  • Receiving Christ and becoming Children of God
    Dec 28 2024

    This episode explores the profound truth found in John 1:11–13: "He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 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: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." It focuses on the Greek word παραλαμβάνω (paralambanō), meaning “to accept,” “to take hold of,” or “to welcome,” emphasizing the intentional act of receiving Christ in faith.

    The message contrasts Jesus’ unique and essential sonship as the “Son of God” (υἱὸς θεοῦ) with the adoptive sonship of believers, who become “children of God” (τέκνα θεοῦ) through faith. It explains that this transformation into God’s family is not a natural process based on ancestry, human desire, or initiative, but a divine act of grace (ἐκ θεοῦ).

    The episode challenges viewers to reflect on their own response to Christ, emphasizing the transformative power of receiving Him as Savior and Lord.
