DAY 030Who You Are in Christ · Jan 30, 2026
Children of God
“But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.”
JOHN 1:12 · ESV
1.
RECEIVED, NOT EARNED
The verse turns on one word: receive. Becoming God's child starts with open hands, not a polished résumé.
2.
A RIGHT, NOT A MOOD
He gave the right to become children. Adoption is a standing God grants, not a feeling you chase.
3.
FROM CREATURE TO CHILD
Everyone is God's creation; not everyone lives as His child. Faith in Jesus moves you from the crowd into the family.
4.
CHILD BEFORE SERVANT
You are a son or daughter before you are a worker. What you do flows from whose you are.
5.
A CHILD'S ACCESS
Children don't make appointments with their father. In Christ, the door to God stands open to you all day.
6.
BEGIN WITH 'FATHER'
Act: before breakfast, open your first prayer of the day with the word 'Father,' and thank Him out loud for adopting you.
