(Read 1 John 3:1-3.)

4. Everyone having the hope of heavenly life should do what?

⁴ Right now, anointed ones are God’s children. “But,” says John, “as yet it has not been made manifest what we shall be” after dying in faithfulness and being resurrected to heavenly life with spirit bodies. (Philippians 3:20, 21) However, when God is “made manifest,” they will be “like him” and will “see him just as he is,” as “Jehovah the Spirit.” (2 Corinthians 3:17, 18)
