See what great love\\xa0the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!\\xa0And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Dear friends,\\xa0now we are children of God,\\xa0and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him,\\xa0for we shall see him as he is. All who have this hope in him purify themselves,\\xa0just as he is pure. Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins.\\xa0And in him is no sin. No one who lives in him keeps on sinning.\\xa0No one who continues to sin has either seen him\\xa0or known him.1 John 3:1-6(NIV)

\\u201cWhen he came to his senses, he said, \\u2018How many of my father\\u2019s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned\\xa0against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.\\u2019 So he got up and went to his father.\\u201cBut while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.\\u201cThe son said to him, \\u2018Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.\\xa0I am no longer worthy to be called your son.\\u2019\\u201cBut the father said to his servants, \\u2018Quick! Bring the best robe\\xa0and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger\\xa0and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let\\u2019s have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again;\\xa0he was lost and is found.\\u2019 So they began to celebrate. Luke 15:17-24(NIV)
