“We know that when He appears, we will be like Him because we will see Him just as He is. And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.” (1 John 3:2-3)
An invitation to a dinner party often comes with the need to anticipate the dress code. How formal is too formal? How casual is too casual? You do your best to guess, but without specific instructions, you don’t entirely know how well you chose your adornment until the front door is opened and you are greeted by the host. Their attire either confirms or refutes your clothing choices.
Someday, we will all meet Jesus and see Him as He really is. When the gates of heaven are opened, and He descends from on high, we will see the glorified King… and with the anticipation of that meeting, those who hope for that day, purify themselves. It’s a meeting with the King; I wish for my soul to be dressed in its finest.
Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
