Episode notes
Children of God
- John emphasizes that not everyone is a child of God by default.
- Becoming a child of God happens through adoption, by faith in Jesus Christ.
Worldly Recognition
- The world may not recognize us as children of God, just as it didn't recognize Jesus.
- This is because the world doesn't know God.
Purifying Hope
- Hoping in Christ is a purifying act.
- This hope, or trust in God's promises, is what purifies, not our own efforts.
