The Beloved Disciple wrote by THE SPIRIT in 1 John chapter 3:
1 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
2 Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.
3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
How is FATHER to be revealed to the world? Through us! Jesus said Himself (in John chapter 14:7) “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.” Our purpose is to reveal FATHER to the world which in turn will destroy the works of the devil:
8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.
Many believers are up in arms about the political situations around the world yet our focus should be to reveal FATHER to mankind. That is the purpose of Sons and Daughters of Our Heavenly Father. As we fully mature, we shall be like HIM for we shall see HIM as HE is. How do we mature? By purifying ourselves with HIS Word, both by HIS written Word and HIS Word spoken to us by HIS Most Holy Spirit. What is the key aspect of FATHER being revealed in us? By Agape Love, for by Love FATHER is revealed to mankind as the Beloved Disciple wrote In chapter 4:
7 Beloved, let us [unselfishly] love and seek the best for one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves [others] is born of God and knows God [through personal experience].
8 The one who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for GOD is Love. [He is the originator of love, and it is an enduring attribute of His nature.]
9 By this the love of God was displayed in us, in that God has sent His [One and] only begotten Son [the One who is truly unique, the only One of His kind] into the world so that we might live through Him.
10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation [that is, the atoning sacrifice, and the satisfying offering] for our sins [fulfilling God’s requirement for justice against sin and placating His wrath].
11 Beloved, if God so loved us [in this incredible way], we also ought to love one another.
12 No one has seen God at any time. But if we love one another [with unselfish concern], God abides in us, and His love [the love that is His essence abides in us and] is completed and perfected in us.
13 By this we know [with confident assurance] that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given to us His [Holy] Spirit. AMPL
If Love does not abide in us and through us, then we do not know FATHER nor have we ever known HIM (verse 8). This is quite an indictment against many who profess to be Christians. How can we destroy the works of the devil if we are not motivated by the pure Agape Love given to us by FATHER? Let each of us repent of any past works that did not reflect FATHER’S unconditional Love for mankind. Many focus on being strong in faith or focus on the prophetic yet if they do not walk in Agape Love, their faith and works are motivated by self interest and will not last.
The works of the devil have reached a crescendo in this world but there is a remnant who has grasped the Truth found in the above passages and are growing stronger each day in Agape Love. Let us build our foundation on Agape Love as we purify ourselves in The Word and we will reveal FATHER to the world by both Word and deed. This is what will destroy the works of the devil.
