Daily Verse: 1 John 3:3
"And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure."
I remember I first read this verse was when I was in JC. At that time, my tutorial group formed a prayer group which we met after lessons. We were each assigned a verse and to share from the verse. I can't remember what I shared. I was then a young believer and I know that at the time I didn't know that I have to look at the context.
The Hope here is that one day we will be like Christ, when the day we all gather in heaven to worship Him. What are we to do now? To work towards to be like Him with the purifying power of the Holy Spirit.
If our aim is to be like Him, we truly will be purify. Our hearts, our actions, our speeches, our attitudes will be like Him. Isn't that Pure? :-)
I think WWJD (What Would Jesus Do?) bracelet is kinda of useful then.
Lord, help me to be pure so by aiming to be like You. Amen
