God tells us in the Bible in John 1:12: “To all who received Lord Jesus, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God. ”That includes you and me when we accept Lord Jesus as our Savior and get God’s forgiveness!  God wipes out our sins.  He makes us clean and accepts us as His children!

Now He welcomes us with open arms as we run to Him calling “Abba! My Father!”  He is delighted when we go to Him and talk to him and tell Him that we love Him. What joy to become part of God’s family and to have God Himself as our Heavenly Father!  We have been ‘born again’ into God’s family! God tells us in the Bible in John 3:16: “ For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but will have eternal life.”

”Prayer: “Dear Heavenly Father, I’m so grateful that I am Your child. Thank You for Your amazing love for me in sending Your Son to save me.” 

Now, all of us humans, are born with a desire to sin because our first parents sinned. We do wrong things and sin against God all the time. Sin and its results are terrible, as we see in our world today. These dark sins separate us from our most Holy and pure God. We cannot go near Him. God tells us in the Bible: “All have sinned and fall short of God’s glorious standard.”

Prayer: “Lord God, I’m so sorry I have sinned against you.  Please forgive me.  I do not want my sins to separate me from You. Please help me not to sin.”
