PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE The gospel is the thread that connects our past, present, and future. Look at it this way: we were slaves to this world, but now we are adopted children with an assured hope that we will spend eternity in heaven. In Romans 8, Paul broke down how the gospel alters our state of being. When Paul said we believers are not supposed to “fall back into fear,” he was referring to our former state as slaves in fear of death and the penalty of the law. Instead, through the Spirit, we are adopted into and become part of God’s family. As God’s children, all ties to past sins are severed and forgotten. Now, we can look forward to a future filled with an unshakeable hope and a shared inheritance of Christ’s glory. Since we are freed from our past, cared for in our present, and assured of our future, let’s live our faith boldly, love sacrificially, and treasure Christ greatly. Father, thank You for the gift of adoption into Your family. I trust You with my past, present, and future!
