2025 TEENS VOLUME RHAPSODY OF REALITIES – MESSAGE.
When you read this epistle of John, you have to be careful to read everything; otherwise, you may conclude that there are contradictions. For example, in our opening verse, the epistle says, “It doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” This, therefore, means we’re not yet like Him.
But then 1 John 4:17 says, “As He is, so are we in this world.” At first glance, this might seem like a contradiction. How can we be like Jesus now if we’re not like Him yet? The first one is about your appearance—your outward appearance. Look at it again, “Beloved, now are we the sons of God.” We’re already the sons of God in our spirits. The Bible says, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17). That recreation took place in your spirit when you were born again. Now, your spirit is like Him, but your physical appearance isn’t like Him yet. So when it says, “It doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is,” he’s referring to the Rapture, where, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, we shall be changed. We will be clothed with our celestial bodies, and we shall be like Him in appearance. Glory to God!
Observe that 1 John 4:17 says, “as He is…,” not “as He was.” We’re like Him now, not as He was before His death. When He was raised from the dead, we were raised together with Him, and we came alive with a new kind of life: the resurrection life. So,as He is now, the glorified Son of God, so are we in this world!
