First John, Chapter 3, Verses 1 through 3 (The Message Version)

What wonderful love our Creator has lavished upon us! Look at it! We are called children of God! That is truly what we are. Yet that is also why the world does not recognize us or take us seriously, for it has no idea who God is or what God is doing. Nevertheless, friends, that is exactly what we are: children of God. And that is only the beginning. Who knows what we will become! What we do know is that when Christ is openly revealed, we shall see Christ, and upon seeing Christ, we shall become like Christ. All of us who eagerly await the coming of Christ keep ourselves prepared, taking the radiant purity of Jesus’s life as the model for our own.
