We Shall See Him as He Is

When the Apostle John wrote his first epistle he gave his readers many

assurances of salvation.  In fact, in the last chapter and verse 13 he gives

his purpose  in writing.  "These things have I written unto you that believe

on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life,

and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God." To know for sure

whether or not we are saved is better than to  not know until after we have

died and opened our eyes in eternity.  That seems a little late to me.

In chapter three and verse two of this same epistle John writes, "Beloved

now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but

we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him;  for we shall see

Him as he is." When He came the first time in Bethlehem He became like us.

When He comes again we will become like Him.

Now, read I John 3:3; "And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth

himself, even as He is pure."  It's like preparing for a house guest.  Jesus

is coming again, we know not when.  But it is a certain fact.  Be ready.
