We not only have the Faith to be saved and adopted into the family of God, but we trust God to eliminate the sins that so easily beset us, alter our steps that they may be pleasing to him, completely eradicate our past sins and shorcomings and banish them into the sea of His forgetfulness through a bloodbought pardon that could only be purchased by his own Son, and complete the sonship process by which we become his personal possession. It is a tiny inference, but, I think, so very meaningful to the mature life achieved by the promise of eventual immortality, and a dwellingplace beyond our capacity to imagine. I think we not only have faith in the promises of God, but we trust our perfect God to carry them out. Lucky HopeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
