1 John 2:28 And now, little children, remain in Christ, so that when He appears, we may be confident and unashamed before Him at His coming.
We are called to remain in Christ and to stay close to Him every day. As we abide in His presence, He gently reveals the areas of our lives that need cleansing.
When we become aware of our sin, we bring it to Him in confession, trusting His perfect blood to cleanse us completely. As we live this way, pursuing purity and walking closely with Him, our hearts are filled with confidence.
We will not be ashamed when He comes, but ready to meet Him with joy. Draw near to Christ today and let your life be prepared for His return.
