John 14:6 (KJV)
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
A missionary in Central America once preached on the subject of universal brotherhood. At the close of his address, two professors from the local school said that they thought they had found a flaw in his reasoning. Were not all individuals of the human race descendants from Adam and Eve? And did not create Adam and Eve? And therefore, were not all individuals thereby the children of God? The missionary pointed to the benches in the room and asked, "Who made these benches?"
The men replied that they had been made by the local carpenter.
"And do you therefore, call these benches the carpenter's children?" He asked.
"Of course not," they answered. "They are not the carpenter's children because they do not have in them the life of the carpenter."
"And do you have the life od God in you?" was the searching question that revealed the reality of man's departure from God. No one can be called a child of God, if he does not have within him the life of God.
