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.'
'See!' It's not a request — it's an exclamation. John can't get over what he's saying.
'What kind of love.' The Greek implies a love unlike any other — foreign, surprising, unprecedented.
'That we should be called children of God.' Not employees. Not servants. Children. With all the access, security, and identity that name carries.
'And so we are.' John won't let you say it's just a metaphor. You actually are. The name reflects the reality.
