"Behold what manner of love the Father has given us,
that we should be called children of God.
And that is what we are!
The reason the world does not know us
is that it did not know Him.
Beloved, we are now children of God,
and what we will be has not yet been revealed.
We know that when Christ appears,
we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is."
(1 John 3:1-2)
This painting is inspired by the Love of God and the Word of God
Ephesians 2:4-10: "But because of His great love for us, God, who
is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead
in transgressions-it is by grace you have been saved.
And God raised us up in Christ and seated us with Him in the
heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages
He might show the incomparable riches of His grace, expressed
in His kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-
and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-
not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are
God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works,
which God prepared in advance for us to do."
