Passage: John 1:12-13 (John 3:3-7); 1 John 3:1, 16; 4:7-10; 17:26 (Romans 5:5, 8)

Summary:

Anyone born again by God’s Spirit is a child of God. God is love and has expressed his love for us in Jesus Christ which is poured out into our hearts by His Spirit. If we are born again by God who is love, we are the beloved of God – we are dearly loved as the Father loves Jesus the Son. Because of Jesus Christ and in him we have a new identity as God’s beloved Children who do not need to look elsewhere to find loving acceptance. We have the fullness of it in Christ. Knowing His love for us is prerequisite to us growing in our love for others.

We must first receive love before we can give love.
