“When Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.” I Jn 3:2b (NIV) This is one of the greatest promises in Scripture. We want complete inner peace as well as perfect harmony with others. Most of all we want to experience the rapture of being in complete unity with God. We know we can’t have these things now but this verse promises all these things for us. We can say this because the barrier to all these blessings is our complete transformation into the image of Christ. Once we become fully like Christ we will have all these blessings and more. As we focus our hearts on this daily we receive power to throw aside everything in our lives that interferes with Christformation!
