Today’s SuperVerse is John 1:12 – How to Become a Child of God
John 1:12 says, “But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” Through faith in Jesus Christ tells us that anyone can become a child of God . Here are some steps you can take to become a child of God, based on this verse.
Receive Jesus Christ
The first step to becoming a child of God is to receive Jesus Christ into your life. This means acknowledging that you are a sinner and that you need a Savior. Jesus died on the cross to pay the penalty for your sins and rose again from the dead to give you new life. When you receive Jesus into your life, you are acknowledging that he is the only way to be saved and that you are putting your trust in him.
Believe in His Name
Believing in Jesus’ name means that you have faith in who he is and what he has done for you. You believe that he is the Son of God who came to save you from your sins. You also believe that he is the only way to be reconciled to God and to receive eternal life. Believing in Jesus’ name involves trusting him with your life and submitting to his will.
Accept the Right to Become a Child of God
When you receive Jesus into your life and believe in his name, you are given the right to become a child of God. This means that you are adopted into God’s family and become one of his children. You now have access to all the blessings and benefits that come with being a child of God, such as forgiveness of sins, peace, joy, and eternal life.
Follow Jesus
Becoming a child of God is just the beginning of your journey with him. As a child of God, you are called to follow Jesus and to live a life that is pleasing to him. This means obeying his commands, seeking his will, and walking in his ways. Following Jesus is a lifelong journey that requires faith, commitment, and perseverance.
In conclusion, becoming a child of God is a simple yet profound process that involves receiving Jesus Christ, believing in his name, accepting the right to become a child of God, and following Jesus. If you have never taken these steps, I encourage you to do so today. As John 1:12 says, “But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.”
