The Free Gift of Salvation

[Michael The Disciple]

However, we do well to caution. We're not talking about being conformed into the image of the humanity of Jesus, that Jewish man who lived 2,000 years ago. Nope. We're talking about the glorified Christ Jesus who is God

I guess someone forgot to tell the apostles we are not called to be the same as Jesus.

In this love has been made perfect among us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, even so are we in this world. 1 John 4:17

Only those who are like Jesus NOW have any assurance of FINAL salvation.

Anyone who claims to be IN HIM is supposed to be walking AS HE WALKED.

But whoever keeps his word, God’s love has most certainly been perfected in him. This is how we know that we are in him: 2:6 he who says he remains in him ought himself also to walk just like he walked. 1 John 2:5-6

So it is at PRESENT we are to be like JESUS.
