So, once we do hear the Voice of His Spirit calling in our
lives, and accept the Sacrifice of His dear Son as Atonement
for our sins, as I mentioned earlier, we become spiritually
adopted into the Heavenly Family; and in fact, into the
Royal Household of God Himself. We become His adopted sons
and daughters. Consider these additional verses:

"But as many as received him, to them gave he power TO
BECOME THE SONS of God, even to them that believe on his
name:"
John 1:12, KJV

"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. The Spirit itself beareth witness with
our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if
children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with
Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be
also glorified together."
Romans 8:15-17, KJV

"For ye are all the CHILDREN OF GOD BY FAITH IN CHRIST
JESUS."
Galatians 3:26, KJV

"Having predestinated us unto THE ADOPTION OF CHILDREN by
Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of
his will,"
Ephesians 1:5, KJV

"Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but
FELLOWCITIZENS with the saints, and OF THE HOUSEHOLD OF
GOD;"
Ephesians 2:19, KJV

So as you can plainly see, since before the world began,
God the Father has set into motion His special "Salvage And
Adoption Plan". If you would like to read more about this,
please see such articles as my series "Is Jesus The Only
Begotten Son Of God?". Allow me to remind you again that
this Plan is most certainly not limited to just one race of
people, as the Rastafarians would have you to believe. Jesus
Christ died for the sins of all men everywhere; and whoever
teaches contrary to this, is a liar and a deceiver. Do not
fall for such lies and trickery! We were duly warned of such
wayward doctrines by the writers of the New Testament many
years ago, as we see by these verses:

"That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro,
and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the
sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in
wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up
into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:"
Ephesians 4:14-15, KJV

"Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For
it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace;
not with meats, which have not profited them that have been
occupied therein."
Hebrews 13:9, KJV

"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times
some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing
spirits, and doctrines of devils;"
1 Timothy 4:1, KJV

"For the time will come when they will not endure sound
doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to
themselves teachers, having itching ears;"
2 Timothy 4:3, KJV

Please go to part two for the conclusion of this article.

Your Invitation To Salvation, The Broad Road To Destruction,
Fiery Fate Of The Unbelievers, Wrath Of God, Closing Remarks



So what about you dear reader? If you have not yet received
Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, will you be wise
enough to do so when He comes knocking at your heart's door?
Might He even be doing so now as you read this article? As
Jesus Himself tells us in the third chapter of the Book of
Revelation:

"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my
voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will
sup with him, and he with me."
Revelation 3:20, KJV

If you symbolically open the door of your heart and life to
Christ, He promises that you will receive forgiveness for
your sins, and He will grant you Eternal Life, precisely
as He states here:

"And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never
perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand."
John 10:28, KJV

As it is also written in the Book of Acts:

". . . Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be
saved . . ."
Acts 16:31b, KJV
