Receive your gift!
John 1:11-13 (NKJV)
11 He (Jesus) came to His own, and His own did ot receive Him.
12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:
13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
+++++++++++++++++++++
As a whole, Jesus' own people rejected Him when He came. But some believed in Him and became children of God when they received Him as their Messiah/Savior. It is the same today. The world as a whole continues to reject Him, but those who receive Him, receive forgiveness and a place in the family of God.
Salvation is available to all, but only experienced by those who receive the gift of life through faith in Him.
Have you received this gift??
