1 John #5 - To See for the First Time

The future can feel distant when immediate needs fill every thought. John says God’s children will see Jesus face to face at His return, become like Him, and stand confident because the Father has loved them. This hope does not promise present sinlessness, but it changes the direction of life so sin no longer sets its pattern. Daily acts of holiness, love, care, and work for God are therefore not wasted; they belong to the new world Jesus is bringing. Bible Reference: 1 John 2:28–3:10 Preacher: KJ Tromp
