Monday, May 19, 2025Key Verse

Text —John 1:10-14
Message
It was T. D. Jakes who said that, “Becoming a child of God means receiving a new identity, a new purpose, and a new destiny.” The concept of becoming a child of God is deeply rooted in Christian theology. Our text, especially in verse 12, emphasizes that belief in Jesus Christ grants believers the privilege and authority to be part of God’s family. It’s not merely a biological or earthly inheritance but a spiritual transformation — a rebirth that transcends physical lineage. Those who trust in Christ and accept Him as their Saviour receive this remarkable gift, becoming heirs of God’s promises. However, according to Evang. Billy Graham, “Salvation is not just a one-time event, but a lifelong journey of growth and transformation in Christ.” Will you go with Him?
In summary, the power to become a child of God lies in faith and acceptance of Jesus Christ. Becoming God’s child is a divine invitation extended to all who believe, transcending human limitations and granting us a new identity as beloved members of God’s family. Through this spiritual adoption, we find purpose, hope, and eternal life.
