Who Gave Birth? How does one become a child of God? Is there only one way? In
the religions of Rome and Greece, there were many gods. Today it is common for people to say that there are
many ways to God. But that is not true. But just in case someone thinks that one can become a child of God
by different ways, John says this,
. . . who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. (NASB) John 1:13 One cannot become a child of God by ‘blood,” that is, by physical birth. A man or woman cannot
inherit this relationship through mother, father, brother, or sister. One cannot become a child of God
through the will of the flesh or sexual activity. It was common in the Roman and Greek religions to have sex
with others in an attempt to meet the gods through sexual ecstasy. Nor can one become a child of God by self-effort.
Only God can give a man or woman the authority and right to become a spiritual child. It is all about God.
Conclusion. What an incredible opening! The LOGOS is self-existing. It is a
concept that we do not understand. It is the mark of God. The LOGOS is the true and great Light. He is truth
and can enlighten every man. The LOGOS is Life which came to us in human form and is a person who has a name.
The LOGOS was rejected by many and accepted by a few. He is life, light, and the Word of God. This God, we
will soon discover in John 1:14-18 is Jesus Christ.
The LOGOS is the only God that exists, and no one can become a child of God except on His terms
and conditions. Is it not amazing that the LOGOS decided to come to this earth? It was His choice. Why did
He, as the Light, decide to come to us who were in darkness? The answer is simple. He wanted to. He loves
us!
So what is our response? We should make the “Light choice” and believe in the LOGOS
- Jesus Christ. C. H. Spurgeon wrote this,
I have stood by a great many death-beds; but there is one scene I never saw; and never expect to see, that is a child of God repenting that ever loved Jesus Christ. - Charles Spurgeon
