1 John 2:28
“And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming.”
Understanding this passage
John's counsel to people who might drift is simple: continue in Him. Staying close now means confidence later, not shame.
Why this verse helps
Distance often starts as drifting. This verse calls you back to remaining in Christ before shame hardens into a lifestyle.
A prayer for you
Jesus, I want to continue in You. Keep me close and unashamed. Amen.
