We are justified through faith in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. We must do all we can to go that extra mile. By doing so, we reflect the higher standards of God’s law, the standard of truly loving God and each other. This then makes it possible for us to have access to the presence of the holy God.
No one has been glorified yet but Jesus Christ. God is so confident that He can finish what He has started that He states the promise as though it is already completed. Nothing changes unless it begins in the individual. The individual must change! He/she must repent and go God’s way. As more individuals do this, society will change. Nothing can trump God's Promises never to leave nor forsake us.
We cannot Evade the Holy Spirit to enable Eternal Life. For God’s Spirit is the essence of His mind. We should understand that this promise to Eternal Life stands firm for us too, if we ask according to the will of God.
We must have the Patience to wait on the Lord, for patience is the vital part of the process that enables God to work over a long span of time if needed to produce in us other important aspects of His image so that we “may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing” God is the Source, and His Spirit the means of this valuable fruit.
