Our vile bodies shall be just like his glorious body; WE SHALL SEE HIM AS HE IS, in all the glory and majesty both His Divine and human nature.
“Dear friends, now WE ARE CHILDREN OF GOD, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM, for we shall see him AS HE IS.” (1 John 3:2) [All of us who have this hope of seeing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, AS HE REALY IS; enjoying him in HIS OWN GLORY; WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE STAY PURE and that we abstain from all evil, and keep ourselves from all evil that is in the world, the lusts of the flesh, of the eye, and the pride of life. God having purified our hearts, it is our business to KEEP OURSELVES IN THE LOVE OF GOD, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.] “This is how we know who the CHILDREN OF GOD are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor IS ANYONE WHO DOES NOT LOVE THEIR BROTHER AND SISTER.” (1 John 3:10) [God made of us all of ONE BLOOD to dwell upon the face of the whole earth TOGETHER, so all are ONE FAMILY; and consequently all of us are brothers and sisters, and SHOULD LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS BROTHERS AND SISTERS.] “We know that we have passed from death to life, BECAUSE WE LOVE EACH OTHER. Anyone who does not love REMAINS IN DEATH.” (1 John 3:14) [Our Abba Father has delivered us from the power of darkness, and transformed us into the kingdom of the Son of God! We have left that kingdom of oppression, desolation, and anguish, and have come over to the kingdom of life, whose king is the Prince and Author of life; where all is liberty, prosperity, and happiness; where life and love are universally predominant, and DEATH AND HATRED CANNOT ENTER.] “This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And WE OUGHT TO LAY DOWN OUR LIVES FOR OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS.” (1 John 3:16)
Be blessed as you praise The Lord, being ready TO LAY DOWN OUR LIVES FOR OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS TODAY!
