Trust and obey (3)

"He came to his own people, and even they rejected him. But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. They are reborn — not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God."

~ John 1.11-13 NLT

Are we - Christians - "his own people"? Can we "reject" him also?

The prerequisites "to become children of God" are to "believe him and accept him". If I believe him and accept his Lordship over me, then I will obey what he says.
