Privilege And Responsibility For The Hopeful.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 1, 2023

What we are, and whose we are will not be fully evident until the Lord returns for His own. Then we shall see Him as He is. Then we shall be transformed, and fully conformed to His image.

PRIVILEGE AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE HOPEFUL. 1 John 3:1-3. “Behold,” says John. Pause for thought and reflection. For it is indeed a wonderful demonstration of God's love that “we” should be called the sons of God (1 John 3:1). This was not what we deserved, but as we know from other ...read more
