CHILDREN OF GOD / 1 JOHN 3:1

(KJV) 1 John 3:1

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

The truth that God is our Father and we are His children is one of the greatest revelations in the New Testament.

1. Being a child of God – chosen and adopted through Christ as His very own – is among the highest honors and privileges of our salvation (John 1:12; Galatians 4:7).
2. Being a child of God is the basis for our faith and trust in God (Matthew 6:25-34) and our hope of glory for the future. As God’s children, we are heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, which means that we have part in His eternal inheritance (Romans 8:16-17; Galatians 4:7).
3. God wants us to become increasingly aware that we are His children. This awareness comes through the presence of the Holy Spirit – the “Spirit of sonship” (Romans 8:15) – within us. The Spirit allows us to call to God in a deep, personal and intimate way – “Abba, Father” (Galatians 4:6) – and He gives us the desire to be “led by the Spirit” (Romans 8:14). 
4. Being a child of God means that, at times, we will be disciplined by the Father (Hebrews 12:6-7, 11) so that we can grow in spiritual maturity (1 John 3:9; 4:17-19). God’s highest goal in making us His children is to save us forever (John 3:16) and to make us more like Jesus (Romans 8:29).
