Love of the Father:

            Father’s love – we’re His children:

1 John 3:1
1 See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

            It is because of the Father’s love of us that He delights in calling us His child. It isn’t because of something we have done, or because He just can’t get along without us. It is because of His infinite love of us that He calls us His children.

            The parents of some children act like they don’t want them, but He loves us so much that He chose us to be His.

If you could hear God speak, I believe this is what He would say:

            "I do not call you servants, but rather children. You are of Me and My love flows in you. What you do for Me is done in My love. For this is My will for you that you show forth My love to one another and thus prove that you are My children.”

            12. See what love the Father has for me … I am His child!

Sons:

Galatians 3:26
26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

Romans 8:14
14 For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

Luke 20:35-36
35 but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage;
36 for they cannot even die anymore, because they are like angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

            God delights to call us His “sons”. Of course that term includes the ladies also. This shows us the three-fold aspect of being His sons. In Galatians we are sons through faith in Christ Jesus. When we exercise our faith in Him and are born again, we become God’s sons in our spirits. In Romans when we allow ourselves to be led by the Holy Spirit in our everyday lives, then we are His sons in our souls. One day in the future when Jesus returns and the dead are raised, then we will be His sons of the resurrection in our bodies.

If you could hear God speak, I believe this is what He would say:

            "You are Mine dear ones, and I have desired greatly that you be with Me for all eternity. You are not of those who shrink back from doing My will but are of those who walk after My desire for you. You are not Mine for just a season but for all eternity. For those who are Mine shall live forever in My love.”

            11. I am His child and one day I will be a son/daughter of the resurrection.
