1 John 2:24-3:3

Behold what manner
of love the Father has
bestowed on us, that
we should be called
children of God!
__1 John 31

For years, Sarah had low-back pain that continued to worsen. Her doctor sent her for physical therapy, and she was given 25 stretches to do every day. The pain lessened but not completely. So the doctor ordered x-rays and sent her to another therapist, who instructed her to dis-continue the other therapist's stretches and do only one stretch a day as needed. surprisingly, the one simple stretch worked the best.
Sometimes the simplest truths are the best. When asked to summarize in one sentence his whole life's work in theology, Karl Barth responded: "Jesus loves me!: Some say he added, "This I know, for the Bible tells me so."
God's love for us is evident. he gave His Son to rescue us from ourselves. Christ died on the cross, taking our burden of sin. Then He rose again, giving us new life in Him. Amazing love! As John tells us: "Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!" ( John 3:1).
Jesus' love for us isn't a Band-Aid or a cure-all for all of life's problems, of course. But it is the one truth we can always depend on to give purpose to life and peace with God. __Anne Cetas

`````````````````Tells of His love in the Book He has given;``````````````````
`````````````````````Wonderful things in the Bible I see__```````````````````

The wonder of it all__
just to think that Jesus loves me.
****************************Today's Bible Reading __ 1 John 2:24-3:3*******************************
24 Therefore let that abide
in you which you heard
from the beginning. If what
you heard from the
beginning abides in you,
you also will abide in the
Son and in the Father.
25 And this is the promise
that He has promised us__
eternal life.
26 These tings I have
written to you concerning
those who try to deceive
you. 27 But the anointing
which you have received
from Him abides in you,
and you do not need that
anyone teach you; but as the
same annointing teaches you
concerning all things, and is
true, and is not a lie, and
just as it has taught you,
you will abide in Him.
28 And now, little children,
abide in Him, that when he
appears, we may have
confidence and not be
ashamed before Him at His
coming. 29 If you know that
He is righteous, you know
that everyone who practices
righteousness is born of
Him.
1 Behold what manner of
love the Father has
bestowed on us, that we
should be called children of
God! Therefore the world
does not know us, because
it did not know us, because
it did not know Him.
2 Beloved, now we are
children of God; and it has
not yet been revealed what
we shall be, but we know
that when He is revealed,
we shall be like Him, for
we shall see Him as He is.
3 And everyone who has this
hope in Him purifies
himself, just as He is pure.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>INSIGHT<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
One of the main themes of 1 John is found in these word: "But if
we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship with
one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from
all sin" (1:7).
