As He Is, So Also Are We In This World
by Joey Carroll Corinth Missionary Baptist Church
As we near the end of 1 John with only one chapter left to go, we come across one of my favorite statements in this letter, “as He is, so also are we in this world,” (1 John 4:17, NASB). There are several issues in this letter that John repeats often in typical John fashion, such as the subject of putting away sin and walking in His righteousness. He also discusses the subject of walking in His love, as well as confessing His Son. All of these are descriptive of the character of the God who created us and sent His Son in love to redeem us. Through faith in Jesus Christ, we are born again and begin to grow in the nature and character of God as we show forth that godly character to a lost and sinful world.
