Imagine you are standing before God on the day of judgment. How do you feel? Not very confident? Overconfident? Let’s look at how we can achieve exactly the right level of confidence by meditating on one John chapter four, verse 17. By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment because as he is, so also, are we in the world.
John has just been talking about how we are abiding in Christ and Christ is abiding in us. And how we are confessing him with our mouths. By this, love is perfected in us and with us by the confession of our faith, but also by the fact that Jesus is living in us.
This is something over which we don’t have a lot of control. We can’t make God do his work any quicker than he will do it. This should give us some relief. We don’t have to work at being perfected in the way that this verse describes. That’s God’s job.
