OUR FATHER WHO LOVES US LAVISHLY AND HAS MADE US HIS CHILDREN

The book of 1 John chapter 3 verses 1 - 2 says this;

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 

How great is the Father's love for us that he qualified us to be His own children and how great an honor it is for us to be called His children.

So astonishing is our transmorgrification from what we were before into the image of the Lord Jesus, we become members of a different species altogether such that we become unrecognisable to the people in the world.

As the Apostle John says in verse 2, our final state as individual children of God has not yet been revealed but a time will come when we will discover that we have become like Him because at that time, we will  know what we have become and we will also be able to see Him as He really is and we will see that we have become like Christ.

A privilege beyond words.

Amen.
