Beloved, we are now children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when Christ appears, we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is. — 1 John 3:2

Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared. But when He appears, we will be like Him, because we'll see Him as He is. We don't yet see the full picture — we see through a glass darkly. But one day we'll see Him face to face and be transformed into His likeness. That's the hope that purifies us.
