What is the purpose of Scripture? The answer is to bring us to Christ our Savior. What is the work of God the Holy Spirit? The answer is to guide and show us the truth. How do we interpret Gods Word? The answer is to compare Scripture with Scripture. Unity, how do we achieve it? The answer is to listen as we read what God the Holy Spirit says. How do we learn? The answer is by asking the questions that God gave to all mankind: who, what, where, when, how, and why. So what does our Bible have to say about this? Second Timothy 3:16""17, the Bible is inspired by God, and 2 Timothy 2:15: "We are to study like a worker to be able to rightly divide the Word of TRUTH." I believe Hebrews 11:6 sums it up: "But without faith it is impossible to please HIM, for he who comes to GOD must believe that HE is, and that HE is a rewarder of those who diligently seek HIM." As you read this book, please do not miss these two points: God decided how He would build His house before He created time, and that our adoption is not speaking of our new birth but rather of our new life""that time in our future when we receive our new spiritual body""this is our inheritance. In His kingdom, we will no longer have sin in us.
The goal of this little book is to let the Holy Spirit speak for Himself. As you read these verses that have to do with God's decisions before He began His work of creation, they say-before time began, from the beginning, or were written in the past tense, yet they speak about the present and also about our future. My prayer is that you see God deciding how and why He is building His temple or, in other words, His final resting place-just as Paul writes in 2 Corinthians chapter 5, where the subject is eternal life with our Blessed God and Savior. Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Holy Spirit as a guarantee. May we clearly see that, in His infinite wisdom, God chose us, the believers, the ones who responded to His call, to love and trust Him, in Christ our Savior. Being found in Him and us in our new spiritual body, sin is totally eradicated, and God's final resting place is complete. Think on these things-flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: "Death is swallowed up in victory.
