What Manner of Love

The wonderful plan of salvation begins with the love of God.
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.
We are God's children! We don't expect the world to understand this thrilling relationship because the world doesn't understand God.
God's love for us doesn't stop with the new birth. It continues throughout our lives and takes us right up to the return of Jesus Christ.
When our Lord appears, all true believers will see Him and will become like Him. This means, of course, that they will have new, glorified bodies, suited for heaven.
1 John 3:2  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.
