Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? (John 14:1-2)
God’s people are made, loved, and saved by God. We are not just saved now, but destined for an eternity with God.
Remember that the clocks go back at 2am on Sunday morning

In love he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will (Ephesians 1:4-5)
We’re continuing our look at who we are. The Bible says that we are loved by God, and that love is what means we have been chosen for adoption as his children. Can there be anything greater than knowing we are loved by God?
Then God said, ‘Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness' (Genesis 1:26)
Who am I? The question of identity is one that affects all of us. Who we are, where we come from, and what we are made for, are fundamental questions for each one of us. Over the next few weeks we will be looking at what the Bible says about who we are, and why it matters.

Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God. (John 1:12-13)
