“As He Is, We Are…”
“As He Is, We Are…”
Blessings folk!
Let us look closer at the Love of God as revealed in 1 John.
So much here.
So much to learn.
So much to understand.
So much to live.
Read slowly.
Read closely.
1 Jo 4:16-17
We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us.
God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world.
God is love.
The one who abide in love abides in God.
God abides in that one.
Now…the next verse.
It is by this…the abiding of the Love of God in us and our abiding in Him…that love is perfected (completed) within us.
Why is His love perfected/completed within us?
So that we may have confidence in the day of judgment!
Our confidence is not in the flesh.
Our confidence is not in our ability.
Our confidence is the Lord.
He perfects His love in us.
Then, the last phrase…
We have confidence…
Because as He is , so also are we in this world.
Huh?
LOL
God is love.
We are His imagers in this world.
Believers are redeemed imagers that manifest the Love of God in a dark world.
As He is, we are.
Wow…
