groan within ourselves, waiting for our adoption, the

redemption of the body.”

Yes, the whole creation which has, for this hope subjected

to futility also groans and waits for the manifestation of the

sons of God.

We are subjected to the vanity or futility that we encounter in

nature, the death and destruction,darkness and depravity present

in this age. However the Holy Spirit heralds the Future in God,

with God through Christ Jesus our Lord.

We are pioneers of hope as we wait for our adoption, that is the

redemption of our body.

We understand that we are redeemed by our Lord and Savior

Jesus Christ and sealed with the Holy Spirit. We are now the

children of God. It does not yet appear what we shall be, but

when He appears we shall see Him as He is, for we shall be like

Him. Through the Holy Spirit, we experience the love of God

which is shed abroad in our hearts and we cry, Abba, Father!

We have witnessed the New Reality in Christ Jesus.

Unseen, yet very real!

We are saved. Based on this salvation we proceed to know

and anticipate. The physical, emotional, social, economic

aspects of our lives are lived under this knowledge and

anticipation.

We are made partakers of the divine nature by Christ Jesus

our Lord and Savior through the Holy Spirit according to

the will of the Father. Now, this moment and every minute

of this fleeting temporal life we are under the hope and

anticipation of the divine Now, the eternity that is His.

“For by hope we are saved: but hope that is seen is not

hope: for what a man sees why does he yet wait? But if

we hope for the unseen, then we wait with patience.”

Waiting with hope and patiently possible only with God.

God’s thoughts of eternity, new creation, freedom, wholeness

and holiness are only accessible through His Holy Spirit.

We are as Paul, determined to know only and focus on Jesus

and Him crucified and the Holy Spirit that raised Him from

the dead. The Spirit bears witness that we are children of God.

Through the Holy Spirit we experience the love of God poured

into our hearts and we express our hope, praise, thanks, love

and longing as we cry, Abba, Father!

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
