Now a Child of God 6/3 Friday Faith

When the sinner stops his rebellion and repents, God gives him faith to accept Christ. God gives him power to become a son of God who is born not of man or of the will of men, nor of flesh and blood, but by the power of God. (See John 1:12-13.) He is then no longer a rebel but a son, for he has received the gift of God and has been born of the spiritual family of God. His name has been written in the family record by the finger of God and it has been said, "This man was born in Zion." (See Psalm 87:5.) The finished work on Calvary atones for his sin and uncleanness, and he is now a child of God... -- Maria Woodworth-Etter
