‘We will struggle with sin, but we don’t lose heart because we know that even though our outer person is wasting away, our inner person is being renewed day by day by the work of the spirit as we partake of His means of grace.  Indeed, seeing him through the Word, the sacraments, and the church will impel and motivate our transformation.’

“See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.” 1 John 3.1-3
