GOD LONGS TO BE OUR FATHER

HOW DOES ONE BECOME A CHILD OF GOD?

John 1:11-12 - Jesus "...came unto His own, and His own received Him not.  But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the (children) of God, even to them that believe on His name."
John 3:3, 5-6, 16 - Jesus said unto Nicodemus, "...Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God....I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.  That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit....For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
Romans 8:14-15 - "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the (children) of God.  For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father."
1 John 3:1-2 - "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the (children) of God....Beloved, now are we the (children) of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be:  but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is.

JESUS DIED FOR OUR SINS AND GOD RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD!
