Scripture to Consider: Now and Not Yet

I John 3:2 “Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when He appears, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.”



The Church is a community that exists between two worlds. We live in the old world that is still controlled by sin, but we also live in a new world where the power of death and sin have been defeated by the blood of Christ. The old world is fading away, and someday soon it will no longer exist, and humanity will live in perfect peace with God. This will happen when Christ returns to establish His throne on earth and rules over everything. Therefore we must live this life in the victory we have already and in the hope of the future when Christ returns. Then the inward victory in our hearts will be seen throughout the world, and there will be no more sin, suffering, or death.
