To Them Gave He Power

As many as received him, to them gave he power! For those who believe on Jesus, trusting Him for salvation, God has given that person the power to be the son or daughter of God! What a great privilege to be accepted so lovingly into God’s family, and then to be given the opportunity to be a witness of the Light that is Jesus to a world in darkness. John the Baptist was sent from God to be a witness of the coming Jesus, and Christians today are sent out by God to be a witness of the return of Jesus and the current work of Jesus. Let’s be about our Father’s business.

John 1:6-13

6. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

7. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

8. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

9. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

10. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

11. He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

12. 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:

13. Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
