1 John

-When we understand eternal life/eternally dwelling with God (not because of what we have done but because of what Christ did), a life filled with the glory of God, no sickness, sadness, etc, only continual worship of the Holy God.

That understanding inspires us to live for Christ now.

-The Jews did not speak of God in this type of personal fashion.

-Christians can speak to God in with the personal term because He has adopted believers as his sons and daughters

12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
