[The Glory Unveiled]
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: [ John 1:12 KJV ]
Gifts may be freely given, but whether or not they are received depends solely on the recipient. The saving power of Christ is available to the world but is accessible only to those who receive the Lordship of Christ. Our faith in the Son of God is the system that gives us access to the life of God in Him. And because this faith must be rooted in Christ, only those who have heard and believed in the Son can possess it. Receiving Him means believing in His name and His authority. The power of sonship, which grants access to the family of God, does not automatically come because we go to church or engage in religious activities. The privilege of sonship is given when we believe in Christ as the fullness of God with whom we can have a relationship. However, all this is impossible without faith. Faith is the means by which the life of God in Christ is imputed to humanity. The power that makes us joint heirs with Christ does not discriminate between people. Whoever we are, and whatever tribe or group we belong to, if we come to believe in Jesus, the power of sonship extends the privilege of belonging to God. We become identified in Christ as members of His body. We receive the gift of God by believing in Christ. This gift is Jesus, the only begotten of the Father. Do you believe in His name? Do you believe in His authority and power?
