Introduction: This morning we arrive at 1 John 3 where John will shows us what we are, what we shall be and what we should be doing now. 1a Behold 1b what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, (See Eph 2:4-5, 3:17-19, Rom 8:37-39) 1d that we should be called children of God! (See Jn 1:12, Rom 8:17) 1d and we are! (See John 14:18) 1e Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. (See John 14:17) 2a Beloved, now we are children of God; 2b and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. (1 Cor 2:9, 2 Cor 5:21) 3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure. (Rom 12:1-2)
