1 John: You are a child of God
null
God’s love is awesome. Words cannot describe how great God’s love is. It is a love that is out of this world and nothing we know comes close to His love. And this love adopts us into God’s family. Through Jesus’s awesome love, His sacrifice, we are given the right to become children of God!
When we accept Jesus, God changes our identity and status. Where once we were lost, now we have a home and family. We are new creations, born again as children of God. This change in identity affects the way we live. It affects the way we think. No longer does sin reign in our lives - now we have God’s Spirit to help guide us.
1 John 3:1-10
Quote “The love of God is the answer to all the “whys” in the Bible: the why of creation, the why of the incarnation, the why of redemption. If the written word of the Bible could be changed into a spoken word and become one single voice, this voice more powerful than the roaring of the sea would cry out: “the Father loves you!” Cardinal Raniero Cantalamessa
“Sin is an attitude before it is a behaviour, the latter being an expression of the former….at its roots, sin is essentially antagonism to God that refuses to acknowledge His sovereignty” Asbury Bible Commentary
