STREAM 2 ► Beholding Christ 2

 
1 John 3:2
Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. [NIV]


Anyone who believes in Jesus and accepts him as Lord and savior is a child of God. In God’s household, Jesus is our first born (see Rom 8:29). Everything that he has experienced we shall also experience. This is the pattern of God for the church. We have been crucified with Christ and are raised with Him if we truly are walking in the spirit. The grace of God empowers us to crucify the flesh daily and walk in the spirit. Jesus Christ resurrected with a glorified body and we too who believe in Him shall also resurrect with glorified bodies during rapture (see 1 Cor 15:52).

As our text reveals; we don’t know how we shall be when we are resurrected, all we know is that we shall be like the Lord is. Our minds may not be able to comprehend the glory that shall be revealed in us, but by the spirit of God, we know that we shall be like Christ and reign in glory.

Go into today knowing that the rapture can happen any moment. Just like Jesus lived on the earth to fulfill His God given purpose, you are expected, by the help of the Holy Spirit to do the same. The presence of the Holy Spirit in your life is what guarantees you being raptured (see Eph 1:13-14, 2 Cor 1:22).

Prayer: Thank you Father for Your grace that has selected me for your salvation. I pray you help me always walk worthy of my calling in you, in Jesus name. Amen.
