A meditation on 1 John 3

Does your faith almost fail you? Fear not, it is neither your graces nor
feelings on which you are to live: you must live simply by faith on
Christ. With all these things against us, now-in the very depths of our
sorrow, wherever we may be-now, as much in the valley as on the mountain,
"Beloved, now are we the sons of God." "Ah, but," you say, "see how I am
arrayed! my graces are not bright; my righteousness does not shine with
apparent glory.
" But read the next: "It doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know
that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him.
" The Holy Spirit shall purify our minds, and divine power shall refine
our bodies, then shall we see him as he is.

--Morning, Feb 13, CH Spurgeon
