John 1
12But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

Don't forget verse 13 which tells who those were who received him in verse 12. Those who received him were NOT born of the will of the flesh and NOT born of the will of man, but of God. Yet you believe that by your own will you sought out God and by your own will you repented and by your own will you placed your faith in God.
