See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are! But the people who belong to this world don’t recognize that we are God’s children because they don’t know him--- 1 John 3:1 NLTAs believers, our self-worth is based on the fact that God loves us and calls us his children. We are his children now, not just sometime in the distant future. Knowing that we are his children should encourage us to live as Jesus did. For other references about being part of God’s family, see Romans 8:14-17; Galatians 3:26,27; 4:6,7.--- Life Application Study Bible notesPRAYERDear Heavenly Father,I am humbled by Your love and I am blessed that You call me Your child.Father, teach me how to love others the way that you love them.Thank you for keeping hate away from my heart.Show me to live a life of loving others.Teach me to show others Your love through my actions and not just my words.Help me to obey Your word and live my life accordingly.In Jesus’ name,Amen
