“Great Love Bestowed”

Blessings folk!

How much does God love those who believe?

1 Jo 3:1

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.

The Love of God is great.
The Love of God is bestowed upon those who believe.
So great that we are called “children of God”.

Note it is for this reason that the world does not know us.
They are not of God because they do not believe.
They are of the world.
They do not know us because we are not of the world.

There is much more to this than might appear with a surface consideration and understanding.

1 Jo 3:2

Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be.
We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is.

When Jesus appears, we will be like Him.
Like Him?
John acknowledges that “it has not appeared as yet what we will be…”
We do know this.
We will be like Him.
We will see Him just as He is.

What does that mean?

Hang on…

It means that we will be “divine”.
The word used most often is “glorified”.
We will have a glorified body.
We will live forever.
We will be with Him.
We will have pressed on to Eden.
New heaven.
New earth.
God…
His creation…
Divine beings…
Human beings…
All together as He designed from the beginning.

Yeah!
