\n\nWhen that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be
done away.\u201d \u2013 I Corinthians 13:10
When the \u201cPerfect Man\u201d comes, only then shall we see Him as He is and be
made like Him. In the meantime, our faith is mixed with unbelief. Our
love is mixed with selfishness. Our understanding is mixed with
ignorance. Our sorrow for sin is shallow. Our worship falls so far short
of its mark. Our experience of peace is fraught with fear. Our joy is
mixed with sorrow. Truly, \u201cNow we see through a glass darkly\u2026\u201d
Here is our hope brethren\u2026 Faith does not look to our experience in
these graces for the hope of our salvation. Oh no! Faith looks to that
Perfect Man in whom all these spiritual graces are full and complete.
May we rest the hope of our salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ who
stands in our stead before Almighty God. \u201cWherefore, He is able to save
them to the uttermost (perfectly) that come unto God by Him, seeing He
ever liveth to make intercession for them\u201d (Heb. 7:25). \u2013 Greg Elmquist\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
