Born of God - John 1:12,13

 John 1:12,13

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: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

    Romans 9:8

That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed.

    Romans 9:16

So then, it does not depend on man’s desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.

    We are born of God by God's mercy, God's extension of grace to us through His Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, Who died on the cross paying the penalty for the sins of the world, including you and I. 

    We are born of God through God. Nothing we do will ever pay for our sins against God. We are His children when our hearts and minds believe and receive Jesus Christ into ourselves. We exchange these filthy garments for the garment of righteousness [Romans 13:14], and then we are clothed with the garment of praise [Isaiah 61:3].

    We are His children when we believe on The Name Above All Names for our salvation. Christ is our Brother, then, and God is our Father, our heavenly Father. IN CHRIST we are become brothers and sisters. We are the family of God. And we want you who are not yet in this family to join us. 

    But it has to be your decision. You have the option of believing or not believing. But without the garment of Christ's righteousness upon you, you will be outside of God's grace and mercy. 

It's a dark and scary world out there. And getting darker. But The Light of God's Love is calling your name right now. 

Acts 26:18

To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in Me.
