the right to become children of God—children born not of natural descent,
nor of human decision or a husbandÕs will, but born of God.Ó– John 1:12-13
ÒPraise be to the God
and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!In his great mercy he has given us new birthÉ into an
inheritance that can never fadeÉÓ –1 Peter 1:3-4
