I have a future. God promises that I have an inheritance. The guarantee of that promise is the Spirit of God which now indwells me. Oh my.
If Luke 17:14, Colossians 3:17, Proverbs 17:22 and 1John 5:1 are parameters of my walk with God in this life, Ephesians 1:14 is the promise of a walk with God beyond this life.
“The Spirit is God’s guarantee that he will give us the inheritance he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. He did this so we would praise and glorify him.”
We are God’s own people. We shall one day see Him face-to-face. We shall one day live in His presence. He will wipe away all the tears that flow through our life here on earth. We shall be made whole. Darkness, death will be gone forever.
That is His promise to those who accept His offer of salvation. I can only imagine what awaits us when we take our last breath in this life, and our first one in His Eternal Presence.
