~ Good Morning!

Our Bible verse, today, is found in …

• John‬ ‭1:12 •

“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:” (KJV)

Let’s take a deeper look at this verse.

✝️ “But to as many” — Individual people; people who had before been disobedient and unruly …

✝️ “to them gave He power…” (He gave them power) — The word “power” here means, that Jesus gave those who accepted Him, both the authority and ability, to be saved, changed and to become obedient Children of God.

✝️ “to become” — Jesus is, absolutely, the Son of God and through the cross, and His blood, we become the sons of God.

✝️ “the sons of God” — We become the sons and daughters of God in name and in nature. Through Jesus, we are now the legally adopted children of Father God, with all the same rights that Jesus has.

✝️ “believe on his name” — This is a phrase denoting authority, and having a supreme relationship with God. A person who believes, and accepts Jesus, as Lord and Savior, is from Father God, just as an earthly son is from his father. Because we are now a child of God, Father God has given us an inheritance which is the power to live an abundant life on earth and the supernatural power to have an eternal life in heaven.

⁉️ Have you received Jesus?

⁉️ Have you received the power to become a child of God?

⁉️ Have you believed in His name?

⁉️ Have your sins been forgiven and forgotten?

Today would be an excellent day for you to put your faith, and trust, in Jesus.

‼️ Believe in Jesus!

‼️ Take Him at His Word!

‼️ Trust Him as your Savior, and Lord!

‼️ Become a child of Father God!

❓ What about you who are already believers in Jesus? Are you placing your absolute trust in Him? Are you trusting Him to meet all of your needs? How are you on a Faith Scale today? You really need to think about this!

Don’t let your faith flatten just because you’ve been a believer for a period of time. Ask Jesus to renew your relationship with Him, right now, and then, you work hard to cultivate that relationship with Him every day.

God bless you as you Totally Devote Yourself to Jesus!

Sincerely,

— Pastor Gene
