You Are God's Child -- We Will Become Like God's Son
(1 John 3:2-6)
The thought is astounding. One day, God's children will **be like** Jesus **when He appears** (2). This incredible fact follows John's logic well. If believers are born into God's family, it makes sense that our full transformation would make us like God's Son. As God's kids, we will one day be like the Son of God. (9 Minutes/2200 Words)

Read moreChapter 35, and all the way to the end of the book in Chapter 40, is fairly repetitive in that the exact descriptions that God gave to Moses of the tabernacle on the mountain are now said by Moses, exactly as he received them, to the people so that they might get busy about the mission of building this tabernacle. But the repetition need not scare us as believers today. The repetition is helpful because it helps us understand that we must heed the word of God precisely, not loosely, but we must precisely heed the word of God.

Humanity was supposed to wear a crown — not one made of gold and jewels, but of God's glory and honor. We were supposed to be a regal people, free and self-controlled. Love and joy and goodness were intended to flow from our lives and hands and hearts.
Read moreAs a reminder, we're here in the book of Exodus, in the middle of a three-chapter section where the people of Israel first rebelled in building the golden calf while Moses was still on Mount Sinai. Then secondly, and we'll see it in this chapter, Moses will mediate for the people. He's actually already begun mediating for the people a little bit in chapter 32, which we saw in our last study together. And then finally, God is going to restore the people of Israel. So that's the flow that we're in, in this little three chapter section. Rebellion of Israel, the mediation of Moses for Israel, and then the restoration of God to Israel.
