I discovered this recently(surprised I was not aware of it all this time!) and is one of my(if not the) favourite verses. Was watching one of Ray's audios when he mentioned it.
1 John 4:17
17 In this made perfect hath been the love with us, that boldness we may have in the day of the judgment, because even as He is, we--we also are in this world
My comments:
So we can stand in the presence of Christ, knowing a clean conscience, that all our sufferings were NOT for nothing, and knowing were are as of Christ; following in our Master's footsteps. To do His work in us, perfected in love, and learning obedience through suffering. Worrying not about anything, Expecting the hope that lies within us, and being the light and salt of the world.
