everlasting II

from the first everlasting post: "I realized that today, not "someday" like we often hear, but starting today, starting when we accepted Christ, we began living our everlasting lives with Jesus."

I thought about this the rest of the day. I was surprised at it, i barely recall writing it but am stunned by its implications. The more i thought about it, the more i realized we are already living in eternity. We dont have to wait to be in Jesus' presence in heaven to be living in His presence. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Father is everywhere, in all things, above all things, beyond all things. The Son is ruling in heaven, and will be ruling on Earth soon. The Spirit is already here. As i realized this i came to understand that we really dont have to wait for heaven to begin living in eternity.

The moment we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, the Spirit comes into us. The moment we have the spirit in us, is the moment we begin eternity with God. All the power and glory and perfectness of heaven is available to us in the Spirit, who has been here for 2000+ years now. Eternity begins now, it began yesterday, it begins anew tomorrow along with his mercy and grace. Lets live like it.
