Beloved, now we are children of God, and it is not yet revealed what we will be. But we know that, when he is revealed, we will be like him; for we will see him just as he is.
Three magnificent truths present themselves in this passage: Jesus is coming again, we shall be like Him when we see Him, and we shall see Him as He is. These gospel truths should be all the incentive anyone needs to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world. This is the import of the next passage.
