John 17:23 says, I in them, and You in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them, as You have loved Me.

When you know - really know - that God is your very own Father and you are His very own child, this knowledge will have the following effect on you: You will have as much freedom and fellowship with the Father as Jesus had in His earth walk, because God the Father loves you even as He loved Jesus!

Some may say, I just can't believe that God loves me as much as He loves Jesus. Thank God, I can! I believe it, because the Bible says it, and that settles it!

You and I can say with Jesus in John 16:32 ...I am not alone, because the Father is with me. Because if God loves me as He loves Jesus— and He does—then He is with me as He was with Jesus. I am never afraid, just as Jesus was never afraid. There is nothing to fear. What can man do to the man or woman whom God loves and protects!
