We’re Not There Yet – Susan Barnes
“Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.” 1 John 3:2
This verse tells me God has restored my relationship with him through Jesus' death, so I'm “now” God's child. The “not yet” tells me we've not gained all that was lost as a consequence of Adam and Eve's sin.
Therefore, no matter how spiritually mature I become, my garden will still produce weeds, and annoying things will still happen in my daily life. We live between the “now” and the “not yet”. In Isaiah 2:4 we find this prophesy: “They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore.” But we are not there yet. Isaiah 11:6-9 tells of a time when: “The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together … The infant will play near the cobra’s den, and the young child will put its hand into the viper’s nest. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.” But we are not there yet. God’s kingdom is both a present reality and a future one. We have faith because God has more in mind than we presently see. We have hope because we know that Christ is coming to set the world right.

Perfect to equip the believer for defending their faith. Ideal to send to a skeptical friend or family member. Great for teens and young adults who have never reviewed the objective evidence for God's existence and identity.
An in-depth study of the factual evidence leads a person to realize how little faith they need to believe, while they gain great faith at the same time.
