#.
See what kind of love
#.
The Father has given to us
i.
That we should be called children of God
1.
And so we are
ii.
The reason why the world does not know us
1.
Is that it did not know Him
#.
Beloved
#.
We are God’s children now
i.
And what we will be has not yet appeared
ii.
But we know that when He appears
1.
We shall be like Him
a. Because
i.
We shall see Him as He is
2. And everyone
a. Who thus hopes in Him
i.
Purifies himself
1.
As He is pure
1.
God’s love to us is great
2. The world does not know God
3. We are God’s Children NOW
4. When He appears we shall be like Him because we will see Him as He is
5. Everyone who hopes in God purifies himself
#.
God’s love to us is great
#. “See what kind of love the father has given us.”
i.
See what, behold, or better yet, “just take a look at this love”
Have you ever seen two guys standing on a sidewalk and a perfectly restored and customized car from their youth drives by?
One at least will make an exclamation, point and begin to note the cool points of the car.
Just take a look at that!
It is amazing to think about the things that we can get all worked up over.
The love of God is worthy of a greater attention from us than that!
As we think about “the kind of love the Father has given us, we may see that,
1.
It is a glorious and sublime love
a. God’s love should amaze us
i.
A glorious thing is something to behold that does not get old or commonplace, we never tire of looking at it.
b. Sublime
i.
Elevated, high, pure
2. It is a love of quality and quantity
a.
A love that was extended to us when we were still sinners, and will continue throughout eternity a love that was poured into our hearts … amazingly full, comprehensive and complete, a perfect love!
b.
A love that sent God’s son to pay the price for our sin.
c. Amazing, the love of God!
3. When we see this love properly we sink down in adoration before it.
a.
We need to comprehend this love
i.
It is to be considered, dwelt upon and contemplated
ii.
It should become a part of our mental life, to see what kind of love, the Father has given us.
1.
We have busy minds, it is amazing the amount of information we process in a day or even in an hour.
How much brainpower do we have dedicated to viewing the love of God that we might fully and properly adore God?
2. Do we have a few brain cycles that we could use in the pursuit of God rather than the pursuit of sin?
b.
We need to respond to this love of God.
i.
It is not a ho hum run of the mill kind of thing.
It should excite every part of our being.
Do you remember being so thoroughly in love that you wanted to even just catch a glimpse of the one you loved?
And then get closer?
We need to have that kind of desire for God and so respond to the love that he has given to us.
ii.
We need to revere the one who gives us this love.
iii.
We need to live in the light of this love.
4. In this fellowship all is one-sided
a. God gives, we only receive in gratitude.
Great is the love of God to us!
#.
The world does not know God
#.
We are told, “The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know Him.”
i.
“The world has only fictional, false conceptions regarding our Father and regarding us, His children.”
ii.
This also means that we are identifiable as children of God.
It is because of identification with God that we are not known.
1. Understand that there is a family of sinners and that sinners love company.
a.
They are happy to draw others into sin and to prompt each other on to greater acts of disobedience and debauchery.
(They would not call it that, they would say that they are being open, that they are being sophisticated, that they are being modern)
b.
There is an identity that is part of the fraternity of sin, if you have it you are in, if it is missing you are out, nothing else matters.
(Talk about being open minded)
iii.
We need to understand how the world works.
1.
This is God instructing us and as it were calling us to remember other things he has said.
