As children of God we have the promise of continual growth through our connection with Jesus. We enjoy the gift of eternal life which begins ‘now’ in our everyday. When we see Christ our transformation will enter a new phase as we become like him in our eternal state. Of course, there are incredible promises to take hold of in our broken world. Yet, the promises of God are true enabling us to live with assurance and hope as “overcomers” in Jesus Christ our Lord.
