THE POWER TO BECOME SONS OF GOD
John 1:10-13
Verses 10-13 say, “He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew
him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 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: Which
were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”
John says “He was in the world.” The verb “he was” is an imperfect tense referring to continuous
action in the past. John did not use the aorist tense and gather up the whole history of his Lord’s
stay on earth in a point of time. He used the imperfect tense suggesting the continuous exposure
of Jesus to the world over the period of His life and ministry. John adds, “and the world was
made by him.” The Creator was in human flesh. The natural man never accepts the teaching of
the Scriptures when they present truth like this. It gave the lost religious leaders of Jesus day a
problem and it gives unsaved men the same problem today. One of the identifying marks of a
cult is that they do not believe in the deity of Christ. Several will argue with you that they do.
But they do not believe that Jesus is God incarnate in the flesh. They deceive by the use of their
own private definitions to the old terms. This way they can say, “We believe in the virgin birth.”
But they do not believe what true Christians believe when they say the same.
The Athanasian creed says, “Furthermore it is necessary to everlasting salvation: that he also
believe rightly [faithfully] in the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ. For the right Faith is, that
we believe and confess: that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and Man; God, of the
Substance [essence] of the Father; begotten before the worlds: and Man, of the Substance
[essence] of his Mother, born in the world. Perfect God: and perfect Man, of a reasonable soul
and human flesh subsisting. Equal to the Father, as touching his Godhead: and inferior to the
Father as touching his Manhood. Who although he be [is] God and Man; yet he is not two, but
one Christ. One; not by conversion of the Godhead into flesh: but by taking [assumption] of the
Manhood into God. One altogether; not by confusion of Substance [essence]: but by unity of
Person. For as the reasonable soul and flesh is one man: for God and Man is one Christ.”
Man wants to believe in a god that is subject to his rational thought. A god of this kind is not god
at all.
Then John adds, “and the world knew him not.” The word “knew” (ginosko) according to the
Linguistic Key means, “to know, to recognize, more than intellectual knowledge, rather ‘to be in
right relation.’” This is a revelation of the spiritual bankruptcy of mankind. Think about the
event of his birth and the things he did during his ministry that only God could do. Yet they did
not recognize him. I have a problem that will illustrate. I will be looking for a book in my library
and as I look for it on the shelves, it will be right before my eyes and I will not see it. Jesus was
right before their eyes and to them he was just another man. This will give you a little glimpse of
that to which the eternal Logos humbled himself.
Next John says, “He came unto his own, and his own received him not.” The words “He came”
(erchomai) means “to come from one place to another, and used bot
