Since we are made in the image of God, the better we know Him, the better we know ourselves and each other.
It’s not enough to know Him only as Savior. We must get to know Him as Father, Friend, and Guide. The better we know Him, the more satisfying our spiritual lives will be.
The hope that belongs to our calling should be a dynamic force in our lives, encouraging us to be pure, obedient, and faithful.
The fact that we shall one day see Christ and be like Him should motivate us to live like Christ today.
