand about this process. To become a child of…
