John outlines this is a significant chapter for all Christians as it reminds us our identity is to be firmly found In Christ! Therefore, everything that Jesus has we have in him. This is the means by which we have every spiritual blessing which this chapter unpacks.
Some of these amazing spiritual blessings that we experience now are that God has chosen us, made us holy & blameless, adopted us as sons giving us the full rights of sonship, given us purpose to live every day bringing glory to God, given redemption from our sins, lavished us with his grace, and made us new creations.
This will culminate in the return of Jesus Christ, where everything will come under Jesus Christ’s headship, and we will be part of this glorious eternal future. Therefore, whilst current world events may be scary, we have no reason to fear, if our identity is found in Christ.
