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: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. (John 1:12-13 KJV)
Many religious people asked themselves these questions: 1) Where did I come from? 2) How did I arrive here? and 3) Where do I belong? These or more questions are the most people are looking for answers to their lives.
Let me ask a question. Do you know who you are? If you are a child of Satan, your life will become short. There is no life value if you are a child of this world or Satan. Many people in Hollywood have become famous to the world, but there is no eternal life value behind the worldly fame. First John 1:15-16 says, “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.”
But if you are a child of God, there is eternal value to your life. Apostle Paul says in Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Jesus said that there will be few people enter to eternal life (see Matthew 7:13-14). We already know that we are living on the last generation before the second coming of Jesus Christ. And it is not easy for us to live in this world for Christ. But if we are standing strong to live for Him, there is no fear when the devils would attack us and make us to worship him.
Receiving the gift of salvation is like the citizenship card. But there will be no effect to us if we hold the gift. We have to use our gifts to activate effectively. If you want to be a child of God, then you begin to exercise with those gifts that God gave you.
