John 1:12-13 (NLT2) 12 But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. 13 They are reborn—not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God.
A man can accept what Christ has done without knowing how it works; indeed he certainly won't know how it works until he's accepted it. -- C. S. Lewis (1898-1963)
