See how
great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of
God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us,
because it did not know Him.
1 John 3:1 New American Standard
Bible (NASB)
Not only did God sacrifice
His Son to forgive our sin, not only did He die to give us life, but He has
also adopted those who accept His sacrifice as His own children. He was willing
to forgive enemies who hated Him (that’s all of us before we are saved) and
then adopt them into His family. How deep the Father’s love! He took us from
our sinful, hopeless condition and cleansed us, healed us, forgave us, and made
us His family. He gave up everything in order to give us everything. He took us
out of the world to make us godly. That is why we encounter opposition from the
world, because we are no longer of the world. We really are aliens. We are not
of this world, we don’t belong here, and we are not like those who do. Take
heart, when you gave up your citizenship here on earth you gained eternal
citizenship in glory with the greatest Father who ever loved you!
