Knowing God In 1 John 3/4

Son of God & His Seed (Oct 6)

Apostle John desires his spiritual
children enjoy close fellowship with
God and writes telling them how.
God is Light and therefore to
engage in fellowship with Him
means walking in the light of
His commandments. God is Love,
and thus His children must walk
in love. God is Life, and those
who desire fellowship with Him
must possess the spiritual life,
which begins with spiritual birth.

Lord, we’ll Respond to Your Love:
See what great love the Father
had lavished on us, that we
should be called children of
God! And that is what we are!
What we will be had not been
made known. But we know that
when Christ appears, we shall
be like him, for we shall see
Him as He is (1 John 3:1-2).
Beloved, let us love one another,
for love is of God… He who does
not love does not know God, for
God is love… God has sent His
only… Son into the world, that
we might live thru Him (1Jn4:7-9)
God is love and all who live in love
live in God, and God lives in them.
And as we live in God, our love
grows more perfect… Such love
has No Fear because perfect
love expels all fear (1Jn4:16-18).

Dear Abba Father, thank You
for loving us so much that You
call us & made us Your children.
I know that You greatly cares
for us and the various challenges
that we may face. And I humbly
come to You with all my needs.
Thank You for having Your arms
open to me, and for drawing me
near to You so that I can rest
in Your loving kindness. Amen.

Lord, I know I will be like You
when I appear before You God
and see You as You really are.
But as I come to Your Presence
here now on earth, let me Lord
see You more clearly and be
transformed to be more like You.
Help me Lord to live out my true
identity as Your child; and help me
live for You as I await that day. Amen.

Lord, thank You for first loving me.
As we live in You, our love grows
more complete. Although I don’t
understand all the trials I may go
through, I trust in Your love for me.
Help me to abide in You. Fill me
with Your perfect love that casts
out all fear so that I can live in
Confidence and rest in You and
then share Your amazing love
with those around me. Amen.
