1 John 3. Day 196 - The New Testament in a Year

The Great Love of God.  Sin and the Children of God.  Love in Action

See what great love the Father has given us that we should be called God’s children—and we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it didn’t know him. - 1 John 3:1

Do you know how incredible it is to be called a child of God? In 1 John Chapter 3, we explore what it means to be loved by God so much that He invites us into His family. This chapter takes us on a journey of understanding the contrast between living in sin and living in righteousness. John challenges us to not only talk about love but to put it into action, showing that love through the way we treat others.

We’re reminded that our identity as God’s children shapes how we live today and prepares us for the hope of Christ's return. Together, we reflect on how God’s love transforms our hearts and leads us to pursue purity and righteousness. As we go deeper into this text, we uncover practical steps to live out our faith through obedience, love, and truth. Join us as we seek to grow in understanding what it truly means to be a child of God!
