In this week’s sermon, entitled “The Family of God,” we heard about the wonderful expression of God’s love found in 1 John 3:1-3. How do we embrace and respond to the love of our heavenly father? Let us start by asking these questions:
- We read in 1 John, “See what kind
of love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God.” How does this expression of God’s love magnify or clarify the grace you have found through the gospel? - What can we learn from first comparing and then contrasting a child being adopted by a family and us being adopted by God?
- How does Ephesians 2:1-10 help you to understand your adoption by God? Consider particular aspects of you life and testimony.
- We heard that “God’s people are not set into a meeting but into a family.” How should the reality of our adoption affect the way that we live before God and with others?
As we consider these things, may we be freshly amazed by the kind of love that our heavenly Father has lavished upon us!
