Called the sons of God

1Jn 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.


Sons of God.

We have various organizations that people consider themselves sons and daughters of, and yet they have no blood tie to anyone.

The aspect of begin a son or daughter is more than our blood relation.

We have children adopted by parents without any blood ties.

Being a son of someone is MORE than just blood.

When a person willingly adopts a child they do so with the intention of raising that child as their own. For all intents and purposes by law they are responsible to do just that- raise the child as their own, they've taken over ownership of that child. The child will not be free of that ownership by law- ever, unless they willingly choose to emancipate themselves from their adopted parents when they are of age.

Just as a birth child at 18 and/or 21 is considered responsible for themselves, an adopted child is the same.

However, any child remains the child of their parents forever, they just become adult children.

Called the sons of God.

Adam was created by God, in God's image.

Jesus was God with God, chosen to be the Son of God when He took on human flesh. The Father God took on His role as the Father as Jesus took on the role of the Son. We become sons of God when we take on the role of repenting, of one seeking to be forgiven, as one who is BORN AGAIN into a spiritual life with Christ, through Christ our Savior.

These are all chosen acts, nothing forced upon anyone, but a willing acceptance, a willing decision that is made.

1Jn 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.

It's through LOVE that is given to US by the Father we are given the Son's love.

The WORLD will not KNOW those who are God's sons, why? Because they do not KNOW GOD.

How do we know if we know God- we keep His commandments.

The world does NOT keep God's commandments, and they do NOT know God.

We love God, we keep His commandments, He calls us His sons and the world will NOT know us, will not love us, will not have anything to do with us just as it has nothing to do with God- IN TRUTH.

There will be a lot of false love, a claim to love without any real love at all.

By the grace of God may WE know God and be known of Him as His sons.

Please LORD, know us, love us.

All through Christ Jesus our Savior.
