God is faithful to his word. He keeps his promises. But that faithfulness was not enough for him. He wanted us to have the full assurance of our future with him. So, he gave us a down payment, a deposit, so we could be sure of our inheritance and look forward to fully realizing our salvation. He had Jesus pour the Holy Spirit onto us as an anointing (Titus 3:3-7; 1 John 2:20, 27) and into us as a guarantee of what is to come (2 Corinthians 1:22, 5:5). When God buys us out of slavery to our mortal bodies and redeems us into our eternal home with bodies that will not grow old or decay, we won't need the deposit; we will have our complete inheritance. But until then, until we go to him,! we rejoice in the amazing truth that he makes his home within us! Transcendent and yet ever-near God, thank you for not making me wait to experience your presence. Thank you for giving me |
