When the time came that God was ready to reconcile the world to him, he sent his only son into this world. His son (Jesus) went about teaching and doing good (Acts1:1). There were some who received him but the great masses of people rejected him, scorned him, falsely accused him and treated him in a shameful manner. Then one day he was led from Gethsemane to be tried, condemned and crucified. The tomb could not hold him, he arose from the grave to live forevermore as our mediator and redeemer (Heb. 7:25, 1 Tim. 2:5). Because he lives, we can face tomorrow with no fear.
What an honor, what a blessing it is to be a child of God. Listen to John as he says, “Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us that we should be called the sons of God”. Be impressed because this blessing, this honor did not come without a tremendous cost being attached to it. First, God gave his son (John 3:16). Secondly, Jesus gave his life Rom. 5:8. Thirdly, the church was purchased with the blood of Christ (Acts 20:28, Eph. 5:25).
I sometimes wonder what manner of love do we show to the Father and Son? How deep, how high, how wide is our love for them? Do we love God and his Son so much that they come first in our lives (Mark 12:30, Matt. 6:33)? Does our love for them come before family or friends (Matt. 10:37)? Does our love for them come before possessions and material things (Matt. 6:19-21, 1 John 2:15-17, Col. 3:1-2)? Are we still in many respects babes in Christ when we should be full grown (Heb. 5:12-14, 1 Pet. 2:2, 2 Pet. 3:18)?

Do we stand fast in the faith? How far does our love extend toward God, the church, our homes, each other and our fellowman? What are we doing as a child of God? Is our light shining before men? Are we like a candle or a great floodlight?
We may say that we love God. We may say that we love Jesus. But words spoken are insufficient. We show our love through the measure of commitment we make to them. I just have to wonder, is our commitment to them such that they are impressed with our love for them.
