John reminds his readers to abide in Christ and to know him. And in knowing the truth about Jesus you will know the truth about God. "See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are." 1 John 3:1 This all starts with the love of God. If you're struggling with your identity, this verse is for you. Take a stand on this verse. The love of the Father has made you a child of God. As a child of God you will be filled with assurance, gratefulness, and thankfulness.
