Behold how much
I love you
for now you’re called
My child
abiding in Me
and Me in you
My Spirit
testifies.
A laid down life is called “child” by God.
“Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.” 1 John 3:1,24 NKJV
