TOPIC: BEHOLD THE DEGREE OF LOVE

TEXT: 1 John 3:1

[1]Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

It is possible to see something and yet you don't have an understanding of the object, there are times when our mind is not even cooperating with our sight, although we are seeing but we are not taking note of what we are seeing, therefore we do not have an understanding of what we're seeing. For a better understanding, there's a need to look and our mind too looking, by that we can meditate and interpret what we have seen. 

From the text above, the scripture is giving us an instruction, the instruction is pointing us to take a deliberate look at the level of of love that God has bestowed upon us, and this love even make us to be qualified to be called "GOD'S CHILDREN". The understandin from this would then open us to the reason the world would hate us because they don't understand what we have seen. When we fix our gaze on God's love, we become more resolute in our devotion to God.

Have you ever considered the depth of God's love over you? Do you really understand what it takes to be called a child of God? Remember John 1:12 says being called a child of God is a product of receiving power. Behold the degree of God's love over your life this morning, meditate on how he died, think about how he permitted you to sit along with him in the heavenlies, and then open your heart to receiving the revelation about your worth and life in Christ.

THINK TANK: When you behold him you take hold of his face.

PRAYER: Father, help to understand your love over my life in Jesus Name.

 CONFESSION: I will look unto Christ for my formation because I'm a product of his unquantifiable love.
