@Gabriel Anderson thanks for asking about this, the verse feels inspiring to me because it's amazing to think about God's love for us it feels like friendship and support that God invites us to believe in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior united with Father God and Holy Spirit and through faith by God's grace give us eternal life and adventures alongside with us and that's very motivating to me as I meditate on these ideas and feel thankfulness for these things

@Gabriel Anderson thanks for the great discussion on these topics, I agree, I really enjoy the letter of 1John also and how it speaks about what it means to be children of God through faith and God's amazing love for us and the New Living Translation is great as well I like the NIV translation also
