The Bible’s consummate fulfilled prophecy was that God would be with His people, literally. God, then, is the “with us” God that stands by us, stands for us and as our Creator, dwells within us. Salvation by God is what all of Israel waited for, and whereby all peoples, would also have the opportunity to experience. Jesus Christ, God incarnate, is the final prophet, priest, King and promised Messiah. He is fully God and fully man, who came in the flesh for our salvation. Because of this, we can now be confident of being with God for all eternity.
Let us begin this new year with hearts full of expectancy, thanking God for loving us through his act of saving us, allowing us to experience a glimpse of heaven during our days here on Earth.
