God wants us for keeps. He wants us now and for all eternity. There is no time to wait, why would you? God sent His radiance and glory to earth so that we may have abundant life—starting now! We may walk in His radiance and glory starting now, furnished with His Holy Spirit, love, guidance, and divine purpose. Jesus came to claim us, to save us for Himself and once we are saved, we are secure in Him.
What does that mean? Will nothing uncomfortable or difficult befall us? We can be saved, but the things of earth are not. As long as evil is roaming, we will still see trouble. Jesus wept when He was here on earth; he faced death, unbelievers and sin, corruption and persecution. This is the stuff of the world so we will see it and may be touched by it. We can choose to face it without God, senselessly and without end, or choose God and through it all, take comfort in the One whose aim is to be our loving Father forever. Not adrift in desolation, no, we are safe in His arms and He will bring us home
Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation? Hebrews 1:14
