My question is,
Will you be my child?
My question is,
Will you be my child?
John 1:12-13
12 Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name,
he gave the right to become children of God
-13 children born not of natural descent,
nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.
(NIV Bible)

(NIV Bible)
We all have a decision to make in this life. Do we receive the gift of God's only Son or do we reject Him? It is our choice to make. Father is not willing that even one person should reject this precious gift, but He will never overpower our freedom of choice. He offers each one of us the ultimate expression of His love through the gift of His Son, Jesus Christ. This gift is freely given and it must be freely received.
The decision is ours to make. God the Father has done everything that He could possibly do to remove every obstacle that would prevent us from coming home. Jesus made sure of that by taking upon Himself the complete burden & penalty of our sin when He died on the cross of Calvary. There is nothing that can now prevent us from becoming a child of God…except our freedom of choice.
Being born of God is the most wonderful experience that can ever happen to a human being. It is the ultimate homecoming that we have all been created to experience and the fulfillment of our destiny…to be sons and daughters in our Father's glorious family.
Coming home to the Father's love is not complicated and could never be earned by our good works. The only way home is found in Jesus alone. He is our Lord and our Savior, and as our big brother, He has promised to take us by the hand and lead us to His Father.
If we will simply be willing to believe that Jesus is God's Son, and receive the gift of His life for our life, then instantly and miraculously, we are born into His amazing family. If you have never prayed a prayer to be born in God's wonderful family, perhaps today is your day to come home. The following prayer can help you express in words, your heart's cry to be completely and unconditionally loved and accepted by God the Father and His beloved Son, Jesus Christ.
PRAYER
Father, I want to be Your child! I thank You for sending Your Son Jesus to take my place on the cross and bear my sin, so that I could come home to Your love. I believe that Jesus Christ died for me and I gladly receive Him as my Lord and Savior. Thank You Jesus for being obedient to Your Father's will, by dying on the cross for me. I thank You for taking upon yourself my sin and my shame. I turn from my own way of living my life and I receive your life as my life. Come into my heart Lord Jesus, today I am coming home. AMEN.
