 We become children of God by being born of God. Our earthly fathers gave us physical life. God becomes our heavenly father when he gives us spiritual life. And that comes through you coming to Jesus, trusting in him as the one who sacrificed himself for your sins, rose from the dead to give you the hope of eternal life. Let's go ahead and pray to Jesus and thank him for what he's done for us in closing. Dear Lord Jesus, I thank you, Lord Jesus, for dying on that cross to pay my penalty.
