A Love Which Knows No Bounds
1 John is all about having an authentic relationship with God. God knows all about us. EVERYTHING about us. The amazing thing is that he still loves us! 1 John 3:1 KJV states, "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God..."
To behold means to look, see, perceive, and understand. We need to be fully aware of the Father's love for us. If we have repented and put our trust in Jesus for salvation, God calls us his child. He calls us to understand His tremendous love for us.
Ephesians 3:18-19 describes that love. A love that is immeasurable. Paul says, "that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height - to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God".
We can't define God's love, but we can behold, experience, and rely on it. ~ Beth Moore
