See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! - 1 John 3:1a

We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. - 1 John 1:3
