About This Product
In 1 John 4:17, we read, “Herein is our love made perfect [or, has love been perfected with us], that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as He is, so are we in this world.”
Knowing these things, what manner of persons ought we to be? “Oh!” responds the soul, who is living in the enjoyment of this wondrous portion, “I want to be like Christ now.” This is the natural result. The more simple our faith, and the firmer our grasp of these things, the more earnest will be the soul’s desire that our practical condition and ways should correspond to them. The assurance of them does not lead to license, but rather to purifying ourselves, even as Christ is pure.
“We all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord [or, looking on the glory of the Lord with unveiled face], are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord” (2 Cor. 3:18).
