But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who 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
This is an amsome thought. If we receive Christ and believe on His name we have the right to become children of God. Not of blood, meaning we can't be born into God's family just because our parents were Christians. Nor of the will of flesh meaning not by our own works or our own wants. Nor of the will of men meaning just because someone cares for you and desires for you to become God's child they can not make it happen. But of God meaning it is only by the power of God drawing you to His Son by the pwer of the Holy Spirit that you may become a child of God. This should put to rest anyone's fear of losing salvation as it is by God's power that we become His child and not anything we can do or not do to have it. And once we have it by God's power we can not lose it by anything we might do. Praise God for His indescrible love for you and me.
