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: And of HIS Fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven. Every good Gift and every perfect Gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights. But the Wisdom that is from above is First Pure. He that hath received His testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. I am come in My Father’s name, and ye receive ME not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. Every one that is of the Truth heareth My Voice. How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?
Then they willingly received HIM into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went. But this spake HE of the Spirit, which they that believe on HIM should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified. He answered and said, A man that is called JESUS made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight. He that rejecteth ME, and receiveth not MY words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. And when JESUS had said this, HE breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost.
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. To Him give all the prophets witness, that through His name whosoever believeth in HIM shall receive remission of sins. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by Faith that is in me.
And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by Whom we have now received THE ATONEMENT. For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of Grace and of the Gift of Righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ. 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.
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it? Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received MERCY, we faint not.
This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of Faith? That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through Faith. To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in HIM.
For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe. And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
Be Wise: Stop putting off and rejecting the Lord Jesus Christ, and turning your back on Him. If you're not careful Sinner, you're going to wind up in Hell where you belong, burning forever in your highly flammable Sins. Believe on JESUS' Name Now; Freely Receive JESUS, His WORDS, His RIGHTEOUSNESS, His MERCY, His ATONEMENT, His GRACE, His SPIRIT, His KINGdom, His FULNESS into your Soul's Emptiness Now. For every one that asketh RECEIVETH. A poor man has to Receive.
