But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God—children born not of blood, nor of the desire or will of man, but born of God. (John 1:12-13)

When a person receives Jesus and believes in His name, they are given the right to become children of God. This new birth is not based on human effort but on the grace and power of God. Remember, you are not defined by your past, but by the Father who has adopted you through Christ. ~ Jeff M Newman

Observe Jesus’ Commands

Be a servant of all.

Matthew 20:25-28 But Jesus called them aside and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their superiors exercise authority over them. 26 It shall not be this way among you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 27 and whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave— 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.” (Mark 10:41-45, Luke 22:24-27)

Mark 9:35 Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be the last of all and the servant of all.”

Mark 10:45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”
