Behold, how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn't know us, because it didn't know him.
The world has only fictional, false conceptions regarding our Father and regarding us, his children...Let no true spiritual child of God count on recognition from the world...Grieve not that the world does not know you; this is one proof that you are God’s child (Lenski 450-451).
