1 John 3:1-3 King James Version (KJV)
3 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.
2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet
appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear,
we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself,
even as he is pure.
1 John 3:1-3 New Life Version (NLV)
We Are God’s Children
3 See what great love the Father has for us that He would call
us His children. And that is what we are. For this reason the
people of the world do not know who we are because they did not
know Him. 2 Dear friends, we are God’s children now. But it has
not yet been shown to us what we are going to be. We know that
when He comes again, we will be like Him because we will see Him
as He is. 3 The person who is looking for this to happen will
keep himself pure because Christ is pure.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
1 To be called God’s children is something we don’t deserve but
is something He gives us when we become family thru Jesus. He is
there to guide, He is a great Father this does not mean He does
not let bad things happen to us but means He is there for us to
turn to when we seek Him, He often times does not let us fall
beyond where we can not get up, if we are His children. The
world does not know Him as Father and they live as such and
without knowing Him as Father then they can’t know His love.
2 We have the honor as His children to see Him in His fullness.
We get to see Him in all His glory, we don’t have to know Him as
a judge as the world does but as the loving Father who gives us
blessings that are heavenly.
3 We are to live in righteousness because Jesus is righteous. We
are not live as this world but as Christ would have us live.
