Rights to Sonship

John 1:11-12 NIV

He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—

There's a gift that has been given and is greater than all other gifts. There's a gift that was given and which guarantees the hope of eternal life. There are blessings that only association with this gift can guarantee you, and this gift is Jesus the. Saviour. It really doesn't matter what you or I think; our impression of who he is only matters as it relates to the question of our eternity; it doesn't change who Jesus really is.

He was born into a family,a community and a people, but familiarity with his background prevented his people from accepting him. He spoke with his own people but because they knew his father's house, his message was rejected. Isn't that pretty much what we do today? We get so familiar with church activities and equate it with the true experience. We get involved in activity and programs, seeking to fill the vacuum only God can fill with activity and presence in church. We forget that this faith isn't based on activity but on faith on the finishex work of Christ on Calvary. It is not your membership of church that saves you; it is your faith in the finished work of Christ that gives you hope of a future.

The invitation is still open: to ALL who receive him. That is the condition to be fulfilled. As you receive him and accept his finished work, all that he has promised: His presence, power and possessions become yours by right.

Accept him today and watch him work wonders in your life. He does not guarantee you a tribulation-free life; he only promises that he will be with you and bring you to a safe and expected end. Rejoice, as his time of favour is here
