Already Not Yet (1 John 2:28-3:3)
Bob Schultz, March 29, 2020Part of the I John series, preached at a Sunday Morning service
Today we will consider 2 more aspects of genuine hope. First, we will be like Christ when He comes again. Second, that produces a purified life while we wait.
1 John 2:28–3:3 (Listen)
28 And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his coming. 29 If you know that he is righteous, you may be sure that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.
3:1 See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2 Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. 3 And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.
