We Are Now
Beloved, we are God’s children now;
it does not yet appear what we shall be.
— 1 John 3:2
How is that we are God’s children now?
What have we done to earn that title?
Was it that good deed we did that nobody noticed?
Was it that thing we didn’t do when all our friends were?
This verse alone doesn’t answer that question, it just states a fact: we are God’s children now.
To discover/remember how that came to be, we have to back up two verses to the start of 1st John 3 —
See what great love the Father has lavished on us,
that we should be called children of God!
— 1st John 3:1
— Let’s live into that lavished and great love intentionally today, and I’ll see you back here tomorrow.
