Behold What Manner of Love

1 John 3:1

"Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not." What an amazing love God shows us. We were sinners and lost to God. We had turned our backs on God and rejected Him. Yet, He freely sent His Son to die for us so that we could be saved and be called His sons. Because of that, the world doesn't know us or love us. They work against us and try to make us return to our old, sinful ways, but God gives us the grace to remain strong and resist those temptations.

 
 

Lord, thank You for saving us. Thank You for calling us Your sons. Help me to remember that the world will not love a child of God. Help me to faithfully live for you and not be ashamed of You.
