“Good Things That Are Now Already Here” For Christians!
Several incredible technological, environmental, and societal advancements are being touted as great things that are happening now in the world. On the other hand, Christians are often portrayed, or even made fun of, as drearily waiting for some kind of “pie-in-the sky” reward in the future. As Jesus candidly admitted, “in the world you have tribulation” (John 16:33 LSB). However, the Bible also itself tells us another side of the story. The New Testament tells us about the many “good things that are now already here” for Christians! How is this so, and what are some of these “good things that are now already here”? Are these “good things” possibly even better than what the world in general has to offer?
