John 1:12 "But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. 13 They are reborn—not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God.14 So the Word [Jesus] became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness..." NLT
Galatians 4:4 "But when the right time came, God
sent his Son, born of a woman, subject to the law. 5 God sent him to buy freedom
for us who were slaves to the law, so that he could adopt us as his very own
children. 6 And
because we are his children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our
hearts, prompting us to call out, 'Abba, Father.'" NLT
"Slaves to the law" means we were trying to earn our way to Heaven- an IMPOSSIBLE task. But God sent JESUS CHRIST to rescue us by dying in our place and earning Heaven for us. Now when we believe and accept Jesus we are ADOPTED- we are Children of God and we call our Heavenly Father, "Daddy".It's beautiful, isn't it? Anyone can be adopted into the family of God. No matter who we are. WE ALL CAN BE ADOPTED!!! And then we're all family :D
