Before God calls us to live differently, He reminds us who we are. In 1 John 3:1, John invites us to stop and behold the extraordinary love of the Father that has made us His children. We are not candidates, visitors, or believers on probation. In Christ, we are God’s children now.

In this devotion Pastor Kent explores why identity must come before responsibility and why holiness should flow from belonging rather than become an attempt to earn it.
