But some people did accept him. They believed in him, and he gave them the right to become children of God. They became God’s children, but not in the way babies are usually born. It was not because of any human desire or plan. They were born from God himself. The Word became a man and lived among us. We saw his divine greatness, the greatness that belongs to the only Son of the Father. The Word was full of grace and truth. John 1:12-14 ERV: When we receive Jesus and believe in his name, we are given the right to become children of God. This is not about earning status but about entering a new family by faith. The Word became flesh and lived among us, showing God’s glory in humility and truth. Let that sink in: God didn’t stay distant, he came near, took on our weakness, and opened the way for us to belong. If you’re feeling unseen or unworthy today, remember that your identity is rooted in being loved and adopted by God, not in performance or approval.
