“He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name” John 1:11-12 (NASB). As we receive the Son, we are received as the children of God. He came that the human family might fully become God’s family. The Son and the Spirit are drawing us to this universal family. Share the embrace!
“Through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father. So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household” Ephesians 2:18-19 (NASB).
