"...to them gave he power to become the sons of God." The power he is talking about is the authority, or the right, to become sons of God. Who has the right to be a child of God? The answer is in the same verse: "As many as received him, to THEM gave he power....to as many as believed on his name." To receive Jesus Christ is to yield to him as Lord and Savior. To believe on his name is to trust and yield to who He really is. He is Almighty God, all power is given to him in heaven and earth, the Father hath committed all judgement into his hand. Anything less is not receiving him, and the right to be a child of God depends upon it. We cannot call him Father until we have yielded all right to ourselves to him.
