Ep 210 – 1 John 2:28-3:10 PT 7

This is the final episode on 1 John, chapter two, verse 28 through chapter three, verse 10. It's entitled, "We Shall Be Like Him" because John is going to discuss that great day when all those who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ will receive glorified bodies and enjoy a state of sinless perfection. That reality should be a huge motivating factor as we live on this planet, waiting for the future day. Our future glorification should inspire us to willingly cooperate with God's present sanctification of our lives. He is slowly, but surely transforming us into the likeness of His Son, as Paul so aptly puts it, from one degree of glory to another. We are not yet glorified. We still have these earthly bodies and our old sin natures. We experience pain and suffering, find ourselves susceptible to temptation and prone to sin. But with the help of the Holy Spirit, the Word of God and the body of Christ, we are being altered, from the inside out. One day that process will be complete and we will have the incredible joy of discovering that we are like Him, Jesus Christ, the one who saved us.
