We Are Called Children of God

“See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are.” (1 John 3:1)

His love makes us His children

There are many different definitions of love in the world, but the kind of love God has for us is completely different from all of them. God’s love doesn’t just feel something toward us—it does something for us.

His love made a way, through Jesus, for us to be called His children. Think about that for a moment. Not just forgiven. Not just tolerated. Not just accepted. But adopted into His family.

How amazing is that?

Yes, it truly is amazing!

Therefore

Live today with the confidence and gratitude of someone who knows they are deeply loved, fully accepted, and truly a child of God.

“Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” (John 1:12)
