He Gave the Authority

We know that we’re the children of God. If you have doubt about it, just be sure that you’re His child right at the moment you receive Him in your heart as your Savior.
For His children, He gave the authority--- which means power, privilege, and right to become the children of God. It’s our duty to trust in Him. It’s our duty to keep our faith in Him no matter how hard the present condition might be.

Just remember He gave the authority to be His children. His power will be with us. He will give us the power to carry on, the strength to go on, in this life.

But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name—
