Household of God: Prevailing Church In A Perplexing World - 06 - The Family Resemblance - 1 John 3:1

Pastor Bill Warner

1 John – Purpose

1. To receive the saving message of Christ’s coming

2. To rejoice in the commands of Christ’s teaching

3. To revel in the love of the Father which transforms his children’s love for one another and the world

1 John 3:1 “See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are.”

1. “ See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are.” 2. “See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are.” 3. “See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are.” 4. “See what kind of love the Father has given to us , that we should be called children of God; and so we are.” 5. “See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God ; and so we are.” There Are 3 Persons Who Legitimize The Reality Of Our Family Resemblance.

1. The Father/Spirit (Romans 8:14-17)

2. The Son (Hebrews 2:11-12)

3. “See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are ”—the “Household of God: The Prevailing Church in a Perplexing World.”
