Many people have a watershed Bible verse. Mine is John 1:12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God. It dawned on me one afternoon that though I was nominally "religious", I had never personally received Him; never believed in His name. Shocker! I thought I was born into religion. OOPS.
Perhaps you too have a salvation verse, that God won't let you let go of. If not, consider mine. But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the rightto become children of God.
