It "has not yet appeared," wrote John, "what we will be." What we see now, when we look at other believers -- and what they see when they look at us -- is not what will be in that day. The fact is ... we haven't yet arrived. We're not perfect. We still struggle with sin -- we do those things we ought not do and leave undone the things we ought to do. We're not what we should be. Oh, but when Jesus comes again, "we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him as He is." This is a wonderful promise, a very exciting promise!
We shall see Him as He is
And our faith shalll be no more
Because we now bow before Him
On that celestial heavenly shore.
Yes, we shall see Him as He is, and we shall be satisfied as we awake into His likeness, and behold His face in righteousness.
