As translated in the King James Version:.1John 3:2,3 "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is."

From the original and paraphrased:.'Beloved we are the children of God.(and thus, of the family of God).because of being in Christ.(Ephesians 1:23), even though not yet manifested in the spirit.(spiritual yes, but still in the physical). See with spiritual eyes that your manifestation will be as His.(*; John 4:24; 1Corinthians 2:9; 13:12)..And every man that has this hope in Him.(and thus, would be embracing His example:.1Peter 1:15,16; 2:21).purifies himself.(it's expectation of the continuing supply of the working power of God in an individual that is purifying).toward His example of purity.'

One purifies himself by thinking of himself the way the Creator thinks of him. Believers are not 'becoming' a holy nation. They now comprise a spiritual holy nation:.1Peter 2:9.

Are we purified from our base natures by practicing the do's and don'ts of some religion or by faith?.Acts 15:9 "...purifying their hearts by faith."

Without belief, the power that the Creator sent Christ to Earth to reveal in us, is of non effect:.John 1:12; Mark 7:13; John 17:2; Romans 1:16; 15:13; 16:25,26.

Is there something that you could do to release your shadow side?

To know God: To really know God, one must be equal with Him:.1John 4:8. First though, is to know God is real. To be like God, one must decide to love and even this, like so many other things to do with God, is a gift from God:.1John 4:20; 5:20.

A decision to love is the starting point of all true spirituality and it is a key to obtaining eternal life:.John 17:3. Why

It is important to pursue peace and holiness:.Hebrews 12:14; Psalms 34:14.

The purity of hearts is important to God:.2Peter 3:11 ".....what manner of persons ought you to be in all holy conversation.(conversation is old English for 'conduct').and Godliness?" Lamentations 3:25 "The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seek him."

Philippians 1:9,10 "And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more.(how to do this).and more in knowledge and in all judgment, that you may approve.(how to do this).things that are excellent that you may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ."

Paraphrase:.'I pray that by increasing knowledge.(giving time for study and taking quiet time with God), you will see just how love for others is what really counts and that having come to this conclusion, you will pursue that which provides the security of your stance in Christ.'

James 1:27 "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this: To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction and to keep himself unspotted from the world."
