"DOES GOD, THE FATHER, LOVE ME?" - 1 John 3:1-3


Our author, John the apostle, is "beside himself" with something. He starts his sentence with "behold!" -- an imperative form of "to see". In other words, he is saying, "You have got to see this!"


What is he so excited about? Well, it has to do with God's love -- the Father's love.
